Putting the T's in Twisties

The rally is open to club members and their guests. Your friends will certainly be welcome to attend. And when they see how much fun we have...maybe they'll come on over :) . I'll be there and I hope to see you and your friends there too! :thumb

Nice maps in January ON for day rides from Johnson City. Are they on the site or can they be posted for printing ?

[URL="http://www.bmwmoa.org/news/general_interest/the_rally_putting_the_ts_in_twisties"]the article is here, including the maps and the GPS routes.[/URL]

the graphics are very large, so you should be able to copy and print them with good results.

however, they don't have much of the detail (some of the roads are really small!), so you're best off using the GPS routes with some mapping software.

Thanks much

i'm having problems opening the gps of the '09 rally. i have a garmin but having problems opening and transfering the info to it.

what garmin do you have?

[QUOTE=Greenwald;418705]Nice job, [B]IAN[/B], with your [B][I]ON[/I][/B] article about the 'twisties!'

I recall last year's snacking at a nice river-side restaurant (on your right) as you enter Tellico Plains along the [I]Cherohala[/I], and the challenge of flawless runs on the [I]'Dragon'[/I] in both directions.

Can't wait![/QUOTE]

I know that place! Had a nice breakfast there as the wife and I watched the sun come up before heading home from the ROK rally when it was held near there.

Why isn't thread a sitcky???

It's mentioned in the MOA. Might be a good idea to link the GPS files to the Rally page.

:nod

the info was on the site's home page for a few days, fwiw.

Thanks Ian,
Looks like many of us, including myself, could use a GPS clinic.
I'm running a NavIII and don't have too much trouble loading files via Mapsource.
Now if I could only get that voice to speak to me again, most curiously silent she is.
(What'd I do!?)

I just might do lunch there again this year, after earning my [B][I]'Dragon Wings'[/I][/B] once more.:thumb

I understand the May ON is going to have some interesting rides detailed for the Rally if you like twisties.

Ya, I remember seeing it, then could not find it again. Just thought it would make sense to have it more readily available as it relates directly to the article on the rally and area in general.
