RTE Bub-A-Que Jasper GA - Re-Schedule?

Just found this one and it looks good. The date just "snuck up" on me when, I realized I had the day to ride, so rather than to check it out alone, I thought I'd invite a couple of thousand of my friends. But weather permitting, I'm going.  :motonoises: 

Bub-a-Que is another one of those places around Atlanta that started with a BBQ contestant being told he ought to open a restaurant. Jasper is on the northside of the city and easily accessible to the mountains afterward.  Afterwards, I'm going to ride over Burnt Mountain Rd, down to Ellijay, back to Dahlonega and enjoy the Ga hills and curves. If you go west or north, it's nice riding.

Let's hope for warm spring weather, but in Georgia in late March we might have snow or 70 degrees. Roll the dice...

Hope to see you there.

Ron
 
One week out! Forecast is cloudy, 63, overcast, chance of showers. Perfect riding weather to go ATGATT!

Y'all sign up so I can callahead.

Thanks!

Ron
 
Well.............I guess I'll join the herd and cancel this RTE. Let's do it later, maybe June?
Thanks,
Ron
 
Okay! 2020 is gone-hooray! Well, let’s try this again.

Since we last talked, I visited this place and sat on the nice outside deck. Food was pretty good too. So anyone want to try this again in August on a Saturday? Which Saturday?
Yes/No? Do it before the leaf lookers start?
Comment?
 
Counted! I'm sort of waiting on the boss to see if we're going to Boston to visit our daughter, but that's Tbd. Thanks.
 
Was there ever a date/time pegged for this? My weekends are tied up every other weekend (divorced dad and all) but if I'm free, I'd like to try and make it.
 
Never nailed this down. Let's make it easy for you: August 21 or 28th? Those fall between BTH (w/e of 7/31 and RWTW w/e Sept 10-11.) Thoughts?
 
Excellent. If I don’t hear from our friend tomorrow, I’ll go with the 21st. Thanks guys.
 
Ok guys. No word-so, it’s going on the calendar for 8/21/21 at 11:30am. Hope you come and bring a friend.

I had lunch there a while back and it’s pretty good. Nice big deck for outside seating, but it gets busy on Saturday.

:( Ron, I now have a conflict on the 21st; go figure. I'll be down in Talladega area w/ bike on that weekend. If this RTE happens to change to the 28th, I'm in, but please do not change it on my account. My loss!
 
Well crud. I’m fitting this one in between some other stuff on my family calendar. Let’s see what happens.😣
 
Sorry for delayed reply gang - been a rough week. When you get your 40 hours in by wednesday evening, you know you're working too hard. I just PM'ed Ron - I'm free the 28th - if you guys decide to move to that date, I'd love to meet up. If not, I'll catch the next one (or maybe even I'll schedule one for out here in West Ga somewhere at some point). Cheaha State Park over in Alabama has a nice twisty run up to the top of the mountain...

Woo hoo, oh yeah!
 
I am looking at this closely. If so I will come up on Friday and stay with my sister in Gainesville, Ron we can ride up together if it happens.
 
Jerry this will probably move to the 28th, but still looking forward to seeing you!


(So, you guys up for the 28th? It’s all good to me!)

Hey Ron, you'll see (in an email) that I invited quite a number of folks in north AL to join me on the trek your way. If they don't respond to my email, then I'll call or text them.

Got 2-3 more. Gonna be a fun lunch.
I’ll “warn” then for 15. See you there.
Add another with me, Ron.
Four (4): Me, Marina, Connor (you met) and another grandson (Gavin).

I'm calling a few others nearby to see if they will ride over with me. Little to no response to the e-mail I sent them.
 
I talked with Ron today, I am going to get an early start Saturday morning and take the long way to the restaurant. I will be there by 11am
 
We are reserved on the deck for 11:30. If you get there first, ask for the COG group, Michele will probably be out server. Thanks guys!
 
Hey guys - had to cancel my registration. Life has been keeping me too busy of late and I've been on the bike exactly twice since I got her in early July (and only for about an hour combined). I'm way too rusty to be venturing across town to meet up with you guys and I darn sure don't need to be tempted to go run some twisties with the gang after lunch. Hopefully I can get some time free this weekend to shake the cobwebs off her anyway but at the rate I'm going, I'll likely wind up working quite a bit this weekend.

Feel like a bit of a wanker since I'm the one that kicked this thread back up the list (and even got date change to meet my schedule). Looks like you're going to get a good turn-out so anyway so I hope you guys have a good time!

Ride safe :)
 
Well crud. You know that you’re in charge of the next one, right? 😉
I figured that was coming and I accept the responsibility! I'm pretty bummed to be honest - I remember COGgers as being a pretty jovial bunch and given the last couple months of work, I could stand a heavy dose of joviality :)
 
EVERYBODY rides their own ride at their own pace. U should never force urself to ride at a pace thats beyond your comfort and skill level. U should still attend cuz, yes u need their joviality....

We enjoyed it, even though we were 30+ mins late "to the party." Unfortunately, we had little conversation with my fellow COG'ers and friends.

Next time we'll be early. A couple of missed key turns cost us valuable time.

I ended up with ~410 miles round-trip. All-in-all, a great day. :)

I hope you didn’t feel neglected. I don’t “work groups” well.😟 You’ve got a beautiful family. I know you’re proud of them!
