Ahhh.... finally a couple of days without the incessant RAIN!
So - it's off to the country hills of Pennsylvania. Expect to cross the border at Fort Erie about 11:00 am - gassing up at the PetroCan. Meet there if anyone is also heading to ride the hills.
1 night in Tionesta and 1 night in Port Allegany
If anyone else is riding down there don't forget to wave!
From at least a kilometer away :D..... sorry couldn't resist ;)
have fun - we're off to Alaska by ship THEN hopeully the James Bay Road.
Will save Penn for cooler time of year.
ride safe. heading down next thursday for 5 days ....never crossed at kingston wolfe island ferry before, should be a blast.
I was done that way over the long weekend, and had a great time.
Hopefully you'll turn this thread into a Ride Report when you get back and show us some pictures.
Have a great ride!
I don't take pictures of places I've already been to.
I also can't upload pictures to this site.
I used to have a web page where I composed a bunch of story boards back in the day. Alas, lost the web site and am now with Rogers who give nothing.
If you know of a FREE place to send pictures and text then I'll post some stuff there.
Ride Report?
Wednesday Juine 1 - Amazingly windy - a ride to Tionesta, Pa down hwy 62
Thursday, June 2 - Much much cooler and windy as well - here's the rout from Tionesta to the Port Motel where we stayed Thursday night:

Would like to have stayed another day - but rain was forecast on Saturday - I don't ride in the rain unless necessary and a 5 hour in the rain is suicide unless necessary. I'll be back in a few weeks and complete my loop. Coudersport to Coudersport. So, Friday would have seen this route:

Gettin' ready for the next loop - maybe even next week - June 7 - 10.
well hopefully i can contribute with some pics when I return

This is a search for motorcycle trips in New York State. http://www.everytrail.com/browse.php...activity_id=21
Thanks for thatQuote:

That's sort of the idea.Quote:

I was going to suggest Picasa as a free photo hosting service, http://picasaweb.google.com/
I upload pictures three ways,
-using a web based upload tool,
-using their software called "Picasa" that I also use to organize my pictures on my computer, or
-via email to an online dropbox that I sort out later on.
Then I paste the picture into a post using image tags around the link to the picture, like this...
[IMG]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4x7atm-ocRo/TdsuXapCJaI/AAAAAAAARDs/cH0Ex_UP1Is/s640/P1300443.JPG[/IMG ] <--I left a bunch of spaces here so you could see the "image tags" When the tags are closed properly, it displays the picture like this:
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4...0/P1300443.JPG
Picasa is absolutely free, and works well with a gmail account.
Is that what you're looking for?
Yeah, that would be likely.
Thanks
I think I have it.... This ia a collage made up of pictures from route 62 to Tionesta last spring - oh includes a picture of Route 666
