The weather was absolutely perfect. Here's what I did...

A college buddy of mine rode down from Philly so we could go out for a ride. We had a trip all planned out two years ago but we had to cancel due to Katrina. He then had a kid last year so his wife wasn't letting him out of her sight. He rides a Vulcan 750 so I took BoboChrome out for the day.

Interestingly enough, Google's estimated time is about what it took us with a few stops to gas up and lunch. I'd estimated about 200 miles but turns out it was on the nose. It felt weird doing 211 on a cruiser and strangely I only saw 4 sportbikes on it. The weather was actually pretty chilly up on the mountain but it felt great given our current pattern.

It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Oh sorry... I didn't realize it started at 9am and lasted all day.

Apparently there have been about 5 businesses in that place in the past 7 years. Nothing seems to work out there.

It's kinda in the middle of nowhere for a place that large. The burger shack just down the road was doin some serious business though.
