Anybody interested in going?  I know I have never rode with anyone on the group yet.  It just hasn't been possible with scheduling conflicts so far.  I don't ride too fast, don't drink (well not when riding), wear appropriate gear, don't fart a lot (not so you can hear anyway).  I am throwing this out there for anyone interested.  I'm thinking of leaving Thursday and hitting the Blue Ridge Parkway and riding it up to the Skyline Drive and then heading back via whatever route looks interesting.  I will be meeting up with family at a reunion on Saturday at Lake Sherwood.  I think it is in Greenbrier county.  My wife is getting uncomfortable with me going on multi-day solo rides.  I think we have watched too many slasher movies lately.  She is concerned about safety issues.  Anybody is welcome to come along.  Probably will camp out Thursday and Friday nights. Later. Chris   No matter where you go, there you are! If my lawn mower only sounded like a VFR, I'd mow the grass a hell of a lot more.    Report

Jeffro-  Thanks for the tip on the routes coming back this way.  I have been on some of those before and will probably hit them again.  Thanks for the tip on the gear.  I'm pretty well set on gear for the moment, but I have been looking into some perforated leather.  All of my gear right now is textile Joe Rocket stuff.  I guess I follow ATGAATT (all the gear almost all the time).  I don't always wear my Ballistic pants.  Sometimes just wear jeans or work pants when I ride to work.  I do always wear gloves, boots, jacket and of course helmet.   No matter where you go, there you are! If my lawn mower only sounded like a VFR, I'd mow the grass a hell of a lot more.    Report
