Ride Anyone?

We haven't done a curvy road ride in forever. I am chomping at the bit to do one. We can do a shorty ride down Hwy 25 or a longer run thru Little River Canyon. Is anybody interested in doing something that involves some curves??? If so please post your interest date & place you wanna ride. Come on people!!!! I am ready to ride, let's go!!!!!!!!

I'm doing Road Atlanta next weekend that's pretty twisty in parts. Just got back from driving 25 most of it is repaved.

25 was always my favorite twisty drive in the early 90s, when I still lived in Bhm.

Also liked to blast up the west side of Cheaha, especially after the leaves had fallen and you could see ahead and around the curves through the trees.

And we rented TGPR for dedicated track days.

What about a combined 25 and drive-in trip? What's playing in Harpersville/Childersburg/wherever the bleep it is?

So did anyone besides Bzn_By do 25 to Harpersville? I still think its time for a trip to the drive-in, before its too cold like last time.

I didn't go to the Drive in as it is hard to go do much on a week nite. I am game to go any Sat or Sun nite. Just pick a day & lets do it

Soul, we were thinking about doing a ride to Little River Canyon when the weather cools down a bit. My guess is sometime in September or October. I would love to go when the leaves are changing

I'm game for this weekend, assuming the movies are not changing to a Will Farrell or Ben Stiller flick.

Hey now, that last Will Farrell movie was pretty funny , I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
We never made it to the drive in last week, so if you all go this weekend, we would be game for possibly Saturday night

OK this Saturday it is. Geez Die Hard & Rat are leaving. The choices are now Harry Potter & the Transformers. I am up for Transformers but would rather take a hot poker to the eye than watch Harry Potter. The showtime is 8:15. Do you guys wanna meet around 7PM somewhere near 119 & 280 to do a quick Hwy25 run on our way?

What is "Transformers" about and who is in it?
Of course we want to take 25 so majority rules on what time and where to meet.

It's the movie where all the cars morph into robots or something. It looks like it will at least have cool special effects. Here is the Yahoo review/description of it

You can still come if you don't get your brakes fixed.... as long as you are not driving behind me

Sounds good to me. We could meet at Hamburger Heaven at 7PM or if anybody is interested in meeting at 5:30 or 6PM we could grab a bite at Lloyd's before we take off. Just let me know what you guys wanna do & I will start a new thread with all the details so everyone can see it

Angie and I would like to do the Drive-Inn / Motorin' duo and join the fun. She hasn't been to Lloyd's yet, so we may have a bite beforehand if others are interested. Or we'll just stop at Milo's on the way...

Another of my podcasts speaks that the Transformers movie was really good, and they weren't expecting much (take it at face value).
