Glad you can make it Bill.

We should be in Moundsville around 9;15/9:30.

I've been through there before, but don't have a clue for a good meeting spot?

Any Ideas?

Tom

 

[WVFJR]

I'll go check it out tomorrow and get back to you with a good place to meet. Man 556 was a blast last weekend with wheaton. I finally got my mojo back before we hit it. :clapping: :clapping:

I could do a Friday ride. As the day draws nearer I will let you know if i can.

If you're coming down sr2, there is a dooghnut shop on the left, and it's just before the 2/250 split.

 

[tstaff]

Meeting spot for Friday will be in the Pizza Hut parking lot in Moundsville, WV aprox, 9:30 AM, at the split of Rt. 2 & Rt. 250.

FYI I was on 536 yesterday and it was pretty dirty-watch for gravel in corners.

Enjoy the ride.

492 miles on the clock, All 6 Buckeye's made it home safely.

It was great meeting up with Kevin & Bill, Thanks for the hospitality.

Maybe we can do it again at the EOM in September?

Rt. 18 turned out to be a very nice road all the way to Sistersville, you will have to give it a try.

536 in Ohio was a mess, gravel in a lot of the corners, it was clean when we rode it last month, go figure.

Jimstaff took a bunch of pictures, I took one, I'm sure he will post them when ready.
