Well, for the past couple of years I've hosted an Ohio Fall and Spring Ramble ride for FJR's in the area. We've had a great time meeting the area riders, riding nice twisties, bench racing, etc.
This year I've decided (with input from past attendees) to do a West Virginia ride instead. The roads are better maintained and offer better scenery than in Ohio.
What I need from those who may attend is input on the event so that it meets everyone's expectations:
1.) Would you like to make this a 2 day ride?
2.) If yes to #1, what type of place do you want to stay (cheap motel, motor lodge, mountain resort, bed and breakfast, state park resort, etc)?
2.) What do you want to do? Just ride good roads or is there a destination you want to see such as the New River Gorge, Radio telescope, Blackwater Falls, Canaan Valley park, etc?
3.) When can you attend? Late April is likely the earliest time I would plan the event. There are several high-altitude (for the east coast) mountain ranges we will cross. Early May would be wiser. Throw out some dates!!! I'm flexible.
4.) If we decide to do a multiple day ride, my thought is to ride Fri/Sat to allow those a day to return home on Sunday. Everyone OK with this? Any other thoughts?
5.) Starting point? End point? My thought is to start in either Parkersburg, Charleston, Clarksburg, or along the PA/OH/WV Ohio River Valley border. Does this matter much to you guys? If not, I'll decide as plans develop.
Thanks for your input and looking forward to another great event!
