Others will swoop in here and claim they invented it, but it has been proven they are liars.

The hard part is deciding which way to go, clockwise or counter clockwise.

Counter clockwise puts you on the Skyway early, so it will be damp/wet and coldish. However, that sets you up to go south to north on Blood Mountain which is the better way to do it, and you get to Franklin late in the day and can eat at Cafe Rel.

Warwoman and 28 are better if you go clockwise.

Ahh yes. Crab bisque if I recall correctly?
 

Man, thank you! I knew this route was created by someone on here. It had been so long I just couldn’t remember!

Any of you foos still ride wayne?

About once a month, when it’s open !

Years ago, in a land far far away, we used to all go down to deals gap. At one point someone shared a map with a route that looped through all four states. It included cherohala skyway, blood mountain, war women road, nc28, and some other glorious roads. Does anyone still have this route by chance? 

I've heard a lot  about wellsville , but never gone. Looks pretty rowdy! 

I have confirmation that they are in fact opening April 1 this year. Made probably a dozen trips down last season. Looking forward to this season opening up! 

Thanks guys! I’m super excited about the bike. I want to order the vortex ECU and get it breathing good, and it should be great!

Very nice!  Congrats!  Is that a golf course, or a perfectly groomed MX track in the background of the first picture?  Either way, it looks like awesome shredding material!

That’s an MX track, that my son and I have permission to ride. 

I've only got about 7 hours on it so far, but really enjoying it.

I'm born and raised in Tipp City. I still ride, but y'all would have to come to TN. Been down here for 10 years and 3 years into owning and running business I'm pretty tied to the area. If you're ever toward Nashville hit me up. Back in the day we had a strong group hitting up the local roads.

I still lurk, but not too terribly active. Been around for awhile though.

Hard to believe its been 10 year already!

A few years ago dayton had a bunch of riders. Life happens, many left. There are still a few that lurk on here and I know some still ride.. When life allows it.

I was thinking a few days ago, how many riders there were. It was genuinely amazing. 

WELCOME to the mix. Be patient. The groups come in waves. Give it time if you don't find the group your looking for right away. I'm not far from you, but I rarely ride on the street anymore, so I'm not much help.

I called the State Forest Rangers office, and was told there not busting balls over tags, but get a trail pass. Trying to head out there soon...

Trail pass is what I meant-  Is this what I need? I thought for sure I read yesterday I could not buy them online.  I've never ridden Wayne, but I really want to check it out.

Went to buy tags today and was surprised they aren't offering online sales currently. Shoot. 

I've got an ol honda  rancher 4x4, id love to take over to wayne! 

Anyone have any suggestions for campgrounds in ohio/kentucky? 

Well, Jayco hasn't exactly panned out for us. They have a floorpan we really like and no one has been able to have one in stock, or get us one that we can at least check out before we order one. So we are also looking at a rockwood mini lite 1905BH. Anyone have any experience with rockwood?

Mine did the same as well. I’ll never have a fiberglass sided camper again. 

Pulled out of the corner trim and kept going. 

 

that sounds terrible. I believe I will shy away from fiberglass campers. I really like the winnibago micros also, but they also have fiberglass. Going to check out the jayco dealer in the coming days.

I'd laugh hysterically if I saw a Ridgeline pulling a fifth wheel trailer... 

Don't they have that weird little trunk under the bed too? 

Yes they do. A rather large trunk at that. If I go new, the is what I’m leaning toward

I have a 18 ft Fleetwood Mallard , 2005.  Sleeps 7!  Good condition.  Yours for $4.5k!

Pics and details? 

Ultimately,  the ridgeline may not be my long term vehicle , but I see lots of guys using them over on the ridgeline forum. I've pulled a lot with it, but never a travel trailer. The ridgeline is what I currently have and will be using initially. The trailers I've been looking at have weighed 2600-3k unloaded. I need to set up my brake controller on the ridgeline also. 

Are there any particular brands to look at, stay away from, or "go too" brands? 

Strictly living trailer. No toy hauler. 20 ft total length. Will be pulling with my first gen Honda Ridgeline. We will be buying new. I’ve known too many who have bought used and ultimately had to redo plumbing , or electrical, or had big issues that weren’t apparent until they tried to use the systems. 

I’m looking to buy a small travel trailer. Sleep 3-4. Less than 20ft. Sub 5000lb. I know absolutely nothing about these things. What are some important details?
