As to the smile - Well, first of all, I enjoy running with someone - anyone! But he was a jerk, I waited for him at the pullover at the top, but he just floored it and ran off.

And like I said, I really need to get to a course and wish I'd not missed out on North Carolina now.




I DID have a good run on GA60 (which is a DONT MISS if you come up this way, Coyote!) As Bill from GenCoupes said, there are TWO ways over Blood Mountain and in a way - 60 is better, but 129 has two lanes so you dont get slowed down nearly as much. Take a look at the map, 129, 60 and 180 make a loop - but 60 as it runs northwest from that loop is a 33 mile long stretch of curves.

My group will be taking 60 our of Dahlonega this October to Mineral Bluff, then on to the Dragon. I like 129, but 60 is better and the fun lasts a LOT longer.
