At least the roads in SE Ohio and WV are awesome. That's why I go, as do many of you.

Here's a LITTLE sample for ya...

That's talent you just can't get anywhere else.

Been working on the SEO website, we've got countdown timers in place now for both the event and more importantly the expiration of the reserved room block.

In.

Hotel reservations made, tires ordered, who's in for a night run up 26 at midnight?

 

[El Toro Joe]

Only if we take it to 800, down to the river, and up 255, for the return trip back down 26.

I might have to hit Julie up, for that ride on the back of her bike.

Awesome Mr Originator

Midnight Run? Hmmm... sounds like fun, but then I would have to cut out the adult beverages that evening. Could be a task

No, that title belongs to WheatonFJR, this is his circus.

IMHO, there is not a more challenging form of riding that charging up a mountain road in the dark. US421, NC28, US129 - those will keep you on your toes in the daylight - run them at night, mirrors folded, nose to tail with a fellow rider you trust you life with - that's a rush...

I made my first run at Deal's Gap at midnight this last September.....and I will be doing it again. The best part was stopping at the top of the Foothills Parkway and watching the scenery at midnight, fog had fallen over the valley and it looked like the biggest white lake you had ever seen.

You're making my stomach churn just thinking about that......

We do this with our sleds. Nighttime 80mph down a narrow trail is a major major rush. Do it broad daylight... Still awesome, just not as much of a blood pumping rush.

I'll probably drink and hope to hear the stories forthcoming the next day. Or would that be the next night?

 

[El Toro Joe]

So KJ...do you really do that with your sled?

 

[gclarkx]

OK this shit weather's gone on too long. You guys are losing it with the cabin fever .......

 

[Top_Speed1]

So KJ...do you really do that with your sled?

Nope!, The sled does that to me! My Renegade-1200 tops out at a GPS speed of 107 (dream-o-meter says 125 lol), but that's for the frozen lakes.

So.... Looking at the site's countdown timer, we have 56 days till round'm up time in Mineral Wells. Here in central NY, we still have about 2.5' snow on the ground. Not near what one of my Beemer buds is riding thru, but that's regional mountain top stuff. Of course I've seen way worse from some of our Rocky Mountain Feejer friends here.

That kind of looks like the snow banks we rode through on Logan pass in 2012 on the way to NAFO in BC.
