Shoop, it's def on the cool side....at least the sun is shining, and I can't resist getting the bike out. Where you thinking to meet up at and what time ?

Shoop, I'm out for Saturday, I signed up for overtime Friday and Saturday nite after looking at the forecast. Sunday looks to be the better of the two days for weather so far. If you guys go out Sunday let me know, id be game for a ride that afternoon.

Chris, I'm still in for Saturday's ride. I can take off anytime you guys want, but my day will have to end earlier than originally planned due to a Halloween event for the kids that evening. I'm looking at being home around 3 or 4. I just figured on tagging along then breaking off whatever time I need to and head home. As far as routes I'm game for anything, the loop you posted looked good to me.

Shoop, sounds like a plan to me. That would be great if your buddy can go, the more the merrier. I was wondering if you had any preference on Saturday or Sunday. So far either day will work for me, and if you had a route in mind. I'm open for anything

Hey Lenny / Jack   -   Welcome to the forum, neighbor!  I live in Wildwood on south-side.

 

Yes, we'll have to go for some rides. However, I have a huge deadline for the end of the month so my evenings and weekends won't allow for anything more than a quick spin. After October I'll have time and would love to go on some medium/longer rides, but it will be November then. So I'm hoping for an indian summer.

 

My next door neighbor rides and is a local so he's shown me some great roads since I got back into riding last fall.

 

I too like 555 and I've run the southern part many times. I usually run south to north. I'll have to go the other direction more often. I also like 21 in WV from Mineral Wells to to Ripley or a bit farther to Kenna, then, 34 (I think) to Fairfield. Twisties PLUS views and the elevation changes you get on mountains. Well, what we call mountains here in the east.

 

I highly recommend the Epic ride. The fall version was great the other week. It was very well run. The three groups ran safely and the conversation, before and after was great.

 

So. how about we try to get together in the first weekend in Nov? I'll check if Bill, my neighbor, might be able to go too.

 

Chris 

Shoop id be game for a ride the first weekend of Nov.  Im scheduled off that weekend and provided the weather allows maybe we can get something put together.

That's a good ride there, I work in Parkersburg, but live in Coolville, so I like to ride 555 and 550 on my way home from work. Welcome to the forums!

JN1 i always enjoy riding the section of 555 from rt 7 to Bartlett, but anytime i can slip up to 78 i do. Probably one of my favorite roads. Next time id like to go on out 78 and bring 377 back to 550.

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.

Thanks for the invite, i cant make it though im working.

I can do that for ya. Pizza Place, guaranteed gut rot but it is good.

lowcel im on north end, ive always lived here

lowcel that worked, thank you

Hey thanks guys, ill have to try to look him up sometime. Made a little loop in Ohio myself yesterday, around 115 miles.I took 550 to 329,then 13 up to 78. Turned right off 78 onto 555 back to 550, then headed back to Parkersburg.

Hello, new here to the forum. If anyone's around my area give me a shout, I'd like to tag along sometime on a ride.
