Twentieth (XX!) South'n Spine Raid 2024


Admin Jaap

Recommended Posts

Now back to our regularly scheduled program: SSR XX

I will reach out to the new innkeeper at The Lodge at Tellico in a couple days (five weeks out) to ask about room availability.

As always, thank you to those who are watching current, local road issues.

                                                   Team SSR !

Get There.

Bring Tools.

:race:   :luigi:

Just checked. Return ticket to Nashville is about € 800,-
Doable

 

Just checked my finances. Sadly not doable anymore -_- In spite of all your incentives, I just can't justify spending the money and taking the time off from work and local politics.

I find it an absolute honor that you would give so much consideration to coming, :notworthy: @Admin Jaap!

Perhaps for the Twenty-first . . . SSR XXI . . .

Truly best regards, Jaap, from all of us. And thank you, again, for this delightful and important playground you have created for us! :mg:

Successful  "BikeWash" (154 mile shakedown ride) today.

Today was mySport's 24th anniversary, so extra-special. :mg:

On the lift, now, for tires and brakes and such . . . :luigi:

I suppose I could buy @Tom in Virginia's V11 to bring a Spiner to the XX'th, but, even now with "only" three Guzzis, I can't keep up with DMV bureaucracy and maintenance, etc., much less ride them as much as these sweet beasts deserve.

But I can at least get the V85 ready for the run down to Tennessee.  And, you'll be seeing double as first-time-Raider @AJ Howard will be on his Oreo Guard, too.  He and his on the left in this pic of a ferry ride across the Ohio River in May.

We're taking two days, with an RON as usual at Princeton, W.V.

Kathi :wub: will drive the "support van," which means she'll also get to control my road food.  Sigh.  Life's full of tradeoffs. ;)

In the meantime, my Guardia is on the lift for its conveniently timed 12.4K service.

Honorable mention to the Aprilia "Katzenjammer" custom, and Josh, its rider/builder.

Ken (The Lodge at Tellico) tells me there are three open rooms at this time.

Someone asked me about the TechSession plan.  :ph34r:  <_<

After all this time, we can trust that one of our V11 (or some other Guzzi) has a TechSession planned for us, already.

Hence our motto:

 Get There.

Bring Tools.

It's a sort of play on words with "Y'all come, now! Ya hear ?"

Along with the Slimey Crud Café Racer Run®™ approach to routes and riding:

"No specific route is prescribed, so the best way to go depends entirely on your imagination ."

Plus: don't forget the tools! :luigi:  :drink:
