The HOT RUCKIN DRAGON is on.

We're going to be focusing on the Southern Side of the Smokies this year.

The Dragon both ways on Friday and Saturday. Breakfast at Deal's Gap both days.

Thursday is going to be one of the River Road rides at around 3pm. Sunday is breakfast at Bennett's BBQ in Gatlinburg.

Kitty is going to have family-friendly events planned for the non-riders.

Contact Sharron and tell her you're with the Ruckus Rally for the discounted rate.

BBQ grills are available and we could definitely make hot-dogs to save money.

I've made a basic map of the routes with gas stations marked:

sweet.. thanks rubik for setting this up.. i will call sharon tomorrow to book my room.. cant wait..



EDIT.. i made that bigger to stand out.. lol..

I posted here earlier saying I was down for this and now my post is gone. WTF!!! I hope no one deleted it. That would not be cool.

IN

i didnt use my mod powers to del your post lol.. actually i didnt see any other posts..

Apers1 -- I think your post was in the Fall Ride thread. LOL

You and I need to hook-up in the next month or so. I have trouble maintaining little Ruck speed.

I'd like to do some timing runs with a little Ruck on the routes.

I get a little spoiled on the Big Rockus. The entire weekend of riding I can do on my Big Rockus in one day.

We are only going to average about 20 MPH (adding the stops). The Cherholah route is 180 Miles round trip.

That's 9 hours of riding. 7:30am - 6:00pm is our goal.

I'm going to bring a little gas can, but Little Rucks that get less than 60 MPG will need to fill up at almost every gas station.

My plan is to have everyone "worn-out" at night, so we don't all stay up drinking until 3am -- LOL We did good at the last Fall Ride.

Oops, my bad. I thought I put the post here. Yeah, man, let me know whenever you wanna do the test runs. Can't do it this week, though. Got fam in and alot going on with my daughters graduation. I'm not even sure what my milage is for sure. Will be good to find out.

Anyone have a problem getting the discount rate for the summer ride?

I called today and the woman I spoke with was clueless...quoted me some rediculous peak season numbers...lol...but it wasn't Sharron.

subscribed.... very interested in going just gotta get work off and get some people to go with me

DOH.. wtf.. let me know what u find out.. been busy as hell at work lately i havent got a chance to call yet

Probably talked to Nadine (Sharron's Cousin)...not always fully aware of "everything".....

I know the rates are valid. I spoke directly with Sharron myself.

I'll likely see Sharron sometime this weekend as well, and make sure to get the word out.

give me heads up when u do so i can call in..

also i officially state this thread is a

NO HISTORY LESSON THREAD..

I posted Two Ride Suggestions in the FALL RUCKUS RIDE Thread that would be good for this Summer Event also. The Hwy 32 Ride past Cosby is Great, and Shady and Cooler.....check em' out....
