Had a fun ride with two moto brothers from the great Canadian north down here riding the WNF area on GS1200. They camped overnight at Begley's Campground and we all three met up with a Ohio group and started a Adventure Ride. When the Ohio group broke off for lunch we continued on and before we went two miles the GS'ers wanted to "hit some trails" So we jumped on WNF Purdum trail to Dorr run loop and finished on the main over to camp Ohio trail then went on gravel, dirt, asphalt stuff till 3:30 pm back at the camp. We were finished, exhausted. They were great people to ride with. Another crap Video, No Music, 131.5Mi. 32.6 avg.speed 4:01moving time. 5:19 TT

I have not seen much posted on this site for adv riding in your area but you may try over here. http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/cincinnati-area-dual-sport-group.758808/ http://advrider.com/index.php?forums/gps-tracks-central-texas-gulf-states.39/ But please come back here and share your adventure with us.B.

Not when you back off the shot and see the full picture. Tell those who evaluate to eat a brown lunch bag of shit. If my toe is in between the lines it's called limbo

And the purpose of standing??

Jim, Sorry the weather is not going to be dry for your ride but I will be out on the back roads power sliding the wet gravel with no dust lofting the front wheel over the water puddles and catching air on the chip & seal back roads thinking about you. I hope someday you get an adv bike to expand the enjoyment of our sport. We are not getting younger. Stay dry my friend. Hope to ride the zzzzz's with you soon. B.

Just got this in E-Mail. FYI

Recent trip to the gap on my V with mitas E07 50/50 tires. busy day. 129 & 28. Sorry no music. I like the motor.

Rob, I have the equipment needed for this at my site. I will be around all week. Let me know if you would like to do this.

Just returned from the 14th annual V-Strom event at Iron Horse M/C Lodge. It's been awhile since I've attended this but this year many of the original (old) track gents from Barbers Motorsports park area came and it was like old times. Great weather and Riding for all. My new Strom with the 50/50 Mitas tires worked great. Road a little forest service roads but 90% was the good stuff. Nothing new to report down at the gap. The Mini Coopers were out in force but they don't take up too much room in the lanes and it was easy to deal with them. Standard Photo's

May I have a donut with mine

This Friday, May 6th. Looks good for a ADV Type gravel/chip seal and curvy up and down back road ride. The rain will be gone and dust should be minimal. I have a few routes that might be fun. Would the Gas station just north of Breman, Ohio at 664 and 37 be a good spot. Or Sunoco Gas station on Clear Creek road (116) and SR33 just north of Rockbridge, OH. I am free for this day. What tires are you running on your Versys? I think that Dunlop Sportmax and 17inch rims were stock on that model and they might be a little unstable on some gravel roads but that is your ride. Note: The Wayne Trail will be slippery as ice in spots so that's a no-go for me.

I might just do that, thanks for the offer. Looks like the Romney, W.V. ADV Camp and Ride is going to be a wet and soggy so I think I will (CXL) and just stay local and do a Saturday ADV loop route around the Hocking Hills area. The gravel roads will be dust free and great for power sliding.

Here You Go!. Actual Route. WNF Actual.gpx

We had a great time. A little dusty for the rear rider but only saw two dirt bikes and one ATV all day. Broke one foot peg, Replaced on the trail- 5min. A few low speed tip overs but the trails were the smoothest they will be all season. Did a drive by on the OR trailers looked all secure at the campground.

Trade the Daytona in on a Tiger. You are old enough to ride a Adventure Bike.

Thanks for the info Mud Monsters. I figured it would dry out fast with the lack of canopy cover this time if year. The wife and I road down to Pomeroy, Ohio for lunch at a cool place: (Court Street Cafe/Blues Bar). Everything is greening up fast. Hope to have photo's and Video of the Pig's on the Wayne trail this week. B.
