Mountain Run 3 Info

[Gunny]

The routes for MR3 are now set and shown below. The Grand Sport Registry and the ZR-1 Net Registry will be making the MR3 together this year. In anticipation of a greater number of participants, each day offers two options: a route that is approximately 5 hours driving time plus a longer route for participants wanting to maximize seat time on the mountain roads. Those who went on MR1 and/or MR2 will recognize a couple of old favorites as well as some new roads ... we hope that each day will be a fun & memorable experience for all who choose to participate.

The first day starts from Fontana Village in North Carolina and the final day ends in Bowling Green in time for the Gathering. If you are planning to go be sure to make your room reservations for MR3 as well as your BG room reservations PLUS let us know either on this thread or on the original thread. Click HERE for additional information. Complete information including maps, turn-by-turn directions, GPS coordinates, etc. will be emailed to all participants by the first of May.

Forget hoping ... just do it. The run won't be the same without you ... and bring your wife, too. She will enjoy the trip, especially Helen & Gatlinburg.

I will only come if she does. This year I'll be a driver.

Hey, the best is yet to come for me. Even though I've been on every one of these roads multiple times, I plan to drive up to the mountains (as soon as the snow & ice melts) and run the routes in the planned order so that I can confirm that my turn-by-turn directions are correct. In the past I've used Google Maps directions and, honestly, they are more confusing than they are helpful.

I wish I could come down and be your co-pilot for the certification runs!

Believe me, I would truly enjoy having a good navigator for the pre-flight runs. Looking forward to seeing you in May.
