MD South?

BlueTyke · July 23rd, 2009, 06:49 AM

I need to get out for a ride. I haven't been on one since the season started. With everything going on there just wasn't a chance. So I am thinking this Saturday of going for a ride.

I have been up North into PA but I haven't been South much, certainly not into VA.

I don't have a lot of time as I have some evening plans (most likely around 4 I'll be heading into PA (another reason to go south) for a Phil's-work-related-bbq dinner) I am game for waking up early though.

Any suggestions from 'down there'? Sam? Kim?

BlueTyke · July 23rd, 2009, 07:09 AM

Foamhenge!

That is so a Sunny place to go!

Perhaps that far south is a bit.. long for my plans that day but seriously I have to see foamhenge someday...

noche_caliente · July 23rd, 2009, 07:55 AM

Well, I think you should come down my way, but 5 hrs will be a bit much. Nick and Sam are further north and can probably give you better ideas

BlueTyke · July 23rd, 2009, 07:58 AM

Watcha doing Saturday?

noche_caliente · July 23rd, 2009, 08:20 AM

Don't have any plans that I know of

BlueTyke · July 23rd, 2009, 09:32 AM

Hummmmm.....

How far are you from the MD boarder? Meet in the middle?

noche_caliente · July 23rd, 2009, 12:09 PM

Look at waynesboro on google maps... That's about 2.5 hrs north of me and the start of the parkway which is beautiful riding.

BlueTyke · July 23rd, 2009, 12:15 PM

I could be there in like 3 and a half hours (give or take) traffic shouldn't be to bad early saturday right?

I would have to leave by noon to get back home though

noche_caliente · July 23rd, 2009, 02:41 PM

Since my dad is in Richmond, he suggested taking a bit of a loop down the BRP to Buena Vista, and then we could grab a bite to eat at the Hardee's in town or something - it's also convenient to the interstate. If we can make this work, hubby would be playing tail with the WRX and trailer, as I don't want to ride up I-81 on the bike from here - yikes!

This is what I was maybe thinking:

Here's a link with a time estimate close to your office...

BlueTyke · July 24th, 2009, 06:17 AM

Ugghhh I would feel much better doing this one if I did not have a time constrant to get back to Baltimore... >< that way I can have a more relaxing time of this...

You have any Sat/Sundays avaliable coming up?

noche_caliente · July 24th, 2009, 08:15 AM

I'm on vacation until 8/13, so I'm free pretty much whenever

noche_caliente · July 24th, 2009, 08:21 AM

If we're looking at another weekend, perhaps we could try for a mid-atlantic rally and do an over-night camping trip? With more time, I can definitely come up with a stronger route - these are the roads my daddy rides every weekend that he can

There are also two campgrounds on that loop that I went to at least once every summer with him for our motorcycle-camping trips

my favorite is Sherando Lake - instead of beach week when I graduated high school, some of my friends and I went camping there!

BlueTyke · July 24th, 2009, 08:30 AM

I have no camping gear what-so-ever... And it would be just me by my lonesome. Phil is saving his money for scuba trips.

I have plans on 8/8 (wedding I am attending) and then 8/21-23 I am in Ocean city...

noche_caliente · July 24th, 2009, 09:09 AM

so maybe next weekend? 8/1?

BlueTyke · July 24th, 2009, 09:33 AM

Next weekend. That may work. Leme double check with Mr. Budget to make sure I can afford it.

Though again I do not have any camping gear and even if I did have no place to put it

noche_caliente · July 24th, 2009, 09:41 AM

well, I do have an extra tent down in the basement - might be able to find another sleeping bag as well

BlueTyke · July 24th, 2009, 09:55 AM

Wow... The weather gods do not want me to meet Ninjette folks I think...

http://www.weather.com/weather/tenda...nav_undeclared

noche_caliente · July 24th, 2009, 10:05 AM

we can play it by ear and see how the forecast shapes up - it could end up better than that!

noche_caliente · July 30th, 2009, 12:55 PM

Hey Sunny

Tomorrow isn't looking so hot, but Saturday is only a 30% chance of thunderstorms.... whatcha think?
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/...ekday=Saturday

BlueTyke · July 31st, 2009, 06:02 AM

What time you thinkin of meeting in the morning?

noche_caliente · July 31st, 2009, 07:52 AM

I can make it up whenever, but 10ish sounds good so you wouldn't have to leave at the crack of dawn

BlueTyke · July 31st, 2009, 08:41 AM

So you say! thats still getting up at like six! Well maybe six thirty if I can talk Phil into springing Tyke tonight.

Wait where are we meeting? A particular place? Preff one where I can walk off some highway miles

Sounds good! I'll charge my camera!

noche_caliente · July 31st, 2009, 09:17 AM

SQUEAL!!!!! I am so excited!!!! YAHOO!!!! I think on the map I picked the afton mountain overlook on the blue ridge parkway - it's pretty and right at the start of the parkway

Do you want to shoot for a little bit later? We should make sure the other VA members know about it in case they want to join

BlueTyke · July 31st, 2009, 10:25 AM

No 10am is fine! If we went any later we would be getting home later and I would prefer to get home before it gets to late!

Sure the more the merrier!

noche_caliente · July 31st, 2009, 01:40 PM

Summary of Details for ride on 8/1:
Meet at Afton Mountain Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway at 10:00 AM
Ride South to Buena Vista/Lexington Area and grab lunch? Hardee's?
Go our separate ways, or hit some more twisties as time allows

Ok- so zoomed in version of the ride tomorrow:

noche_caliente · August 1st, 2009, 04:24 AM

and I'm out too! so excited to see Sunny today!

noche_caliente · August 1st, 2009, 05:29 PM

It was so great seeing you today Sunny! I had a blast

I'm sorry if I slowed you down too much on rt 60, but my dad said you did great on the other part of 60! I hope you stayed dry on the way home - we sure didn't.... when the road becomes a river, it kind of sucks!

BlueTyke · August 1st, 2009, 06:05 PM

I... am alive... Just can't feel my thighs... ><'

It was realllly great meeting you, your family, and Paul!

Your dad was great! took me allllll the way to 29! It was very nice of him. I hope I didn't slow him down! btw there is a reason why I say, and stick to, ride your own ride. Do not apologize. If it bothered me that much I would have asked to go ahead.

No rain but you know that traffic you spoke of :: glare :: Yeah that... Put an hour onto my ride home. My BUM is NUMB! I seriously can't feel it.

Plugging Zumo in to see my miles

Beat my prior record of 454 with.... drum roll please.... 511 miles!

Now I need a bath..

noche_caliente · August 1st, 2009, 06:24 PM

we took showers as soon as we got home too! I think I'm still a bit numb - I couldn't have done it with the stocker! And volleyball shorts + soaked textile riding pants = sever chaffing - yuck!

noche_caliente · August 1st, 2009, 06:25 PM

oh and if you or Paul are interested, here is the video of Chris's oops that he was telling us about

http://www.advrider.com/forums/showp...postcount=2883

Heck, I'm just glad I was able to keep up with my dad as well as I did on 60, even if Chris did ride off and leave us

BlueTyke · August 1st, 2009, 07:27 PM

Chris was waiting across from where you turned

Photos are on the computer but I am going to bed ><'

zzzZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz

noche_caliente · August 1st, 2009, 07:31 PM

me too! sweet dreams!

Momaru · August 1st, 2009, 08:45 PM

Very glad to have joined you both today and met you Sunny! I had a phenomenal time today, impromptu shower included. Long as I've lived in VA that's the first time I've made it out to the BRP, glad I finally did.

Despite the downpour on the way back, somehow all the gear in my front pockets was dry. I'm sure there's volumes more I'd love to say about today, but it's way past bedtime. G'nite ya'll!

BlueTyke · August 3rd, 2009, 09:06 AM

I finally got everything up! The ride report is in my blog... Two parter because I aparently had to many pictures!

noche_caliente · August 3rd, 2009, 04:35 PM

great blog entries! I plan to do the same if I ever get finished with this conference

BlueTyke · August 3rd, 2009, 05:36 PM
