Blue Ridge Beemers

Some Twin Valley Riders may show up, like before when they outnumbered the BRB's. A ride to Schuyler has been suggested on their forum (www.twinvalleyriders.com), which seems to head in the right direction. There is also The Blessing of the Bikes at Burke's Garden that Sunday for a lengthier ride (h...

Meet Sunday, May 7 at the Otter Creek Restaurant on the Blue Ridge Parkway (Milepost 60.8 just north of the James River Visitor Center at US 501). This has been a popular spot in the past.

Eat at 9:00 AM
Ride at 10:00 AM (anybody got a route?)

Well, we've made it there for breakfast at 9:00 AM before, so why not again. I'll post a note under EVENTS and also let the TwinValley Riders know about it.

Mile Post 60.8 -- that's almost an hour from Afton! Should the meeting be for brunch.

Where we gonna meet? May First Sunday is the 7th, when some of us regulars will be at the Georgia Mountain Rally having pancakes at the fundraiser. Somebody who will be around here should pick a breakfast spot. For a ride after breakfast suggestopm, Highland County was looking particularly good last...

No organized ride is planned, but if you want to meet to ride to Farmville, post a note on CHAT...

I wondered why we headed up SR 664 instead of continueing to VA 56. From Greenwood, Butch led us up SR 810 to US 33 where the group split again, with Butch and me heading over Swift Run Gap where we caught up with traffic backed up following one of Coors new brewing tanks down the mountain. We kille...

Easter on the Blue Ridge is the BRB's big annual event. Not necessarily a group ride. Pick you own route and pace to meet at Willville (and lunch). Prime MC-only camping at Willville: http://www.willvillebikecamp.com/

The good weather brought out 15 of us to brunch at Stoney Creek B&G. The consensus at breakfast was to return to Farmville for brunch at Charley's Waterside Cafe in April. Should we give the Twin Valley Riders another opportunity to meet up with us?

We'll meet Sunday, March 5 at 10:00 AM for brunch at Stoney Creek Bar and Grill at the Stoney Creek Golf Course on VA 151 just north of Nellysford in Nelson County. No ride route planned yet, so bring your suggestions.
