ATL to Dahlonega: two hours.
Dahlonega to Suches: one hour.
Suches (T.W.O.) to the Crossroads of Time: two hours.
Up the Dragon: 30 mins.
Down the Dragon: 30 mins.
Throw in an hour for lunch at T.W.O, or that great fish restaurant that overhangs the river, the name of which I can never remember, and a couple of 20 min. breaks for smokes and gas, hey, guess what...you just rode for 12 hours. Home in time for bike night at the Vortex, the chance to show off all your new bugs!
Now, I wouldn't call it an adventure, as I've done it a dozen times. But its easily twelve hours, and it sure is fun. Course, I owned an 1150GS Adv. at the time. Now, I'm bikeless. Alms for the poor, anyone?
I'd be happy to squeeze my 6'2" self onto a CityX, even. How abouta leftover Z-Rex. Hello? Guys? It's dark in here...guys?
