I'm hanging out in the bed of my truck now.

None. No drop, wait up at every turn. Probably 150 plus miles. Probably hit Hawks nest, Clendenin, Spencer, etc. Starting at 10:00 or 11:00.

It's kind of far for you but a few of us are getting together for a ride in Charleston on Saturday if you are interested.

My wife lived in Vienna for a while and just off of 50 near the bottling facility. I can't recall what drink was bottled there. Make sure you go by the Pizza Place and have a slice for me. I love that pizza.

Where are you in Parkersburg? My wife grew up there.

Welcome. I'm down in the Charleston area. Not sure if this will work but it's worth a shot. https://www.facebook.com/groups/WestVirginiaSportbikeRiders/

I had a great time but I don't know any other routes in the area to compare it to. I hope to attend again next year.

One of the only pictures I took all day. The fast group after the ride.

You can also call and register. I registered two or three weeks prior to the email.

We made it back to Charleston safe and sound. What an awesome day. Thanks to everyone involved. Great people, great food, and great riding.

Well I unloaded my track bike and loaded my street bike in the trailer. My buddy will be getting here around 8:00 in the morning and we will be heading that way.

Thank you. I had a great time.

I thought about reaching over and hitting his kill switch once. He never worried me in the least, that man can flat out ride!

That is awesome, congrats to you as well. I'm strongly considering bumping up to Advanced as well.

Another awesome day on the track with new and not so new friends. It's always nice meeting good people. My morning was rough due to a broken shifter bolt. Luckily for me Mark (Vesrah) helped me out and I was able to do a little "engineering" and got the bike running after wasting the morning sessions fixing it. I then gave up the first afternoon session to have new springs installed in the forks. Apparently riding springs for a 130 pound guy is t the best idea when you weigh 100 pounds more than that. Who knew! The last three sessions were awesome and I had a lot of fun trading positions with some other riders. A huge bonus is that I managed to get two new personal best laps! Here is my new PR. I have been looking for a 1:45 for quite some time.

It's a great day to wake up at the track.

It was more crowded than I expected but not bad at all. I skipped the first session and went out the second session (intermediate). About three laps in I decided it was way too slick. About that time I realized that I had completely forgotten to check my tire pressure. The third session was quite a bit better but still slickeryish (fancy racing term). I was able to get a knee down but it was sketchy. In the afternoon the track started coming in pretty nice. It wasn't PR nice but it was good. Tomorrow should be great after a couple of slickeryish sessions in the morning.

How is the track when temps are in the 40's and 50's?

I've decided to ride both days. I was going to just ride one but there is a good chance this will be my last opportunity to ride this year. There is the appreciation day in October but it's hard to tell what the weather will be like by then.

Rest in peace rider.

It really sucks being broke.

I have the same plan.

So, who will be there?

As much as I raced road and mountain bikes I've seen just about everything.
