jporter12 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Sounds like a cool ride! Why all the wat to Mt. Vernon though? Martinsburg is where I'd start hitting the twisties! It's your ride though, don't let me bring it down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikera67 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 hope this works, here is the proposed trip, feel free to suggest changes, I haven't rode out that way yet, will update and bring printed final maps with me tomorrow.http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=283176 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikera67 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thinking about cutting out the mt vernon part of the trip and head straight to coshocton and running some roads out that way then continue on.So who is in so far. I'm working on getting another hour off so I could be gone from 10am to 5 pm, I like to stop and smell the roses, plus rest my back from time to time. We can meet at the AMA museum or my house, about 5 minutes away, easy to find.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stay with running up to Mt Vernon I'd suggest taking 586 out of Mt Vernon to Martinsburg and pickup 541 (it starts there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm in as long as the rain holds off. See you around 10 at AMA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Since you will be coming right past here, I wish I didn't have this thing called a job! I'd be ready to go, otherwise! (That's a lie, right now I'd be working on the VF500F in any time I have off.) Looks much better going into Martinsburg instead of Mt. Vernon. I have a smaller loop plotted out to take sometime that starts here (just outside of Johnstown, pretty much where the mapping programs put you when you enter Johnstown!) but doesn't go over I-70.

mikera67 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I packed rain gear just in case, even brought my dry top I use when white water kayaking, has gaskets in the arms and neck, hope I don't need them.I plan on doing this every wed., different trip each week, open for suggestions. Plotted a trip to port clinton, marblehead and any route that runs next to the lake, but mileage was getting up there for a 5-7 hour trip, plus that part of the state the roads are flat and straight for the most part, really wanted to take the bikes to put in bay, but not much to ride out there but it would be cool.Bike is a month old, got 2700 miles on Kelly(named her last night after the 3 kelly's I fell in love with from afar in high school, wife's not pleased but not surprised either) hope to double that before the seasons out(kids back in school, then no babysitter for the youngest, no day rides for me after august).Looking forward to the ride, cmon Julie, I know you have the day off, and moose, thanks for riding with the wife and I a few days back, can you manage a trip with us tomorrow?Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
