That is a really nice run. I done it several years ago. I may have to do it again this year.

Or you can start from were ever you want when ever you want.
Most folks make the run north to Chattanooga, tie up eat lunch etc.
If the weather is good the run through the canyon is hard to beat.
Hope you can make it.

Can anyone comment on how far the sand bar is from the ramp? I've read there's no gas on the way to Chattanooga, correct? And 87 only? Thanks.

Correct, there is only 87 in Chattanooga. The ride to Chattanooga is about 80 miles round trip so to the sand bar would be maybe 5-10 less

Oh, ok. So the sand bar is close to Chattanooga. Guess I'll need to carry some gas. Thanks.

Hope to ride with you soon Dennis, its been too long!

What time are we leaving on Thursday? EST. Or CST?

**Chummy** · 10-10-2018, 05:34 PM

What is the name of the restaurant on Lake Guntersville?

This was such a great group of rides. The weather was perfect, (a bit of wind, but could have been much worse), great people, and a lot of boats. I am looking forward to doing it again next year for sure. These are a few that I took with my phone.
