Were still in . Looking forward to it .

 

I have something I'll post concerning Cheaha as soon as I figure out how to do it right

 

Early look on the weather, looks great. Sunshine and upper 50's. Was in that area this morning, and yes the leaves are just beginning to bring a beautiful color to the mountain side. Looks like this will be a really fun trip.

 

Good , I am curious about what PB wants to post about Cheaha, I guess she hasn't figured it out yet .
We look forward to it, I think the bike riders I invited will be backing out, but I don't know for sure.

 

I said it before, but I'm sorry I can't make it. Have a great run, everybody!

 

I tried to copy and paste an article from the B'ham News my husband told me about but I got a bunch of font coding so I ditched it! Argh!

I searched ......"Cheaha Roads"

It was about the roads being dangerous. We have been on them many many times before but the people we know that live there say they really need work. Bruce was concerned about our cars getting dings from the excessive gravel and potholes. We used to ride it on Harley's but not again til its fixed.

The residents are trying to have them repaired before winter set in.

Hey BZN BY, sorry about the delay on my reply.

 

4 of us went to Cheaha on April 1st this year & the road was in good shape. It was pretty smooth & no gravel flew. I read that article too & wondered what the hec they were talking about If they have since laid some gravel down we just can't ride each other's butts & we will be fine

p.s...I wonder if they are talking about the side roads off the main Cheaha road? Those side roads are nothing but dirt/gravel roads but the main Cheaha road is paved not gravelled. It is smooth enough to take the twisties spiritedly but it is only 1-1/2 lanes wide so you gotta keep an eye out for traffic

 

Who's doing lunch?

 

This road may be a bit unpleasant for motorcycles as it is a bit bumpy and the road surface and quality changes frequently, but it is a non-issue for cars.

 

What are the times again might be able to make it. Getting a sway bar put on Fri would be a good chance to try it out.

 

Around 1PM if you wanna eat. We will leave for the drive at 2:30PM.

I'll be there for lunch

 

Don't know about lunch yet, but we will be there before 2:30

 

Any idea what time you all will crest Cheaha? Is there a specific turnaround point? May be that I can meet up if the window is right.

 

A total guess for the midway, turnaround part of the drive is 1.5 hours. I PM'd ya my cell # Louispup if ya wanna try to catch us sometime during the ride call & I will try to grab the phone while changing gears & turning the wheel

 

Drove that stretch a few months ago, so I'm with you, TT (feel free to let it ring a while). I'll have my radio also if I catch up. I'll phone you as I veer in that direction Sunday. Thanks for the info!

 

Weather looks great for tomorrow, 73 & sunny. Looks like a top-down day

 

We were out motoring today and the colors are really starting to change, sure hope I can get some good pics tomorrow, I just put my camera on to charge

 

This may seem like a stupid question but is there protocol for "Mini motoring"?

Meaning, are there do's and don't's, good idea/bad idea.

I haven't ever done this with cars, only with a large group of Harleys.

If we get to make it, I want to be sure not to offend or be deemed a doofus

PB

 

I can't think of any. Someone will lead the pack & we just follow. Driving 3-wide is discouraged .

Do bring a 2-way radio if you have one (if you don't someone may have a spare for you to use). We communicate while driving on them. Other than that bring your camera, your mini, & yourself, that's it

 

I read somewhere those smiley sites are full of spyware you windows people might be careful

 

I've been off line for a while and just saw this. I'm gonna try to work this out.

 

I'll be there for lunch.

 

Had a great time today (even though that evil Mr. Daylight Savings came & ate our day up too soon ). Really enjoyed it . Thanks to bzn by & jst4fun for being our fearless leaders. Petey is worn out, he is passed out majorly on the sofa

 

It's amazing how dogs can be just like children give them some fresh air and they crash for hours . We also had a great time, sure hope jst4fun got some good pics, I got a few, got a couple of you and petey in the rearview mirror .

 

Another georgous day in Alabama with good friends! It sure was nice to see our Mississippi friends come over and go on most of the trip with us. I wish you guys could have stayed for the rest of it. Cheaha Moutain was as pretty as I have seen it in years. The road was a little gravely, but the scenary made it all worth while. I have the pictures uploaded to the website. Go take a look at a really fun day shared with good friends brought together by a little fun car. http://www.bamamini.com
