2020 GTA Polar Bear Run
« on: November 22, 2020, 01:59:41 pm »
The run is always the last Saturday of December.  This year, that happens to be the day after Christmas. 

From the GTA website.

21st Polar Bear Run. December 26th or Boxing Day for all the Commonwealth folks.  We will gather at Hwy 9 and Mansell Rd in Roswell behind the Starbucks (10800 Alpharetta Hwy #502, Roswell, GA 30076) and wheels up will be at 9.30.
Destination this year will be Blue Ridge GA and the route will entail 85 miles of very scenic roads with one potty stop. There are a multitude of restaurants in Blue Ridge and surrounding area and there may even be a side visit to Grumpy Old Men Brewery.

We again are raising money for A.L.S. and donations while not required are very welcome.

Weather alternate date January 2nd.

I would just go but the alternative gets expensive especially when the divorce lawyers get involved. 😂

I would like a front page picture for the newsletter in portrait format.  Cars at the bottom, plenty of sky on top.

Portrait format has the long side vertical.

Every time I read the GTA part, an entirely different thing comes to mind.

I regret to say that I will not b able to participate in the Polar Bear Run.  My kids have contracted the Covid Virus.  My son-in-law tested positive on Wednesday.  My daughter is now developing symptoms.  The granddaughter is fine, so far. 

I don't think I was around them while they were developing, but that isn't why I can't go. On Tuesday I had an epidural to help relieve my back pain.  It worked very well and I was up and around.  Until Yesterday.  Because our Christmas celebration has been delayed, I delivered my family's presents to their front porch yesterday afternoon.  That was too much and I am back down again and in pain.

Someone please go on the run and take lots of pictures with your phone in the portrait position.  Michael has the article written for the feature of the January newsletter and he needs a front-page picture as well as article pictures. 

The word I have this morning is that the Polar Bear Run for 2020 is still on for Saturday, December 26.

Charlie, please take care. Stay healthy. Prayers for the kids. I hope they feel better quickly.

Everyone else, be careful on the roads. I've been hearing about snow, up in the northern elevations. (We got zip, down here.)

Supposed to be up around the mid 40's later in the day and into tomorrow.  Anyone who goes, stay back in the lineup and let the frontrunners find any bad stuff first. 

Thanks, Steve.  Staying glued to the recliner and close to my Tramadol.  Kids say they are sore in their joints, headache, and slight fevers but not alarmed, yet. 

Forgoing celebrating with my sister and brothers because of the back and just in case I might be asymptomatic.   

If you go and looking for a place to eat, there's a steakhouse at 4004 E 1st St, Blue Ridge, GA 30513 that we've used on one of the runs.  Pretty good food.  There's also a microbrewery just down the street if you don't visit the one GTA mentioned.

I may not be able to go. I have a bad ingrown toenail, and it hurts to wear shoes. I'm not sure if I want to drive the whole things in sandals.
