North GA Mtn Run - Spring '05

So here's the deal

Saturday April 9th
7:30am
Barnes & Noble Parking Lot(starbucks)
Mansell Rd just East of GA400

The full drive will be about 4-5 hrs but there are plenty of places along the way for you to break off if you can't make it the entire time.

All makes & models of Porsches welcome! Let's beat last fall where we had over 35 cars

Yes! I've been wanting to do one of these. Hopefully I won't be busy on the 9th.

I wish! Dragon's Tail would be atleast 4 hrs one way! This is just some very spirited AND considerate driving through the treacherous GA Mtns

Yeah I know. Someone from the last run said he was going to organize a run up there this spring. Mabie after this one. I have also heard Dragon's Tail called Twelve Mile of Smiles.

180 is as good as the dragons tail but a lot closer. 129, 60, 180, and Cherohala Skyway all blow away the dragons tail in my opinion. I have been riding bikes and making movies up in these mtns for years now. I was up there the other day. I was cornering so hard, my windshield washer resevior low light was coming on.

I'm in.

well, we meet at 7:30 and allow an extra 15 minutes for stragglers. That gets us on the road by 7:50. And figure 30 minutes until we reach the mtns. Any later then we run into the RV's, bicyclists, and sightseers clogging up the roads - pretty boring then.
