Weather looks to be getting better. The forecast temps for Asheville this weekend are upper 60's for highs and upper 40's for lows. Cruso will be a little cooler seeing how it is 1000ft higher.
The bike will be at the meltdown, not sure if they will make it to Cruso. By the way it is a '74 3 1/2!
nice! I rode the 3 1/2 sport on the track once... Frank Bott should have some pics he took of mine at his his booth - really bummed I am not making it again
Seems like about every other bike trip I have a minor medical issue usually involving blood loss or some other inconvenience within 24 hours before departure. Got it out of the way first thing this morning. While pulling a plant out from between fronds of a bayonet plant, I let one of the spikes barely stick my forearm. It also barely stuck in a large vein causing a rather large inclusion to pop up within seconds and a jet of veinous blood to squirt out the tiny hole in the skin. At first glance I thought it was arterial, but then noticed the color and the fact it was only one squirt from the inclusion. Whew! Glad that's out of the way now and I can finish final preparations presumably without further incident.
hardwaregrrlAnybody riding off road on Saturday? Not gonna be able to get there till late morning.[/QUOTE] How long is the road you mentioned ? It looks to be across I 40 beyond the camp. I will probably ride up and back Sat. I can decide whether to ride the Guzzi or the GS with a time frame.
He couldn't see the bush because of his current facial hair configuration would be my guess (which explains a lot of his pre-rally injuries)...one day he's going to suck his face into a final drive...
