I would head west towards the EOM area and ride, awesome stuff over there. Roan Mtn just south of there on t h e NC/TN border has spectacular views and great roads as well. Don't let the Yanks (rhymes with wanks) catch ya up nort.

Sounds like Ray will be the first settler to arrive. (and, there's about 3 Ray's a showing, so pretty good odds).
Billy, have fun and since you're bailing on Mikes Tech day as well, see you up at CFR!

Hey Wheatie - if you go with the last choice, you can pick me up in route. I could be convinced to clear my calendar for 5 weeks!!
This will solve my challenge about routing through TN and KY!!!

Nah, I want someone committed who will ride the whole route with me. Your lack of commitment is a disqualifying. Sorry.
But don't feel bad. My lack of commitment disqualifies me as well...cuz I aint riding that.

The last one looks doable, if you start now.
Both of you better become darksiders to pull that one off

I was hacking around route-in idea's with Madmudder.
We have a few possible choices, and from previous experiences; getting around Pittsburgh and not wanting to take slab... so, basically you have to go far far away from the Pitts. I recall suburbs like Mars, and then Moon! NO, I'm being serious, real towns burbing Pitts.. No slab, but too many intersections pertaining to the web of Pitts. We think we have some options here, either going above or below the Pitts web.
----------------------
I also booked a room in Bradford PA at the EconoLodge for Weds nite (5/11). Didn't really have to, but this way I can just crawl out of bed, go down the street to our Cafe meeting spot, pluussss... I get another night of beer tastings.
It was only $60 including taxes, so not bad, I booked thru ChoiceHotels.com. Anyone interested here's the info.

KJ, take a look at this route from Bradford:
219 to Dubois, 119 to Uniontown,
21/18 to Hundred, 7 to Marietta.
About 7 hours, no highway.

At the end of the route, I'd take 260 from 7 at Matamoras to 26 and South to Marrietta. 7 is BORING. Take a look.

Hey man! I'm in the Keys now...that stuff seems to go with the mellow vibe here very well, although I think wine can be fine. 80 degrees today with a nice breeze and clear skies. I'm taking advantage of the shade by the pool to avoid being a total burn-out. Of course I'm on best behavior since my daughter is along.Tom, can you cross the state border with that stuff?
Dumbest question ever...are you bored with retirement?

Well it looks like work will get in the way of me making this and having tech day the weekend before. Outage is going to be extended to the point that start up will be right about on Monday 5/16. That really sucks as I was so looking forward to showing Pants around WV. Fucking work! Come on October 2017! I will probably have a better idea tomorrow, but it doesn't look good.
