Data, if you've the time, there's a great overlook at Ft Boreman outside of Parkersburg. Its about 20 mins or so south of Marietta.

Here's a picture from the overlook...

Wait! How come you have never taken me there? Oh yeah. You don't lead.

Yes, Fort Boreman has some awesome views. It is just down the road from my office, i got there all the time on my lunch breaks.

Norm,
I'll see you Thurs. night, (The good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise.)

I'm in for Friday as well. I'll try to keep up.

You probably won't have any trouble keeping up. I run a pace through the twisties, but don't go flat out on the straights, so slower riders can more easily keep up. Routes avoid towns, traffic, traffic lights. We collect at turns, which is easier on roads with no traffic. There will likely be some passing on double yellow as a last resort with slow traffic. Since this ride is on Fri, there won't be much traffic on the roads we are riding. If you are in the BT intercom chain, you will get safe advice about oncoming traffic, hazards, etc. There probably will be at least one run up to 100 mph in a deserted stretch of smooth straight road where there is an absolute minimum of risk. Always ride a pace that is safe for you. We will sort, faster riders at the front, slower in the back.

This is a lengthy, technical route- about 260 mi total. We need to arrive at Hillbilly Hotdogs before noon (156 mi), so there will only be one P-stop in the morning. After lunch, we'll stop at Pt Pleasant to gas up, then there's more fun stuff till we hit I77 near Ravenswood. From there you can either shoot up I77 or continue a short distance and ride part of the morning route in reverse to get back. Experience says most will be ready for I77.

It's guaranteed to be a fun day, with lots of variety, and everyone will be riding some (or a lot of) roads they have never been on before.

Forget about T Hoes...there's a little coffee shop on into town called Stoked....it puts them to shame.

All Y'all are just a bunch of goof balls! For those who who arive tomorrow instead of whimping out and staying home, I will see you tomorrow evening. At which time, we can figure out groups for riding, get dinner, drink and bullshit as usual!

Guess I'll just have to wait for all the weenie eaters to get back from their ride to the hot dog stand...see y'all at the hotel, sometime later in the afternoon.

You might want to check that code on your new 16....it might be your Hot Dog low level light.Maybe you better join us.

Denny, it's looking like I might have to wait for the dealer to open on Friday morning (9:00am) to get the bike in to have the code cleared. So there's no way that I could be down there early enough to meet you guys. Enjoy the hot dogs.

Geez Joe - just put some of that special black tape over the light that fixes ALL error codes

Denny is mister SEO, Bob...and I like following him, if I'm not following you.

I reinstalled the Kenwood 3101 GMRS radio and will squak Ch15. It's been a while. The last time I knew people that actually talk to each other was CA.

Maybe they'll bring some pea meal bacon to go with the beans.

I know that. I just haven't had the opportunity.

I think you're saying we can walk there from the hotel........ IN.

 

[steve_g]

I'm out for Friday. My daughter has pneumonia and can't go to school.

If it works out, I'll be at the hotel by 8:00 Saturday morning.

 

[JustinNck1]

Just as a reminder, if anyone has mechanical issues or needs a shop to work on something, I have a garage with bike lift, tire changer and plenty of tools. I am about 30 miles from the hotel.

 

[road runner]

I besided to leave tonight. I'm in weedsport NY now. So I will be there at decent time tomorrow.
