Mountainia ride-2-Q

Sounds like fun, I'm still waiting on the Georgians finalising the March dates for a Saddlesore run, just been to the website and there's no new postings.
Are we talking "Tomato -based" barbecue sauce or the nasty stuff??
Cheers,
"The other Ian" :drink :drink
 
I'm in as well. Still trying to find a good BBQ place since relocating to Upstate, SC.

Hell, I'm still trying to learn where all the good roads are, too.

there is something wrong with this map....

except for murphy, they ain't got no bbq joints in mountainia ... just in points *east* of mountainia.

what's up with that?????

well, here are some thoughts for the assembled group to consider.

- for those that wish to camp on a saturday night, meet up somewhere mid-morning on saturday to set up camp and then head for q.

- for those who don't want to camp, either meet us at camp and ride to q or meet us for lunch.

- after lunch, ride.

- q for dinner.

- get up sunday morning, break camp, ride to a lunch spot for q.

- head home.

sound like the rough outlines for a plan?

late march or early april-ish.

i *think* that our saddlesore run is going to be in november, in conjunction with the shrimp boil.

hey "other" ian -

more likely than not, it will be western-NC-style q which is a tomato-based sauce added to something with vinegar and whatever spices the chef deems suitable.

personally, i like south carolina-style, but too many people say "gakkk" when that is mentioned.

Don't know I thought the same thing. I'm working on a file for Mapsource with some locations marked


late march or early april-ish.

There are two GNCC races in that time frame. March 21-22 Steele Creek GNCC in Morganton NC and April 4-5 in the Big Buck GNCC in Union SC which we go to every year.

wade - this is a bmw mc owners of georgia annual event, at our november club meeting. someone usually rides over to beaufort, sc and buys some shrimp offa da boat and brings it to the meeting.

it's at high falls state park, on november 8.

our boiler is pretty darn good, but i don't think we'd mind a few guests...

Im in, let me know how many usually attend and I can make either a big pot of Gumbo or Jambalaya

so here's what i am thinking.

in deference to scbmwrider, and acknowledging that it can still be danged cold in march, let's shoot for april 18-19

the thought is to meet at a campground for a late saturday morning departure to a bbq spot for lunch... then a ride... then bbq for dinner, then camp.

i'm thinking high country cycle camp... i haven't been there in a long time!

is it possible for folks to get there before noon?

the other alternative is a spot i know near hot springs.

Like the date. Haven't been to high country yet and have wanted to go. WIll they be open in April??

Should be about a 3 hr ride for us...Need to pick out some places to eat.

Check out this article Washington Post
 
Ok did some research and visited the North Carolina BBQ Society and this is what I have put together. If all agree I will plan the trip and mark out some incredible roads for our travels.


Leave Saturday Morning from the Mooresville Area around 9am ish.

Head West through Shelby, Lake Lure into Arden for our lunch stop at
12Bones BBQ

We leave Arden and travel south to HWY 64 through the Highlands and into Cherokkee ending up in Murphy NC about a 3-4 hour ride to Herb's Pit BBQ

we spend the night in Cherokkee,

Leave Sunday morning out of Cherokkee through the north west portion of the state BLP and some other great roads we head 240 miles east to Mocksville for lunch at Deano's BBQ after that we head home.


I will contact each establishment and let them know we are coming and hopefully they will have some special accomodations for us.

So what do you think
