Possible ATL Meet and Drive

Three Pedal Steve · 04-06-2016, 11:05 PM

If there are concerns about gravel road, we can re-route easy enough.

wavingflags · 04-07-2016, 08:34 AM

I'd love to join. Weekends would work best for me, but I'll try to make it regardless.

For the ones concerned about dings/gravel... I would avoid 129 and wolf pen if these are roads you hit. Never had a problem running it solo but behind a friend's Cayman S on PSS's my windshield/front bumper/hood will never be the same lol

This afternoon I ran that gravel section of Rich Gap and indeed found two wash outs that will preclude M3's. So the route will not include that five mile loop. There are plenty of beautifully paved and banked roads in western NC for us to enjoy. No need to go off-roading.

A weekday will be better for traffic but not for working blokes.

I am in, would love to do something like this. What about Suches loop?

Where / What is Suches Loop?

Sunny D · 04-08-2016, 11:33 AM

The best drive I have found close to ATL by a long shot. It is a "little dragon" type of road. See here - http://www.motorcycleroads.com/75/17...ches-Loop.html

Is this still happening?

com 93- Since you started this thread, it is up to you to pick a place and time.

It looks like you have twelve (!!) M3's owners interested in an outing. If you can make this happen, I want in- even I have to drive half way across Ga. to a meet-up point.

Let's do this!

June 4th or 18th work for me, if weekend is better for the majority.

As far as routes, I'm liking Suches Loop.

Maybe something around 10AM?....as far as where to meet, I don't know the area so I would need someone to help me there.

Three Pedal Steve · 04-09-2016, 10:32 PM

Both June 4th and 18th look good for me.

From the map provided by Sunny D, Dahlonega is at the end of Ga.400 and the starting point of the Suches Loop. I know there is a big public square right in the middle of Dahlonega- might be a meet-up spot. But some of the Atlanta based members might want to group up closer in.

That Public Square would probably work pretty well...

wavingflags · 04-11-2016, 09:12 AM

June 4th works for me. There is a CCA event at Roebling Road on the 18th

Danny_K · 04-11-2016, 09:49 AM

Anyone want to meet up this saturday or sunday morning? Probably meet permieter area around 730-8am.

Crazy people NOT welcome.

Oh really? In that case, June 4th sounds better so I can come to the event. I just joined Peachtree CCA.

Nice! I'm on there as well, there are a bunch of meet and greets on the schedule. Look forward to meeting you there.

I head up from ATL through Suches a couple times a week. Good road.
