2019 RS Owners Ride In to Helen Georgia

[Grumpy Goat]

Nice review....I will have to keep that hotel in mind for future travels. By chance do you know if Cabots is affiliated with a hotel chain?

I doubt it - not one of the large chais like Marriott, Sheratonr, etc.

Looking at their website, they presently have 3 locations (2 in Jackson and one in Florida) and there is no branding of any other hotel chain. They are part of MMI Hotel Group based on Flowood, MS.

Next year we need to "hire" a better photographer. I look like a trouble maker ready to cause some mischief! lol

If the shoe fits....

Couple of videos in case you're interested ...

Day 2 video was just posted.

[VTBob]

Nice video Wayne!

[Grumpy Goat]

Thanks guys.

Bob - one of the principal reasons I make videos is to share my perspective with people who were not there AND to remind me of the good times I had ... like how we used to treat home movies in the old days. These are my home movies. Hehehe ... as a matter of fact I have even once or twice referred to my own DIY videos before starting a job on the bike! Glad you enjoyed it and yes there are more to come.

Day 3 was a wash out in that I and a few others did not ride but spent the time in town. That does not mean there is not a video to come ... there is. Day 4 (Tuesday) is the day of the longest ride of the trip to Hendersonville NC and there are some twisties in that video to come. Day 5 (Wednesday) has the ride to Brasstown Bald and some more curvy roads - great day with Darrell and Bob. So yes - more to come.

Wonderful videos sharing the start of your adventure to Helen to join in on the fun. Let the fun begin, Wayne has arrived.

Hehehe ... judging by the greeting I got the fun had already started before I got there.

Darrell lives 10 miles from me here in Minnesota. I saw him 2 weeks ago in Helen, 1200 miles from home.

I ran into him today 60 miles away at the most distant of three BMW dealers from home.

We had a nice ride/lunch/ride. Thanks Darrell!

Great pictures and videos, too bad I missed it this year. I'll make it next year, though, it's only 90 miles from my house!

Thanks for riding along for the 110 miles and grabbing lunch with me.

Welcome to the site Ron. I'll catch up with you in July for 2 - 3 days of riding in Colorado.

Good to hear from you and welcome to the Forum. You were missed this year but glad to hear that you will make the 90 miles to the 2020 Ride In city.

Appears to me you could relocate permanently to Helen, GA and become the towns new marketing manager. Great video show casing the community.

Thanks Darrell. It was my pleasure to make this little video which was probably more for the benefit of my wife and others who were not there and who would be interested in seeing a bit of what Helen had to offer.

BTW all of the photos except for the three overlooking the tubing in the river were edited screen-grabs from the GoPro Hero 7. The tubing photos were from my cell phone. All came out pretty well I think.

Another "touristy" one to come would be our visit to Brasstown Bald. ?
