Pauly Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Sunday, May 30!! I am planning on zooming my way to Hickory House, in Weston WV this Saturday. I will leave my house by 7am. I am open to adjust my standard route to accommodate anyone looking to join me. I can stop in Bolivar at 7:30, Cadiz at 9:00 or New Martinsville at 10:00. I will take a sanely-spirited pace there and back and will be shooting for a noon arrival in Weston. This will be a fun ride and the food is pretty tasty. Amanda wants spicy pickles so I am determined to bring some home for dinner. The route will be twisty and the rest stops short and infrequent. I plan to keep the pace below incarcerable speed so if you are concerned about that... don't sweat it. I will not be stopping at any of the aforementioned towns if I do not have confirmation that anybody wants picked up along the way. Don't expect me to be there if you don't chime in and let me know you are coming. However, if you want to zoom around all day on bendy roads and enjoy some tasty vittles... hit me up. https://www.lovehickoryhouse.com/ Edited May 28, 2021 by Pauly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I did that in FFA back in Jr.high. It helped framed my young understanding of the VaVa. I wasn't a farmer but they let me cut grass at the school on a riding lawn mower for credit. I think we hacked off some baby pig nuts also. Wife and I are riding to Fredricksburg, VA. on Sunday with a return on Tues for our Holiday ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted May 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Amanda can show you. Edit: I realize this comment might be construed as inappropriate in nature without context. She is in vet tech school and eager to earn her VDM. She is aiming to land a gig taking care of cows and livestock. Kitties and puppies just aren't her bag, baby.

Pauly Posted May 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I am still planning to ride on Sunday. Anybody that wants to tag along is welcome to meet me at the DQ/Marathon station at Exit 93 off I-77 in Bolivar at 7:30am. I will be rolling south to meet another rider at the intersection of 83/93 by 9:00am. Lunch stop is planned for the bottom of 800 at Riverview Diner, in Fly, OH. We will be taking all the twisty roads to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ended up planning to lead a small group down the loop past the muskie. Leaving out of Canton @ 8:30 pace will be more subdued compared to the OR pace. We may pass each other down in the 26 area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode through there last week and they had the signs blocking the road and equipment offloaded. Not sure what they had planned or if it is finished. Just a heads up. Maybe @Killer_kaw can expound for us? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means I'm leaving my place at 7am. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1i9hBvfPuwmLc3qtd1SHEWEI7AAMM14gq&usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
