This was my first trip to Bike Week and I learned a lot. It was not at all what I expected. The featured event is motorcycle racing and I didn't know that, and I never saw a race!! The main races were on the last weekend of Bike Week, March 9-11, and I left on March 8th. Poor recon on my part. They...

This is one of the nicest rides I have been on in Virginia. One hundred miles of beautiful riding without riding on an interstate or going though a town and at 35 mph!!

aa27.jpg The forecast for Tuesday was for a temperature in the low forties and bright sunshine. The first sun in awhile, so I thought it would be a good time for a short ride up to Gore for some pie. I suggested we leave at 1:30 pm and we should be back between 4 and 5. But I opened it up to the gr...

Best way to beat the crowds and lines at an all seasons ski resort if go when it is 66 degrees :lol: I had seen a lot of advertising for the Massanutten Resort so I thought I would check it out. You had to feel sorry for them. They were fully staffed and no customers, sixty six on December 3 :roll:...

Well, today's choice was ride to Hayfields Restaurant in Gore for pie or ride to Linden to the Apple House to sit by the nice warm fire. WHY NOT BOTH!!

We are living on borrowed time. One more beautiful day to ride in NOVEMBER :!: I had not ridden any of the West Virginia HIGH 5 in a long time. In fact, before covid.

November 7 and the forecast is calling for a high of 78! :o Surely the highest temperature we will see for quite awhile. On short notice Cliff called a ride. At the time he called the ride he didn't know where we were going, but he didn't care. He just knew we had to ride. Five made the quick call....
