TWF Gap Rally
***Ive Updated this post since it was originally put up***
I know we had a thread about this a couple months ago, but we've added a ton of new members since then, and things have changed alot so I thought I'd put something up here as a sticky so we can reference it and keep all the info in the same place.
Right now the initial thoughts were to try and plan on going down to the gap the same time as WOS goes down May 28 - June 4th, to maximize the participation of as many as possible...However these days are not set in stone as of yet as far as TWF goes. So its open to suggestions to see if these dates work for everyone or not.
Be sure to post in here as soon as possible so we can get the dates officially set to give everybody time, since many of our places of employment allow us to put in for vacation near the beginning of the new year. We'll do our best to get everybody down there that we can.
Again, this thread is to gage the interest and see how many of us can attend. Shan will have the final say of course as to when we go down, but this will give us a good starting point to go by

I dont care...If its a big deal I will cancel my arrangments and let you handle them... If you waste my time by telling me that your going then backing out @ last min. I'm gonna keep your money anyway. :yesnod:
Well after our phone call I think you're on to something...if you put in your deposit and then need to back out. We get to keep it and spend your hard earned cash at the strip club. $125 should buy quite a few lap dances don't you think!!!

I thought I would share "DA Whip" with everybody. It is one of the tightest turns on the gap. It claimed a few bikes while we were there. It starts out as a nice looking turn but tightens up so fast it puts alot of people on their head. I think every week I will give hints on how to ride the gap and maybe i could get my own tread.... :wink:
I heard of "the whip"!!! I heard it's tough and if you go into it too quick you could be in trouble for that exact reason....it tightens up!!!! JUST STUFF I'VE HEARD!!!twisty said:I thought I would share "DA Whip" with everybody. It is one of the tightest turns on the gap. It claimed a few bikes while we were there.

I'd be up for that...if you have pics like this one, put them up each time as well. I know I could use a tutorial on what to look out for..the less surprises out there, the better.twisty said:I thought I would share "DA Whip" with everybody.

You know that answer Twisty...everyone wants to be like you. LOL
Here is an aerial pic as well of the Gap.
The record time for riding the Dragon is nine minutes.
True to some extent. There are riders past and present who can run the Dragon from the Overlook to the Crossroad of Time (9.3 miles) in nine minutes and change. These riders have been riding the Dragon for more than 10 years and know every nuance of the road. This was the original timed section for records back in the 1990s when Deals Gap Riding Society was formed. To be official one had to make the run from the Overlook to the Crossroads, turn around, and return to the Overlook. The total time was divided by 2. WARNING !!!! DO NOT TRY TO SET A NEW RECORD ON THE DRAGON ---- SERIOUS INJURY WILL RESULT AND YOU WILL NEVER BE THE FASTEST RIDER THERE ANYWAY.
Twisty...how close are you to this time???

at:There may be some problems that have arisen with me going down to the gap with you guys on these dates..still trying to figure it out though. I know DJ probably won't be able to make it down there then, so that will suck too.
we'll see.
so far, me and him were the only 2 twf's definately going down with wos. so we'll have to see what we can figure out

I just can't go at the begining of the trip. Its my sons 4th birthday on June 1st. After that till the 4th is looking ok still. But I will let you know if anything has changed. I don't care when I get to go. I just want to ride it and be able to say I did. :dthumb:
they are planning on leaving the 4th, so that means you'll get in 2 days of riding for all that driving..thats alittle rough don't u think ?
I guess if we have to change it, on TWF's end, we will...WOS is going down then no matter what.
might allow more members to go as well. including Shan.
we'll see, stay tuned.
