If I can I'm in. Last time we tried to do this run the weather didn't cooperate so it's still on my bucket list.

Glen McCartney

I registered and booked hotel in Banner Elk.

Would be up for meeting in Waynesboro. Last time I went down, met up with Kevin and others there but we went down 81 to 77 and stopped in Fancy Gap, which has a great deli for lunch.

Then we took BRP from Fancy Gap to Banner Elk. It's frustrating doing the BRP from MM1, I liked it better doing the leg from Fancy Gap to Banner Elk on BRP.

I may be heading down earlier in the week, maybe Monday or Tuesday to get some golf in.

Will check this thread to see what pans out.

M. Requin

I'll be there- registered and reserved!

In 2014 we ran the BRP from MM1 and we literally had no traffic until we hit fancy gap. Hopefully the same happens this year. Fingers crossed.

As always :-)

If I remember correctly, we lunch at "The Gap Deli at the Parkway"

... And that ride from Fancy Gap to Banner Elk was the best ride ever in my 928!

Beautiful road and scenery. No traffic at all and great weather.
Thanks guys for that perfect day.
The best way to start a SITM weekend!

Alex G will be joining us in his cream puff 78. Posting for him since he's not on Rennlist.

M. Requin

Looking good! And that 2014 ride was amazing with so little traffic and beautiful weather. I'm all for the Fancy Gap stop, too.

Teaser for US 33 for the final leg of Thursday.

I am hoping to go, I think I have the bugs out of the old girl now. Time will tell, if the car is working good I sure hope my schedule will allow it!

Adamant1971

Just do it.

I live 45 minutes away from the the top of fancy gap. I will try to join in on the leg from there to Banner Elk.
I have never went that way on the BRP. Sounds like fun.

I'm very interested in joining the group from Toronto. I have wanted to go to SITM for several years so looking forward to going for first time this year. I live in Woodstock Ontario but would meet up on the US side of the border.
