I realize this is not a GFC-hosted event.  Regardless, anyone planning on attending?

Unless something happens, I attend every year. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Anyone else planning to attend?  Richard Chen said he'd come along.

I think this will be Richard's first time at any function other than meetings and workshops on meeting days.  He will be riding with me and not driving, but at least he will be there.

Richard called and said his boss scheduled him to work Saturday because of the Christmas Holiday. 

Please check the start time on the PDF Flyer.  It's starting earlier this year than what I remember in past years.  Maybe due to the distance.  They suggest being there at 8:00.

I guess I could do better:


Too bad Richard won't be able to make it.

I was really hoping to do this one. Sadly I won't have the car ready by any stretch.

Want to ride along with me?  Richard isn't going so I've got a vacancy.

I was just looking at a possible route for the Polar Bear Run.  I suspect they may just use Ga. Hwy 136 all the way to Cloudland Canyon.  If they do, it will be a nice uncluttered ride, staying out of the larger towns.
