Oct. 24  VA-WV RIDE

[Dulimon]

The weather for the riding area looks great...Temps ranging from mid 40s to upper 60s with a 14-12% chance of rain. SO lets get this going as far as route, meet & greet, start time, riders. Being somewhat computer challenged or as some members would put "right click challenged

" I tried to post a map last night of the routes. (No luck) Similar run sage went on last week but, one long route and one short. The times are a estimate, so here are some routes and any feed back is welcome. We have no pre-ride estimate so lets take rest stops, fuel, food as we need them. So any and all lets get organized and make this happen. Winter in coming...BTW- The roads will have tight twisties and blind corners so be cautious and ride within your limits.
