Swapping everything from the TH in the relentless rain we’ve had most of the day was a pain. It’s done finally. Also don’t tell your wife your gonna go throw stuff in the truck. I found out it had to be organized 🤣🤣🤣

Got about everything but the Talon loaded up. Wife should be home by 4 tommorow and we'll head that way. Looking forward to hanging out and seeing you assholes, even if we don't get to put down as many miles as I'd hoped. I'm pretty content with hanging out at El Reys and having margaritas. Maybe they won't cut Terri off this time after 2.

This sucks, but I have decided to hold off until I can see this storm develop further.
That means don't look for me at the MOM.
We already canceled out overland because camping in sideways rain is not too fun.

I'm still considering early Saturday morning, but I need to wait on that decision.

If you haven't seen it, this is going to be fairly bad for this whole area.
I highly suggest yall check the weather.

Saturday morning, however, is looking to clear up fast.

High wind advisory issued for this immediate area for Thursday evening through Friday 30 MPH winds, 50 MPH gusts with 2"-3" of rain. Definitely will be sideways rain. A note about the trees here, many large trees are shallow roots into rock base, just the rain is enough to fell them here, not to mention add in wind gusts with a rain soaked terrain. Be mindful of not getting under these trees to much when windy & rainy.

I'm all good for a Friday ride, should be a good time to see waterfalls if the wind doesn't make it dangerous.

We were just talking about knowing where to find you and the Mrs ... El Reys!

I know the area is limited on eating choices. Besides the Mexican Restaurant, down on I75 Exit 122 is The Gondolier in front of Clinton Walmart great food Italian and American serves alcohol.

Just past Huntsville towards Onieda on US27 is ReaZacks Restaurant (Helenwood TN) but only open 7AM- 8PM TH & FR, closed SA/SU/MO

The wife and I eat at both places weekly and food is great.

All you early arrivals have had 2 great days to ride albeit some rain. I imagine today the brave souls who followed @TripleB will definitely find some Mayhem on the Mountains today.

Tomorrow (Friday) will definitely be known as Monsoon Mayhem on the Mountain.

Hopefully the winds don't make things hazardous. It will not get easier from here, the only easy day was yesterday 😁

This is what I imagine 😆

Got here about 11:45. I miss my camper but the cabin is pretty good. I was impressed. I’m fixing to go see what the Pavilion looks like up close for Saturday. I hope everyone is having fun
