Andy, it was great meeting you and SRQfun! Sadly, the clouds cleard and sun came out while we were in Seiverville around 5pm. Came home down the Parkway and Dragon, got to the lodge at sundown, Jason let thru the Dragon and Hellbender - had some fun, but some slow ones dampened the fun, but it was fun while it lasted.
Must be about 18-20 of us left here, all but about 5 of us will leave by 10am, and the last four of us will leave by 3-4pm.
Jane visited the biker injured on the Skyway saturday at the hospital in Asheville. He is expected to make a long, rough recovery. She can provide more detail, but the good news is that he will probably be fine in a great deal of time. She said the EMT with the Gencoupes made all the difference. (Jane and Lovecraft of the Gens (a doctor with the Gens) attended to the victim with the assistance of an EMT who was running with the Gens.
Both car clubs (between that and the two Harleys we helped) made a difference this weekend!
I see "Chasing Gary" already has 44 views!
... and I think Gary is more proud of that video than I am, he says there just aren't any videos of him.
There is now! When I got back to the lodge, I was asked how fast we went - I could not answer, had to watch the video, I was too busy trying to keep up with Gary!!!!
Too bad I didn't think to turn the camera on until a few miles from the end, we'd stopped at the Gap and left our newbs to shop and look around. I KNEW he was gonna take off, so I jumped in the car and it was on.
SRQFun kept up for about two miles, but Gary and I got a rhythm going and we were off.
Sounds like we have several first-timers that are gonna be back !!!
