11/13/2011 - Blue Ridge Ride (GA)

Post by maddiedog »

I'm joining a whole bunch of riders from Terminal Scooter Club for a ride up in the mountains of GA.
Join us for a ride in the mountains!
Sunday, November 13th
Join the crew of Vespa Marietta as we take a ride into the mountains to view the beautiful Fall scenery. We will lead a group ride from the store and meet up with the larger bikes or those who wish to trailer their scooters to Dahlonega. From there, we will have a local guide take us on a beautiful route through the mountains. We'll take a pit stop for a nice lunch in Helen by the river before we head back home.

We hope you'll join us!

It was a great ride, but you didn't miss too much. The mountains here were pretty, but nothing like what you have up in TN.
