October Chapter Ride

0
0

Good Evening Everyone,

Apparently there is some confusion about the October Chapter Ride. Back during the planning session for this years schedule, the group decided that since we would be riding to the Cherohala Skyway to see the leaves that October would have to be different in two ways from every other month. First the ride would not be on the second Saturday of the month and secondly it would be scheduled with a back up date. Our experience over the last 3 years is that we’ve always gone to early. So we opted to schedule this years ride on the 3rd Saturday of the month, with the 4th Saturday being the alternate date.
After looking at photos and video I have from the last 3 years and doing some reading on the internet, I feel that going the 3rd Saturday would even be to early. From what I’ve been able to see and read, colors below 4,000 ft won’t start changing until 3rd week in October and has stretched as long as mid November. The best photos we have were taken either the last weekend in October or the first weekend in November.
With this I am recommending that we plan on doing the October Chapter Ride on Saturday, October 25th. We will meet at the Race Track gas stations, just north of exit 24 on I-985 at 8:00 am with KSU at 8:15. This will be a very long day and the plan at this point is to ride to the Cherohala from the Robbinsville side, ride over it to Tellico Plaines TN, grab lunch then head home. FYI, from the meeting point back to the meeting point is 275 miles so be prepared for a long day.
I will be posting this on FB, so please visit our page and let us know your attendance plans.

Thanks Everyone,
Hope to see everyone on the 25th.
Pete
