It's June  

[TigerTrax]

Hey guys..
There is a Holiday Inn Express  that runs about $80 in Pickerington.

We can meet there.. it's easy to get to.

I will be in Pickerington night of June 18.

Jim Price: Bolting in from N Arkansas

Jason & Tom: Coming in  from Kansas City

Perhaps: 2 riders from MNPLS/Madison

Tony Nader & wife dropping down from near Toledo....
probaly hook up with them along the way to Davis, WV.

Pull out morning of June 19 for Davis.

Jason... plot the route!
FYI:
I was looking at Route 256 out of Pickerington to New Lexington, OH > Hwy 37 East > Hwy 60 SOUTH to I-77 SOUTH ( Just North of Marietta).From Pickerington it's about 119 miles.

Take I-77 South to Hwy 47 East ( WV ) to Kanawha and Leachtown > MacFarlan >Smithville > Burnt House > Weston ( at Weston or Just EAST of there it becomes Route 33 East > Lorenz > Buckhannon > Elkins > haul ass to Davis  Approx 145 miles.

That could be a 'sightseeing easy ride'...

2 way radios.... Channel 7 no privacy code.

Hey Trax,

Can't wait to see the Tigers winding through West Virginia. Mine is still covered in WV dirt from a trip through the area last week. With all the hills and twists, the poor Tiger's claws are worn down to nubs . I ready for lots more of the best riding in the East (IMHO)!  Here's a link to some good maps, if anyone is interested http://www.wvdot.com/COUNTYROADMAPS/DEFAULT.ASP (http://www.wvdot.com/COUNTYROADMAPS/DEFAULT.ASP)

See you in Davis  

[TigerTrax]

You might give a shout to MUSTANG ... he and Laura are ridin' their
Black Steamers out of NH.....

Only 10 count em 10 days left till showtime ..................

[paulie]

i'm getting pretty excited for this!  my girlfriend will be accompanying me in the pillion seat.

i may have to stay on pavement though this time around.. we'll just have to see.  i was looking forward to checking out some of those gravel/hardpack roads i won't to do it with a pillion. no matter through, there seems to be a deluge of killer roads in the area, so i doubt i'll even miss it.  :)

looking forward to the campfire and good company!

[Mustang]

tigger's like gravel roads ............I bet you can do it even with a pillion !

[eldiii]

Don't worry, there are paved roads in WV that put the Dragon (US 129) to shame.
