September 16th Lake Lure and Tunnel Run

On Sunday September 16th we will have a run starting in Mount Holly then back roads to Lake Lure were we will stop for lunch. Then continue on toward Asheville onto Blue Ridge Parkway through the tunnels at Craggy Gardens and finally down Route 80 past Blind Kenny for some pictures. At the bottom of Route 80 there is an ice cream shop if anyone is interested.

Let's plan on meeting up at 10:00am at:
Bull and Barrister
3615 Mount Huntersville Rd,
Charlotte NC 28216

We will plan on leaving at 10:30am. Hope to see you there!

Jabell, can I make a suggestion? I live just down the street from B&B on Mount Holly Huntersville road. That parking lot is a PITA to get in and out of. The Walmart on the other side of 16 has a light for MHH road. Might make getting everybody out in a group easier.

I'll be there +1

Any idea what time we would be done? There is a family birthday that day. I need to know if I can make it back home in time for the party?

Jackie if you want to come for the first part of the run to Lake Lure and then split off, otherwise this one will be most of the day.

Rick no gravel I did this run on the bike it's clean.

I found a place that can provide a car sized plastic bag in the shape of a car of your choice. I have ordered one for my car, especially after that last wine run

Rick I have not posted to any other groups but everyone is welcome, I made it for Sunday so the guys at the dealership could go.

I have made this run on the bike and I can promise no dirt roads.
