Default i like to ride...

A few buddies and I are doing a long weekend moto trip to WV this weekend. This week was the longest week ever waiting for Friday to arrive. We leave after work today. We are planning to camp at Green Ridge Forrest in MD as our 'base camp' and then do day rides in WV during the days. These are our planned routes. Ride report soon to follow.

Camping? Not just a little cold? This past weekend wasnt too bad, but April is kinda hit/miss with overnight temps...

Anyhow I'd like to hear more about the trip, and if you have any particular routes that you liked, and would like to share (.gpx or .itn files) that would be great!

I heard a certain someone was lagging behind a bit, poor guy

packed and ready to go.


we arrive at green ridge state forest


yummmm..beef jerky does a body good.


feels like home


at least one person has their priorities straight. yuengling, don't leave home w/o it.


got some firewood - we only paid $20 for all the wood we could carry on our bikes. sweet!


a ducati hauling firewood? you don't see that too often..




aerostich power net is damn strong...




went out for a quick ride before dinner.


dinner is served. chicken dogs wrapped in fresh cut bacon from the local shop. yumm.


seneca rocks






Leaving the Midway Exxon..


Follow the keg.






Found some tight backroads




Saw plenty of 20mph advisory curves.


What a beautiful day to ride.


US219... this way for some amazing roads.




DSH's ducati monster ahead of me.


i wish the day would never end.






oops. a close call. road goes right, but everyone proceeds to go straight.


time to test your emergency braking skills.


...and moving on.


typical small town we passed through. i made sure to slow down to the posted speed limit in these areas.


The last day of our trip. After some Bob Evans breakfast, we head off towards home.


The bikes feel so heavy compared to yesterday's ride.


I'm not sure what area this is, but it was gorgeous.


More nice weather, and awesome twisties. WV does not disappoint.


Oops. Wrong turn. We are not crossing that...


Going up the mountain, things get pretty tight. Here's a 10mph advisory curve.


It's hard to know when we should pull over with so many nice roads ahead of us.




typical tight, winding WV roads...




Can't wait to go back. WV rocks.

It was a little chilly, but not too bad if you're prepared for it. It probably dropped to the low 40s at night. Daytime temps were perfect for riding...about mid 60s, low 70s.

The best roads in WV are in the SW section of WV. Check this out: http://www.motorcycleroads.us/states/wv.html

If you're interested in joining us next time, let me know, and I'll give you a heads up for the next one. Maybe DZ will stay for the entire ride next time.

Regrettable decisions are made when, 1. wife is in a panic about what turned out to be nothing, and 2. operating on about 4 hours of crappy sleep. Halfway home, I was already regretting my decision to head home.

Only 8 days left until we head south to Deal's Gap... I'm expecting about 2900 miles in about 10 days, an average of about 300 backroad twisty miles per day. We're planning to hotel/camp roughly 50/50. We reserved a nice cabin (with a hot tub!) in Cherokee, NC when we spend 3 nights there. I'm hoping to try my luck at the local casino too. And lots and lots and lots of BBQ joints along the way... Can't wait!



I'll be taking the KTM again. It's usually more fun in the tight twisties than my R1.

Woot... time to start a new thread.. as always a great ride report with great pics... My trips this year are sadly going to be limited to weekends only... Taking 3 weeks off june 25th-july 16th to visit Hungary with the wife.. First time she will be home in 7 years.. and then another week long trip to mexico in November... Maybe while we are over there we can arrange for a rental.. right now other than the dates and flight times, nothing is planned.

I was planning on doing a lehigh valley rafting trip in june... I had to put that on hold since the FJR went into the shop and I wasnt sure how long it would be there... Now that I hacve it back maybe I should look to schedule this for weekend of june 12 or 19th... hmmm
