First w/e ride for 2011.. Friday after work, we slabbed it on i-76 until the Blue Mountain exit. Grabbed a quick bite and warmed up a bit. Then it was off to Shawnee State Park the rest of the way via backroads.

The plan for Saturday and Sunday was about 300 miles each. Blue route for Saturday and Green for Sunday. Looking back, the Green route coming back was better than Saturday's route. In fact it was so good, that we decided to use this route next time to ride out Saturday morning and use the same route to come back on Sunday. We'll skip the semi boring Friday night ride.



Loaded up and ready to roll.. I ride it to work like this so I can take off directly from work.



Shawnee State Park











Probably not a good idea during moto trips...or ever for that matter. lol.





















Traveling piggy



Beautiful weather today..





















Sunday...



What's for dinner?











Close call.. TJ almost lowsided here.. you can see the tire marks. He felt the rear start to slide out. When he realized he wasn't going to make the turn, he stood it up and braked for a second and then slid on some gravel. From my view, his bike looked like a bucking horse that shook very hard trying to throw him off. Somehow he managed to stay up and pulled off to the side.











And.....moving on. More nice roads.





A nice break for lunch. The burger I had was great, but the sweet potato fries..not so much (they were not crispy).

I use Garmin's mapsource. Basically set the map to 3mi view and pick the curviest looking roads and string them together. I found if the view is less than 3mi view, it picks up a lot of the small local roads (gravel, unpaved, dirt, goat paths, etc). Usually for a full day's ride (8am-7pm) including breakfast and lunch and breaks about every hour, about 275 mile route is good.

I love WV....awesome roads all over the place and minimal LEO coverage. They're mostly on the main / busy roads so mind your speeds there. We've been to the Seneca Rocks area many times. The truly amazing roads are in the SW section of WV. If you're looking for slow scenic, there's always Skyline Drive and at the end of it you can skip over to WV since you probably know VA is known for strict enforcement. Have a safe trip and a great time!

...yea, so I'm a little behind in posting my RRs. This one was to the Indy MotoGP from Philly, PA with my riding buddies...August 2008. Our plan was to take a *LONG* way to Indy via MD, WV, and OH twisties...and back via similar route. So, here are some pics!

On my trusty KTM 625 smc... PERFECT for twisties.



Dinner...




We stayed at Front Royal, VA the first night. We normally have no qualms about parking our bikes outside, but on this particular night, we spotted some people suspiciously eyeing our bikes..so we decided to add some more roommates to our room.



I'm surprised I didn't take more photos along the way, but we eventually made it to Indy. The worse part of the ride was the last few hours on the dreaded highway leading into Indy. Lucky for us, my buddy Alex from Indy showed up with his RV to host us for the few days we stayed. Thanks Alex!

These are from the practice sessions.. They were still hauling ass IMO. :deal





Too bad MotoGP is not so popular in the US.



The RV... smells like something burning.









Sweet..





squid alert!

Nice. $52 for a Rossi t-shirt. $35 for Lorenzo.









Nice use of duck tape.. personally I prefer Gorrilla Tape.

more practice sessions.













The race begins!



We need more fans..





Pedrosa's bike taking a nap. It's amazing how many places he regained by the end of the race.

So after a few days in Indy, we were excited to hit the road again.



And we enjoyed some very fine WV and VA asphalt...





Blue Ridge Parkway is always a blast..
