Fools Run Ride-Dual Sport
4 days-April 2 (Thursday) to April 5 (Sunday), 2015

We return to the mountains of GA and NC for early dual sport riding.  Part of the reason for traveling so far south is to minimize the likelihood of snow! Most riders probably will ride Friday and Saturday routes. 

Location: Dillard, GA.

Lodging: The Gateway Inn, (formerly The Holiday Inn Express)  http://gatewayinndillard.com/index.htm  Special room rate $84.50 per room/per night (single/double occupancy) plus applicable tax. Phone:(706) 746-3585

Event Coordinator: Galen Diehl

Routemeister: Doug Pippin

Possibly.  Doug responded to you and me per PM.  If there is an interest, then Doug indicated he would pursue.

I wish I could be there, but there are just too darned many conflicts. I'll be in church Thursday night and Sunday morning and expect to be working all day Friday and Saturday.

If you are joining us for the 2015 Fools Run Ride and would like some route ideas, send your email address to gediehl4@comcast.net and I will forward the routes.  Since there are no official routes for Fools Run Ride because it's a Just For Fun Event, these routes which have been saved over the years, are available for you to consider for your ride.  :)

I am working for several hours, then heading south and picking up Biker Bill on the way.  We plan to stop and eat some BBQ at JDs http://www.jds-smokehouse.com/ and will arrive late evening.
