Tonik Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) We have ten bikes, we won't be adding any more unless someone drops. THIS GROUP IS NOW CLOSED. So it appears I am hauling a group down to the gap. The group is currently full, pending the two tentative peeps. If they drop I will have more room. @Casper @cmh_sprint @OsuMj @marlboro man @TimTheAzn @Blitz @Isaac's Papa @Howabusa @Cdubyah (Horararyarary Member) Current plan, subject to adjustment is to meet in Beckley WV at 3:30 PM Wednesday. I am leaving Clev in the morning doing a combo of slab and back roads down. Casper, Cdub and Tyler are leaving C-Bus noonish. IP is meeting me in New Philly on the way down. Wed 3:30 meet spot. BP at exit 42 and 77 near Beckley. 2001 Robert C Byrd Dr, MacArthur, WV 25873 Wed. Beckley to Marion VA via 16. 120 miles 3 hours or so. Short stop on the side of the road for the rooster farm. I love the rooster farm, it is epic. Wed Route: https://goo.gl/maps/Ww4DahB9LkA2 Hotel Wed night is Americas Best Value Inn 1424 N Main St, Marion, VA 24354 http://www.americasbestvalueinn.com/bestv.cfm?idp=1967&rcode=sim2016 Make your own reservations, get your own roommates if you want to share a room. No, I don't share rooms. I hate that. Thursday: Marion to Maggie Valley to Franklin to Fontana. 300 miles about 7 hours. Hitting 'The Snake' on the way to Maggie, then 212 and 209. Stopping in Maggie for the Wheels Through Time museum. After the museum we will decide on Franklin and the Cafe Rel. If not we will short cut it via the BRP to Fontana. We could split up if peeps have differing views.

Beckley to Marion is not slab at all. Getting to the Beckley meet point by 3:30 pm is 4.5 hours plus stops. So now that I think about it, it will be mostly slab. EDIT: Probably hop off in Charleston and get on 3 to Beckley, that is an interesting road. Edited May 4, 2016 by Tonik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm changing my vacation and rolling down with Jim Wednesday morning. I'll update @Tonik when I know for sure. Rooms appear to be $62/night, unless someone has a baller discount code that beats AAA. I may be down for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps the wife happy to see I am still moving. I will share with everyone, can be handy when meeting up like we are. If they are at a gas stop they can look me up.

I've had her call me when I may have stopped in BFE for a break and she wonders if something happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 That thought popped in my head last week when I ran my spreadsheet from the house sale. But even if the house sale didn't get cancelled I wouldn't be able to take the time off because I'm starting a new job 2 weeks before and the twins could possibly come as early as then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why in the world would I even consider taking the SS when I have a faster, more capable and luggage-ready bike? Because I worked 75 hours last week and I'm fried. Lol Why do you have the SS then?
