I'm planning on hitting Iron Pony in Columbus sometime on Friday... probably around lunch. Anyone coming through there?

 
I'll either be leaving from work around 4:00p.m. and slab it down 77, or maybe take a half day and leave around 11:30a.m. and take the longer twistier way down Friday.

 
To do my part in bringing this back on topic, my brother and I will be camping thursday night somewhere in WV. If anyone is interested in joining us let me know and I will keep you in the loop on our decision where.
Bob, planning to leave Hampton Roads on Thursday, also. My plans are kinda' open right now since I'm unsure as to whether Jay will be going. Him & I were talking about riding the length of 16 from Marion to the top of Ohio. Also, Scott has talked about joining. If these guys poop out, I'm leaving on Thursday & riding somewhere in WV. Maybe meet & ride with you guys. I don't think that I'd be into camping, though. I don't want to carry camping gear for 1 night's camping. I know that you want to use your new tent. Any chance you guys would consider cheap lodging if I'm along?

Oh good lord, thank you!
You're welcome.

 
I was going to post up my travel plans coming from St. Louis which was to stop off near Louisville, KY Thursday night with a full day of scenery and curves between there and Marietta planned for Friday...until I realized it was Derby weekend! Not a motel near Louisville to be found.

Guess I'll curve up north a little to avoid the crowds. Anybody else coming from out west and want to synch up travel to the ramble, let me know.

Hey Will, why don't you stop off at Buffallo Trace and pick up a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle

Uhh... you got some connections or a badge I can flash for that one? What I hear that stuff is a little hard to come by. I will definitely be stopping along the way to pick up some bourbon though.

I'd settle for the watered down Makers...but the Woodford will work

Yes, It is such a terrible hardship to ask a BMW rider if he wants to stay in a hotel room! lol!

Depending on your route, look in to a place called Rabbit Hash, KY.

The mayor is a dog.

Really.

I gotta go see that. I checked on a map and it is not far off from the route I was already contemplating.

As far as I can figure:

Will is bringing the bourbon,

Joe's bringing cigars,

BikerGeek99 got a "case of clams",

Wayne has a joint,

And we're going to have a Hoo Ha!

 
A spotwalla location page has been set up for us courtesy of Jason at spotwalla. I'll put details / reminders together and post it to the website in the next couple of days.

For those unfamiliar, this event page will allow individuals to "join" and have their spot tracker displayed on a map; everyone who joins will show on one map. Props to Yamafitter for figuring this out last year.

The page will be live from 30 April to 10 May, and you can join the event at anytime (as soon as I post the link...)

Is it May yet?

Wayne
