WHEN ARE YOU GUYS LEAVING FOR DOUTHAT STATE PARK, WHERE EVER IT MAY BE, LETS RIDE DOWN AS A GROUP!

[Jonesy]

Yuh - let's!!!

So the easiest way down is Rte 7 or whatever route you take to I81. About 125miles down rte 81 to I64 then 30miles alonf to Clifton Forge.

I am planning on a 3.5- 4hr trip so I want to leave my house in Leesburg at 4 or so in the afternoon rather than early am Friday - becasue I want to do the trail scout ride on Friday.

I have emailed the other blokes on the email Bob Steele sent out and two guys emailed back - one of them may leave Frid am though. One of them is up near you - Collin from Rockville teehee~! So what time will you get away??? I can wait a while in Leesburg, you can come down rte 15 from up there.

Is Hank going down on Thurs night??????

I M Leaving Whenever I Want On Thursday I M Going To Take It Off. So I Have To Set A Tent Up When I Get There So I Dont Want It To Be Too Dark!!! Lemme Know,

Instead of hitting I-64, you may look into taking Rt.42, starting in Bridgewater, VA, I-81 exit 245 (I think).

It's an extra 20 minute ride....But, you will miss that HUGE hill on I-64 that takes all your gas, and overheats your truck....The hill is about 4-6 miles longs or so....

Rt.42 is defiantly a scenic ride. But, you will get to see parts of VA you would other wise never see. You pass through some pretty cool little towns in the middle of no where. Rt. 42 will dump you out on I-64, one exit away from the Park.

Anyway, FWIW

[Jonesy]

where are you leaving from? are you in NOVA?

[LRR219]

still havnet recieved my "package" for the trip yet but i punched the park in on my navigation and says its four hours away....... OUCH to say the least, hope the classic isnt feeling to lazy that day, with that HILL Hank writes about!!!!

I'm not sure if I can make it or not....It's going to be a last minute decision.

No, not NOVA, off I-81 near Harrisonburg.

If "I" go or not. Either way, my truck will be there, at least for an hour. A guy from Tresured Motor Car will be re-mapping the ECU....But, I'm "on call" for my job that weekend. So, it depends on what is going on with my work schedule.

Looks like it is just you and me Collin - I can't leave Thurs until around 430 or so...and will probably take Hanks suggestion just for fun. Let me know if that timing will work for you...ps the nav is probably saying 1hr to this (Leesburg) side - cause mine said 3 hrs 10mins from Leesburg at speed limits.
