Enjoyed a nice early fall ride with the wife in tow. 717 miles total. we hit of the back roads that are not well known with names like "Frog Hollow" Rt. 72 out of Parsons follows the Cheat river north up to Albright and then 72 is nice to continue north. Great Coffee and Bake goods at the Fuel Coffee Shop, (100 Farmington-Ohiopyle Rd, Farmington, PA 15437) WV-PA Oct 2019_0020_Moment by WV-PA Oct 2019_0020 by WV-PA Oct 2019_0037 by

I think The wife and I may have passed you. We road east on 47-119 in Linn-Weston and then 48 to elkins 250 south and so on to the east. Overnighting and back north on Sat. into PA. And home on Monday. Green law z1k and a white spyder in tow. What a great day.

I would have thought that Tonik would have staid at the high class "Martha Washington Inn & Spa" with his Honda Gold Lodging Card. I stay in Abingdon, VA. when I ride the Mid Atlantic Back Road discovery route that starts in Damascus, VA. Nice area.

We have been looking hard at Marysville, TN. For the last few years.

☹️Can't make it Doc. Wife and I will be riding southbound on the Blue Ridge and east into VA. The weather looks great.

I will hit 62 in Jan. I knocked everything off my bedroom dresser trying to put my underwear on standing up one leg at a time. It was a nice save thou. I did not hit the floor. Picking shit up off the floor was not the best way to start the day.

Sorry Rick, I am doing dirty ADV stuff this weekend.

Great labor day 240 mile ride today from the Hock out past Cambridge area and back with the wife/Spyder in tow. Great weather. We staid off so of the more tourist routes and enjoyed quit back roads. Chandlerville - Claysville - New Concord (Coffee) - Senecaville - Buffalo - Musky Bucket( Via 284) - Mconnelsville - Philo - Shawnee. Route 669's Chip is almost all packed down. 146 & 313 & 248 all in great shape. My new (Bridgestone Battlax T30 EVO's) on the Z feel good and are pretty much scuffed in but will have to go out alone to clean up the edges and get a real feel on the front at a elevated pace.

705 Pike Street, Marietta Country club driveway off 7. Motel parking lot on left. I just checked it out. I will be there for the bratwurst cook out. I will be looking for Shoop the chef. Not riding, working sat/sun in the area.

That is a long way for you to travel. We can also jump over into WV/PA at New Martinsville and do a loop and back into Ohio. I road east out of Proctor,WV on hwy. 89 Protctor Creek road last Sat. with the Wife and I can assure you that this would be fun at speed. Them 250 down to 7 west back to New Martinsville bridge is a thought.

Let's keep an eye on weather for next Friday and revisit this plan of attack first of the week. I will look at the road conditions.

No, next week Mon & Fri.

We still got time for another Ride!

You all are having way to much FUN! King Kenny, started training with the mini's back in the day According to Superbikeplanet, the three-time world champion had owned the ranch for about 35 years. What began as a practice track for Kenny and his friends and family eventually grew to become the Kenny Roberts Training Ranch. It served as a hands-on classroom for eventual championship riders like Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey, Kenny Roberts Jr., Rich Oliver, and Jorge Lorenzo. Roberts was still active in training professional Gran Prix riders last year, and the track saw regular use by local riders. Roberts’ dirt track training methods would also take root in Europe, where he won the first of his three consecutive titles in 1978. The Spanish site of the KR Training Ranch was adjacent to the Circuit de Catalunya, just outside Barcelona. World class competitors like Sete Gibernau and Valentino Rossi would hone their skills as teenagers on the dirt track. Eventually the advent of electronic controls such as traction control in MotoGP racing would render Roberts’ training style obsolete, but he will always stand as a pioneer in the field. In a 1999 interview, 500cc World Champion Alex Criville credited The Ranch with improving his performance on the road racing circuits. “Riding the Rotax singles at the Roberts school helped me stay calm and comfortable when the bike was sliding and helped me get the Honda NSR500 turned earlier and the power down earlier,” he said. “I was racing Mick Doohan on the same bikes, and riding dirt track helped me get on his level in spite of coming from a 125cc and 250 background.”

Had a great 160mile Sunday morning ride down here around Hocking. Got some shots of Vinny a new ADV-er on his KTM 1190 and I was on my V-Strom. 100_0256 by Vin Ride 2019_0009-0 by 100_0254 by Vin Ride 2019_0009-00-11-59-417 by Vin Ride 2019_0009-00-00-25-775 by
