Isle Of Wight Scooter Rally 2007 - A funny movie is a click away

Electric scooters in Nashville

Thursday AM saw the Vespa riders gathering for an early morning snack and a long ride to the Dragon's Tail.

















Generous staff from Scenic City Scooters prepare a send off breakfast for the intrepid Vespa riders.



























With a roar and the scent of two stroke perfume oil the brave crew set forth on a long journey to North Carolina.

Starting today

Friday morn saw the intrepid adventurers off to Lookout Mtn for a promised Great Adventure.








The Mountain









We arrive on the grounds of Covenant College.









Our Challange. The great tower that overlooks the Tennessee Valley. Closed to regular visitors since the 1940. But, by having friends in high places we obtained permission to venture into The Tower.









We climbed a narrow staircase.









No hesitation.









The intrepid ones (R to L, Bill, Max Mike, not pictured Bill) and their faithful Sherpa Guide (John Tracy).









One of many splendid views from the tower









Later our travels took us to the top of the Incline.












A view of Chattanooga from the Incline observation deck and of the way down to home.

Just a reminder. The meeting place for Friday's ride is at the New Scenic City Scooter location on Dayton Blvd. This is at the Memorial Drive and Dayton Blvd intersection across from the Taco Bell. See you at 7:30 AM there.

Lookout Mtn Run Friday. This ride just came into creation. It will be starting on Friday morning (July 18), at 7:30 AM from the new Scenic City Scooters Store on Dayton Blvd in trendy Red Bank If you check the route map you will notice that the ride ends at the top of Nick A Jack Road. The reason it ends is for security purposes. There will be a unique and totally unexpected event on this ride that you are likely to never again get the opportunity to experience. I know that none of you have done this before. This will be a unique, once in a lifetime thing that I only got the word of tonight (Tuesday). So if you can make it do so and be sure to bring your camera.

The ride will also explore the Mtn area and will likely include the Point Park area. No the Event does not include any of the Park. You should block out a good amount of time for, the event, sightseeing and the Park.

Let's not ask for more rain

I know that TN and surrounding states are in a drought. :(

But Fossils need to ride. This coming week looks pretty sunny. Let's try for a early morning ride.

This is close to my last Friday off, so maybe then???

Don't know where....someone  make a suggestion.
