I am giving the forum another try. I did not like the old forum very much, so I came up with this new system. I am going to give it a couple of months again and if nobody uses it I will delete it again!

Well, summer just will not quit this year! Yesterday Mark planned a ride that turned out to be quite excellent. We took a wrong turn but it turned out to be good because we found a very excellent road. 556 was very recently repaved and all I can say is WOW! It is going to rank in my top 10. When I realized we were going to be near Sistersville I talked Mark into running down there and taking the Sistersville Ferry across the river. This ride was worthy of pictures, so click here to see pictures of the ride. I took a exciting video of the ferry ride – click here to see it!
It has been a while since I last updated! There have been a few rides, but I did not take any pictures on any of them. I took a ride down 164 a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty nice. Last weekend Jim and I went down to West Virginia and rode US250. I really do love that road, it is pretty hard to beat. The next day Skidplate and I rode down and we visited Wheeling and checked out the casino, Cabelas, and rode around checking out the Christmas lights at the park.
I only had one regret in my trips to the Blue Ridge Parkway: I never got a picture of the “Sudden Curve” sign. Yesterday I searched for it on the internet and found a picture a guy had taken of this sign! Click here to see it! I think the sign is supposed to scare you into slowing down, but we just thought it was too funny! I found the picture at this website. It was kind of funny looking at his parkway pictures because it was just like looking at mine, but with different people in them!
Pretty crappy weather this weekend, so I have taken some time to add links to getting free maps. These maps are produced by the states themselves and are usually quite excellent. They are totally free and do not even require you to pay shipping. I have added this in the information section that can be accessed from this link or by clicking information on the side bar.
Yesterday I took a ride to Mantua HD for the pig roast. After that I took a ride into Cleveland and along Lake Erie. Click here for the pictures and the story.
I received my Deals Gap shirt in the mail, so I am pretty happy now. I have ordered a Deals Gap license plate – “129 DG”, but I have not received it yet. Some people thing I am going a little overboard with the Deals Gap thing, but I don’t think it has gone too far. Yet……..
