Skyline Drive 2012!!!

[dart1963]

Where: Skyline North Entrance 7-11 (for gas/coffee fill up)
711 South Royal Avenue
Front Royal, VA 22630

When: Sep. 1, 2012 (rain date Sep 8th)

Time: Meet 8:30 AM, kickstands up 9AM sharp

Who: All riders welcome. Posting up on the FZ6R and FZ1 sites, feel free to pass it on.

What: This is a chill ride down Skyline with a few stops for pictures. Skyline is beautiful this time of year when the leaves start turning colors, so no land speed records, just a chill ride. I plan on going down Skyline to rt 33 W, a couple miles down the road is a roadside diner with awesome BBQ. We'll break for a long lunch there, then everyone can split off and continue riding or head home.

I believe this is the GAS/BBQ place, but don't quote me (19625 Spotswood Trail, Elkton, VA)

hmmm, this may be a push for me....I have coworkers from out of town going to be in until 10 am on the 31st....I may try and make it, but it will be last minute for sure.

Is 711 South Royal in Elkton, VA also???

Have fun Don!!! I can't make it for obvious reasons, bike is out of commission for a while, and that is actually my anniversary weekend...so I have to pass. Definitely will have to hit that next season!!

it is in Front Royal. If you look up Skyline Drive, North entrance, it is the next light up from it, about 100 yards or so

Its a shame your not going to post pone....I would probably make the 8th! I really don't want to ride home throught the rain (its 8 hrs from here to there!). So I will definitely not be there.

@ Leem00 if it doesnt get postponed, and you want to check out the scenery near Dart.Id be down to follow you out that way in a couple of weeks if dart wants to meet up and go for a ride sometime else.But iv had alot going this month, had to move my sis home from out of state and crap.Id need a lil time to come up with my travel expenses.Maybe even change my plugs and do a early oil change before hand

 

[dart1963]

if I don't have plans... I don't mind doing Skyline back-back weekends... it's my chill ride near home, away from traffic...

I get a yearly pass anyways, so it cost nothing but gas/time to go again.

If you're coming from Indiana... I highly recommend coming out all the way via rt 50.... kinda long-slow and boring though Ohio and into WV, but about an hour or two into WV and it's downright fun (that's the way I go home and how we did our Indy trip last year )

little bump for a ride in the morning.

I'll be there bright and early
