The Atlanta group has one stop for gas at 12 minutes, and has breakfast for 28 minutes.

The Asheville group stops for gas for 10 minutes, breakfast for 30 minutes...

There is no delay for weather...

Lets see.... according to the calcations of my whiz wheel......

Not taking into account of the coefficient of friction  of the polymers in the Indian bearing grease......
.......... no head wind ,.......each rider at 120 lbs...........Standard food  and water intake...

multiply by the earth speed of rotation........

I  simply conclude you will meet precisely in Greenville , South Carolina.

If I take into account the number of motorcycle crashes per minute worldwide, the amount of tissue it takes to stop an average nosebleed caused by the standard schoolyard game of tetherball, the number of seconds Jeremy Clarkson puts between the words "the most powerful car," and "in the world," and the length of the longest hair on my big toe, I come to the conclusion that all three of you are actually on the moon in knickers eating Belgian waffles.  With strawberry syrup.


Or something like that.

"C. Blue Ridge Wheeltor strangles Uncle Ernie, leaving him by the side of the road, and blames it on Cabo Cruz?"  BRW

At that point, Brs. BigDon and Cabo Cruz had not yet arrived on the scene.  This leaves one Br. Blue with red hands and running from The Law!!!
Long live the Bullets and those who ride them!

Keep the shiny side up, the boots on the pegs and best REgards,

because the distance between cities are measured from the edge of one to the center of the next. the distance from atlanta to ashville will be less than the distance from ashville to atlanta.
