Edit: Sunday 10/19 - I will unfortunately not be able to make this run next Saturday. However, I ran the same route today, and it was just awesome. Fall colors are here.

You can find the route at MapMyRide.com

I tried to add notes at each of the major turns, but the app ended up deleting the route. I might try it again later this week. In any event, click on the "Description" linkand there are a few route instructions.

I can also povide a Garmin .tcx file for those that can import them to your Garmin device.

************************
Airgate -- see the starter post quoted above. I'd really like to do this and I know that Brunodkid99 has plans to fly it solo (actually with his +1) in his CR. So he could use a wingman. Wingman? Oh, hell, he's in VA.

Sorry I cannot make it -- it is unavoidable. But the weather f/c is 50% chance of rain. If so, we'll find another date.

I'm only planning to fly solo, because there is not enough interest in this drive. Since it's only time that I will probably be in Greenville, SC, I'm not missing the drive up to Casear's Head and the other drive that Yflyer had posted rain or shine.

I'll catch the SC S2K gang next time.
