Anyone interested in rescheduling the Trial Run for May 16?

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I will be leaving the Chevron station at the end of Georgia 400 at Hwy 60 in Dahlonega, by 9am on Saturday the 16th.  If anyone wants to help with the scouting run, be there and have your tank filled, ready to leave by 9AM.  Bring your FRS radio if you have one. 

If that's out of your way, meet me at The Helendorf Inn in Helen, Ga. and be ready to leave by 10AM.  The scouting run is on, rain or shine.  Cancelled if we're having floods.

Greg was planning to go last month, but I don't know if he's aware of Saturday's reschedule.  My phone wiped out all my contacts and I'm not sure the email I have for him is correct.  He hasn't replied to any inquiries.

Scott said he may go if he finishes a remodeling job he's working on.

If you don't get the Fiero ready, then bring something else.  We've had all manner of vehicles running with us

Welcome to Georgia Fieros.

Yesterday Fierofool and I ran one of the proposed routs. Since it was just us, I rode as a passenger, and sometimes navigator, in his car. I got to experience first hand how he runs the Dragon. It was fun!

For the most part, we took it easy.  As we left Robbinsville headed up to The Dragon, we picked up a Corvette and behind it was a 350Z Nissan.  As we passed the Dragon's Head, then we all took off.  First thing we encounter as we entered The Dragon was a State Trooper parked back in the edge of the woods.  But he didn't wake up. 

We had a lot of fun toying with the Corvette and 350Z.  Or maybe they were toying with us?  Anyhow, we three had it all to ourselves until we encountered a traffic jam.  Dead stopped.  Unfortunately, it was due to an accident.  We turned around and asked some BMW'ers if there was an accident and they nodded yes, with a very solemn face.  Tons of BMW ricers with big tilted wheels in the rear, all the way from Helen to the Dragon and back.  I think the accident may have been one of theirs. 

It was a nice day for the drive and good to have someone ride along.  The only downside of the trip was that I never got Pat to scream or tell me to slow down.

With just over a month left to make reservations, we were down to two rooms left out of what we had blocked.  I just added 5 more, so as of a few minutes ago at 11:15am there are 7 rooms still available.

I just checked and we still have 7 rooms that haven't been taken.  July 30 is the deadline.

HNThomps reported that when he tried to make reservations, he was told that they had released our block of rooms on July 1.  If you encounter the same response when making reservations, advise them of the following information.

Below is some paraphrased information provided by the Helendorf Inn.  See the 5th line, then ask for Catherine.


*They have a variety of rooms blocked for our group for September 18 & 19, 2015.
*These are based on a 2 night minimum stay.
*Each guest may call to make their own reservation as part of our block.
*A deposit in the amount of 1 night is required to guarantee each reservation.
*After July 30, 2015, they will release any of the room block that have not been individually reserved.
*Cancellations must be received at least 10 days prior to arrival for the deposit to be refundable.

Standard Rooms = $114.00 + tax per night  (Most of this room type has No Elevator Access/ Stairs are Required)
If you need a Handicap Equipped Room, please advise and ask for the special rate.
Riverfront Balcony = $139.00 + tax per night
Riverfront Patio = $149.00 + tax per night

*Rates quoted are for 2 adults traveling without any children or pets.
*Pet Friendly rooms are very limited.  The Pet fee is $20.00 per pet per night.
*Tax is 15%

Again, be sure to ask for the Georgia Fiero rates.  If you have any problems, ask for General Manager Catherine Gay Cleiman.


For reservations please call 706-878-2271 or 800-445-2271
