I haven't cancelled the room at the Lodge yet, if anyone wants it speak up. The NWS is forecasting 40-50% rain chances in north Georgia Friday, highs mid-70ºF. Modeling, of course, gets better as we get closer (high resolution models come into range at about 48 hours out). Even those rain chances are sporadic through the day (not a "wash out"). Precisely where an AeroStich RoadCrafter comes into its own! Still early to etch forecasts in stone, but the Cherohala looks like a high of 62ºF at The Divide with a 40% rain chance. That'll be chilly at speed! Sunday looks cool and clear in the entire region. The kind of air that Goozzees live for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that sometimes there is a point of diminishing returns... you, too, will be missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I am just going on record here that a SpineRaider that shows up in his truck (with tools ), but no SpineFrame , is still a SpineRaider . . . 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activpop Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 For the last 8 years my two HS buds from NY and I have made plans to hike at least two National Parks somewhere around the country during your SR weekends...usually 7-10 days. This year it is Rainier and Olympic. Next year our dates have changed. The SR is on my bucket list, and with no conflicts next year. I have a year to figure it out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I went deep into my notes and found SSR/One was July 9-11, 2004. Apparently, no photographic evidence has survived. (whew . . . There were four SpineFrames including @andy york's 2002 LeMans, a guy named "Jeff" on a LongFrame black Lemans, and someone my notes call "ballabio bill " . . . @Bill Hagan --> I left for SSR/One with 32,666 miles on mySport. Leaving for SSR XX with exactly 135,000 . . . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Days away to SSR XX . . . mySport is wiped down and battery "conditioned." All the boxes are ticked, plus a few that had to be decisively left alone.

Bill Hagan Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 All good. But I am always mindful that God doesn’t watch Weather Channel. Bill 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Anyone crossing The Appalachian Divide should know that "feels like 90º" on The Plains (of Tellico) can "feel like" the upper 40ºs on The Cherohala after a little dampness/shower/fog/cloud ceiling with wind chill at speed. FWIW, I am using the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) and other storm focused weather apps. Places like The Weather Channel™ are, IMO, entertainment focused and will show you a snowflake every chance they get. Snowflakes sell. Meteorology a dull box of cloudy uncertainty. Yet . . . The Cherohala cloud ceiling is real . . . 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiomick Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 You blokes have good weekend. If all goes according to plan, I'll be spending a Guzzi weekend here. Tents instead of cabins, not enough "facilities", but good people and a group ride on Saturday through beautiful countryside. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/854709452#map=19/50.706699/11.326726 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
