what Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'll probably just shack up in whatever roach motel I can find for Friday night, unless someone has something open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think 2talltim was planning to use the second bed) Trying to get from NEO to Bexley before noon then riding 250 miles looked too taxing for me. Instead I plan to take I77 to Parkersburg Friday after work and then take a more scenic route to Bexley in the morning. Probably take 16 in the morning. Craig Sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Looking at the map, I'd like to take 16 down to Beckley I think, probably Friday. Could meet whoever else has Friday available in Marietta and go from there if you're coming from the great white north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could meet whoever else has Friday available in Marietta and go from there if you're coming from the great white north. Lots of us did that in the spring. It is a great ride, and by far the best choice for getting down there. Not sure what my plan is yet, I may leave really early or I may go down to Parkersburg on Friday.

JustinNck1 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I got on 16 off 33 around Arnoldsburg/Milstone area on Thursday. It was decent pavement and the morning traffic wasn't bad. The further south, the better it gets. I may have changed my mind, and just go down 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Not to rain on everyone's parade, but the new river gorge area is going to be severely busy Saturday the 15th. That is "Bridge Day". So plan your time accordingly and expect bumper to bumper traffic around 60/16/19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alternative for the last few miles to Bexley in the morning. https://goo.gl/maps/FwJsgeuMJiG2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Were you confirmed by the church? I think that's the list he's going by. Like I'm on the maybe list because I went to catholic school but never took communion because I'm not catholic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 And with only 2 weeks to go it is probably near the time when someone will mention the 'W' word, or mention 'W' in general. If you do, you will be summarily shot in Beckley on Saturday. And if you manage to try and pair with my Sena before I shoot you I will shoot you twice.

Let's be honest here, if people are making this kind of trip, this far away, in the mountains. The words "Waterproof" and "Goretex" needs to be in your gear vocabulary. Regardless of forecast.
