I don't want anyone to be or feel "cheated" but seriously,because of TWO's set-up,I think that it is just better to have it for the entire time. As far as riding for 2 hours before the Gap that not a deal breaker for me. We could ride up,get a snack/meal and then ride for a few hours,I mean how many times do you want to go up and down the Dragon in one day? I'm no expert on the area but I am well aware that there are outstanding roads throughout that area and between TWO and the Gap. Heck,leave TWO in the morning,get a snack around the Gap,ride the Dragon a few times,take the long way back to TWO, Spend the last night,wake up Mon and head for home.

No way am I doing all that then riding 14 hrs home from the gap

From earlier discussion I think the general consensus who wanted to ride the Gap was to ride it Monday. Less traffic, cops, etc.

I don't mind getting up early at TWO to go ride the Gap, find somewhere to stay Monday night and head home Tuesday.

Like Tommy, some of us are several hours away from home. Finding a place to stay Monday night is something else to consider...

Hmmm... I guess. I'll go along with the crowd on this one. I want to do the entire rally but I don't care if we hit the Gap or not to tell the truth. If we can get accommodations close to Deal's then that's cool with me. I just want the details to be hashed out and let's get 'er done!

I'm working on that.

I guess I'm just trying to make sure everyone is pleased with the lodging before I make the reservations.

180 to 17 to 76 to warwoman up 28 into franklin. We can also take 64 on the way back.

I am not too particular on where or what we do, I just want to get the most out of it given all the miles I am traveling. I have ridden the gap before, if we do again it will be good and if not and we do something else that will work too.

I haven't ridden the Gap, but it's really no big deal if I don't get to this time either. I'm sure I'll be able to hit it up on another trip.

shit, you need to ride the gap if you are coming this close. Yall should just get rooms at DGMR for sunday night. It's pretty cheap if you split it. 4 people can stay in one room, but 2 have to sleep together.

Oops...I said Mon,because that is my original plan but I thought we were thinking of keeping TWO;Fri,Sat,Sun,Mon so no one would have to leave until Tues....sorry. Or are we getting it ;Thurs afternoon-Mon checkout?

Checking in Thursday and leaving Monday.

Alot of talk was made about leaving early Monday and riding the Gap then. Someone else suggested maybe heading towards the Gap Sunday staying somewhere closer to ride it Monday.

In all honesty, either way it doesn't matter to me. I'm just along for the ride... I just know that before I head home, I'll need to find somewhere to stay. I'm not riding Deal's Gap Monday and trying to make a 9-10 hour ride back the same day.
