The first 800 is easy (if boring) That last 6 miles through the stopped traffic with everybody redlining their straight-piped Harleys & clones is the killer. ;-) -- Michael J.

Fun = no interstates! I retired last month, so I have the time. :-) If the weather forecast is good, I will take the BRP as far as Boone, NC; otherwise I'll stay closer to sea level for the whole trip down.

Cc: Dc-Cycles I took a day and a half last time I went. OK, that's the only time I've gone to Daytoner. And that trip will probably suffice for a good long time. I took the VFR, left DC about noon, planning on taking the "scenic" route through the Carolinas, i.e., not 95. It was fine until I hit the SC state line, and the heavy rains came. And the dark. And the cold. By the time I got to Charleston, I bagged it for the night. One of those no-tell motels that lets you park in the breezeway right outside your door. Bike's under cover. (Hey, better treatment than it gets at home!) I draw the line at the skanky places in sketchy neighborhoods where you want to put the bike _inside_ the room. Any way, the second day was great. Clear and warm for the trip down the coast and noodling arond St. Simon's Island, etc. I slabbed around Jax, right into a horrible traffic jam. Musta been all the trailers. Picked up A1A just south of St. Augustine for a beautiful ride along the beach into Daytona. On the return, I left before dawn and slabbed it back, on account having to be at the salt mine bright and early the next day. Absolutely poured all the way across Florida and Georgia. I've never been so happy to see a Waffle House, near Brunswick, Ga. Weather was super-crappy (rain) that year for most of Bike Week. On top of that, I picked up some sort of flu bug. The second day of the trip down was the best part. On 2/9/06, LindaT. wrote: > No, no, Aki, you've got it wrong.

Hmm...but if I rolled around in the dirt, it would dirty my ironed jeans with the crease down the center and gawd forbid dirty up my gen-u-wine HD belt buckle with the hidden compartment for my Starbucks coupons. *sigh*..I guess I'm never going to fit in. ;-) -aki _ _ _ _ .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-.
