Off of Wolf Pen Gap Road and now headed to Helen. Beautiful blacktop on the Richard B. Simmons Scenic Byway (or something like that).

The GPS display tells a good story.

We make it into Helen, GA. Helen used to be a lumber town. When the lumber industry moved away, they decided to turn the soon-to-be ghost town into a tourist town by making it into a quaint Alpine town. Their big season is Octoberfest which runs from mid-September, into November. It's a lot of fun, but truly dreadful getting into and out of town. Traffic will be lined up for miles coming in from the South. Hint: Come in from the North.

The End.

Helen is very near the head waters for the Chatahoochie River, the river that runs through Atlanta. Tubing on the river is both a popular thing to do, and watch.

To anyone who wants to explore the N. GA mountains, I say c'mon, lets go. We've got some really great riding roads and plenty of places to stop along the way for a cold one.

I think Pinkie did an awesome job on her first BSR photo assignment. It gave her something to do besides wacking me on the head when things start going by too fast. I could really tell when the road was starting to get her attention as I could feel her starting to hold on tighter with her knees, but she just kept on clicking away, trying to get more great shots for everyone to enjoy.

We had a great time. Maybe next time you'll be there to enjoy it with us.

:indian_chief:

P.S. This was Pinkie's birthday ride. Wednesday is her 29th. Happy Birthday Pinkie, I love you.

Chief, I'm checking the calender now. We've got MV07 10/10-15. I've got a wedding 11/2 (Friday). So it looks like 11/10 (Veterns Day W/E) or 11/17. After that it's Thanksgiving.

Thanks for sharing the pics, always like seeing other parts of the byways and perhaps one for a future ride.

November sounds good to me. If you want to pick a date, we can start putting some legs on it.

I forgot how scenic Helen was. Thanks for posting the pics :2vrolijk_21:

Last time Bluefelix and I were there we didn't have the bikes, so I really didn't remember the roads.

Have the need to get back there soon!
