Blitz Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hey guys,I haven't been out in over a month and I need to change that, since apparently winter starts in three weeks.I'm planning to ride tomorrow. Route is pretty flexible, but I'd like to go South of McConnelsville. Some great roads down there. I can meet wherever is good for anyone else wanting to join, but Millersburg tends to be a good place or McConnelsville, depending on where everyone is coming from.Post up and let's put something together. Weather should be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I might be able to make it out. Depends if I get this stupid Helibars install down today. These have been a royal pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heagachongoose Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hmm. I'm about 2 hours southwest of mcconnelsville. I might make the pilgrimage, weather dependent. What time you thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Well, probably meet around 11 and head that way. Let's say 11 o'clock meet up at SR13 and Route 70, at the BP gas station. That should put us in McConnelsville around 12:30 (probably sooner). We can meet at the gas station next to the shelter house next to the river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Probably take 377 South out of McConnelsville to 550 and hit some roads around Marietta that Tpoppa showed me. Some epic riding down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'd there pending a downpour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Obviously, I'll be a be a bit slower than you, James, but if you wait for a bit on the road changes, that'd be great for me. If it's too much of a pain in the ass, I'd be cool with knowing the route and catching up at gas stops.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 No big deal man. I wait for everyone at the intersections where the route changes roads.I'll look for you in the am. But I'm watching the weather. They're saying 50% now. I'll check before I head out and if it's wet or looking like it will be, we'll try again next weekend.

Heagachongoose Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 No problem. I ended up all over the place. Ran up and down 555 a few times and hit some other goodies out that way then made my way across and down into West Virginia. West into Kentucky and then back into Ohio. Give or take, somewhere around 13 hours of good hard riding on some awesome roads. 790/775 are still my favorite roads I have ever been on though. Finally made it onto hannan trace. Excellent road. Ill be hitting that one quite often now. Just a great area there. We will have to meet up next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hey, Dennis, it was great to ride with you. Feel like I went to FJR school! You certainly know the good roads down that way, thanks for a great route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
