Howabusa Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I am hoping to go riding, soon. The wife goes to her surgeon on Friday the 28th for her first post surgery appointment. Hoping to go riding Saturday, 9/29. Anybody interested in riding then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durk Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 No suggestions here really. I’m coming from way up in NEO. I’m used to riding a ways before I get to anything good. I’m game for whatever for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gpaw Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 I'm riding on Saturday just not sure where. I really like the wv ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoop Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Geez, still no plan? How about this one? I'm from farther south and do not typically get this far north on a day ride. I know that you NEO guys hit these roads often, so please suggest something better. For Kent's benefit, I suggest that the route should be shortish and have options. Start in New Philadelphia at the Sheets/Long John Silver parking lot on West High Ave. Arrive at 9:30. Drain the tank, fill the other tank, and be ready to depart at 10. Take 250 to Wheeling , then WV-88 to bypass the straights along the river. Continue on 250 to Cameron WV. Then return on 25 & 17 to Moundsville. Then 54 to 239 to 147 to 149 to 800 back to the Sheets in New Philly. WV-17, Fox Ridge Rd looks a bit narrow and rough on Google maps, but it's got a lot of curves and views. https://goo.gl/maps/BGctcBA7TTD2 That's about a 5-hr loop, probably less. Most of you guys that have chimed in will ride about 2 hours to get to and back from New Philly. Leave the house by 7:30, home by 5 - unless we have a meal at New Philly or along the route. For a 6-hour loop, we could extend past Cameron to Hundred, WV, then take 7 back to New Martinsville, then 536 (yeah!) to 78 to Woodsfield to 800. Home by 6 or 7. https://goo.gl/maps/fgvhmpTqMm42 I will PROBABLY be going. Not certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howabusa Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 To make New Philly by 9:30 I would have to be on the road by 7:30. It will be too cold for my taste at that time. I am out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 My last trip was down WV250. I’m going to head towards Marietta is my guess if it’s not too cold. Have fun gentlemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
