Title: 4rth of July Dual Sport Weekend
Post by: klaviator on June 14, 2016, 08:11:50 AM
I'll be heading to Two Wheels of Suches for the 4rth of July Weekend for some dual sport riding in the Chattahoochee National Forest.  I'll be leaving Huntsville Saturday morning (July 2nd) and riding to Suches.  Sunday will be a dual sport day and then return home Monday.

For anyone wanting to come along, we can meet in Gurley, Scottsboro, Hammondville or possibly further East.  Or you could meet me at TWoS.  This ride should be OK for larger bikes but I highly recommend a good skid plate.   

Most likely the lodging at Two Wheels of Suches will be sold out well in advance.  I will be camping.  There are cabins and motels in the area as well. 

One reason I picked Suches, in addition to the great riding, is that the high elevation keeps it comfortable even in the heat of summer. 

Anyone interested post up and I'll coordinate meeting places and times.

Saturday will mainly be ride to TWoS and set up camp.  Not sure yet if the route will go to Cisco and then through the Cohuttas or stay paved until closer to Suches.  The main ride will be Sunday.

I'm riding over Sat and stopping at some MC dealerships along the way.

I'll be in Cabin 1 Sat and Sun night.

I have the street tires mounted so planning to stay on pavement.

I made it back home after three days of riding.  The weather in the N GA mountains was fantastic with none of the heat we have here.  I'm going to let Ken start a ride report since here started his ride a couple of days before Jeff and I.  Watch the Ride reports section. 

Just a preview:
