    This is true, but they told us that their max capacity for camping was 50. We think we can get it to 75 without them raising a stink. They've never sold out because there's just not a lot of people that choose to camp at the venue. We are hoping to get between 100-150 guys there but really don't know if it's going to be 40 or 200. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.

I hit fumes many times and ran out once, before I learned to just ride the clutch on down hills feathering brakes to save gas, I saw a few dudes pushing up hill last year after being out of gas and all I could do was shake my head... no stations up top just in the valleys.
      Good info- I just moved to Murphy NC, about 30 miles or so from the gap and I would love to make the trip but my scoot isn't ready- Maybe for the QCB Bash in August...

            Park, when are you leaving? It'd take me about 4 hours to get from Savannah to Athens.

              The weather looks good, if a little cool. Cold weather makes it easy to pack, just put everything on!

                          Yeah, that looks good. Hope it's nice on the 600 mile ride from here to there!

                            Thanks for the weather report Park, fingers crossed. It's on either way, but if we get a couple sunny days of riding in, it is going to be glorious!

                            See you kooks there.
