Good news. Hopefully it remains open, that's always a fun little trail.

We attended last year and loved the ride. Beautiful especially when the trees were covered in ice on one road. What is the latest we can let you know?

I just spent a long day scoping out some cool spots.  

We are going to have a great time!

Bring plenty of supplies for the day.  We don't pass much.  We do pass a pair of porta potties.  Show up with a full tank of fuel.

I will air down to about 18 or 20.

2 departure points

8:30am from Dahlonega Walmart.  There is only one.

9am Wolf Pen Gap Country Store
41 Wolf Pen Gap Rd, Suches GA

I will provide meet up points for late comers or if some one gets separated.

Is the terminus still Helen for dinner?  If not, what is the likely final spot...assuming we stay with the group the entire time?

No, we will end in Hiawassee for those that go the full ride. 

Mexican restaurant there, or down to Helen for dinner.  Y'all decide. 

[DOUG]

We will have a good many pavement miles between off road stints, but they are awesome for the most part, and necessary.  I've minimized them best I can.

What's the round trip mileage? Guesstimate

[DOUG]

No round trip.  Start in Suches, and end up in Hiawassee.  I'll check the miles...

[DOUG]

From Suches to Bell on our route is 112 miles.  I rode 200+ today.

Sunset is 5:44 so we want to be on Bell by 5pm.  Leaving at 9am with 3 hours of stops (quite a few sites along the way, a store, lunch, porta potties, etc), leaves us 5 hours for 112 miles.  No problem.

No challenges.  Stock rigs will enjoy.  Good times in the woods and mountains.
