TN River Gorge ride back due to popular demand

FGM says: meet tomorrow @ WaffleHouse on Hwy 58 near Hwy 153 in time to leave at 1:00PM for the 2nd annual TN River Gorge Ride. This is a very scenic ride about 30 miles down the ride and the prediction is for 60 degrees. WOW.
So hope to see you there to meet old friends and meet new ones.

The report from the FYBO rally will be posted today.

FGM says be a wimp...you'll be warmer

So there! I found these at Walmart.com. Both for under 100.00 including shipping. For 2011 I am going to one scooter rally a month. In January its :"FYBoff" in Durham NC. It's a free polar bear type rally. So I want to be warm while riding. No sense in going to a rally and not riding. If it stops raining and sleeting we'll have a ride.

Announcing the newest Achievement award

Congratulations to Doc Tracy and Lee Smith for being the first recipients of the newest Fossil achievement.
First there was the Goddess award, then the "In the Wind" award and now the latest. And its a patch!

During the "Enough Turkey and Football ride" these brave riders met a dog. The ride had been searched for dogs, potholes, and other ride interrupters Saturday but this dog was not found.
Through quick thinking, agility and good balance our brave Fossils get awarded the prize.
The dog went home with nothing.

Lee, check your mail for the patch.

In the Wind award goes to Lee smith

FGM bestows the last "In the Wind" award this year to Lee Smith. Lee is a daily rider of Deathstar his Agility. Be sure to check out his unique paintjob and the aftermarket bling. He joins the list of club members whose scoot is their daily driver.
We're glad to have this future Fossil among our riders.

BRRR it was cold but two new members braved it

We rode! It was clear but cold as we rode for about 1 hour and 30 miles through Hamilton County. I think it made 50 degrees. This has prompted me to start to make a scooter skirt.
Point of clarity: for all rides starting at Harrison Bay, we will now start at the first building as you enter the park. Mea Culpa.

Welcome new members Jim Coleman on his Sym HD 200 and Lee Smith on his Kymco Agility 125
From left to right:
->Tony Boydston, who rode his very sweet pimped out Stella. Does she have a name?
->Lee Smith, does your scoot have a name? It runs like a scalded dog.
->Bill Levy who brought Sophia his 1960 Lambretta [a gift from FGM for 35 years of happy marriage]
->Bill Tracy who rode Zippy, his buddy 125
->Dave Hawk on his new ride: Kymco like200i. It's a really sweet tomato red color. Does your scoot have a name?
-> Jim Coleman - does your scoot have a name? Jim is married to my long time friend Gayle Coleman.
-> I was taking the picture and rode my BlackJack, that shall remain nameless to keep its stealth.

WE took mostly sideroads and saw only four cars. Rides on this side of the river are usually just casual with few hills but they do have turns. Only one mishap and we ended up at my house for drinks of warmth, cookies, and nuts.

We will try for a December ride.

ENOUGH TURKEY AND FOOTBALL RIDE DETAILS

Be sure your ride has a full tank. The last gas station that has pay at pump is Kangaroo right next to the Harrison Post Office.
We will meet @ Harrison Bay State Park in the front by the register campers bldg. It is closed but there is a parking lot. Restrooms are down in the marina area. There is a gas station across from the park which will be open. You need to go inside to pay.

So we will leave @ 1:30.
The ride is 33 miles long and will take close to one hour. We ran it today and all the roads are clear. this is a nice and easy ride on country roads.

The ride will end at our house for cookies and drinks.
