I base out of Marietta an ride from there. As some have suggested it is great riding in any direction from there. I have done many trips down as it is close and don't take a long time to get there. If you never been down then you are missing some great riding.

I haven't posted a big ride in awhile so here is a brief outline of what I was doing. I started out with a bud to head to the Dragon for the night. The next morning head to Dallas for the night as was going to meet up with some friends in Houston for lunch the next day. After lunch would...

A good friend of mine has been running around south America for the last 8 weeks. He has been in every country and now starting a long ride from the bottom of South America to the Yukon. He is making it an IBA ride. This is a small video of one of the 7 wonders of the world. It is quite the...

Seeing as I just got back from U.S. Eastern trip last week and have a bit of cash left, was thinking of doing 7 or 8 days starting in Ohio - Kentucky (boone forest ) then dragon area and zig zaging back through mountains to Buffalo area. Would be a very swift ride each day starting at 8am and...

TO to Kingston and Ferries to States - 1st one is fairly large and second one is small. Was rough water going over and had to hold bikes from falling over. Rained till we got down to just below Water town. As soon as we hit twistys was no rain and all roads dry. Was good way to end the day...

I have written about the South Eastern Ohio & West Virginia area before. It is half the distance to dragon. Has to many nice roads to ride. So if looking for an area to ride for 4 or 5 days, head down and enjoy the roads. They are just as good as the dragon area. I have done 3 small trips this...

This is the route of what we were doing on this trip. I won't bore you with a lot of writing. Just a few comments and Pics. We did approx 8,000 Miles in 14 days. 2 days to Colorado so no real pics. Next day is Mtn Evans at close to 15,000 feet. The Highest paved road in North America...

Another ride in the bank. Got a bit wet from Parry Sound to Sudbury. We started ride and air was in the low 50's. Not long after we left it dropped big time. Was as low as 36 F for some time. Good thing I decided to take my winter stuff. During the day we happened to see one black bear - one...

I am heading up on Sat /28 to Bala area and some very nice roads. If you want to join me I will be leaving from Tim Horton on Shepard at the 404 (just east of 404) Meet up at say 8am and leave by 8:15 I will take 6 to 7 riders with me. This is not a noob or beginner ride. You need to have Hwy...

Spent 4 days in the area with my buddy. It is half the distance to the dragon. Make a base camp in Marietta. You can ride for 6 hrs to Wheeling & spend the next 4 hrs or longer in the twistys. The roads are unbelievable. Just as good as the dragon area. Is tons of twistys and hills. You have to...

You can check the link on what it is http://www.moonshine-run.com/Moonshine/mlrss1k.asp We were hungry to get a long ride in and this was it to start the season. My riding partner and I set out from Downtown TO and had to actually start ride in Buffalo. There is routes set up that have to be...

What can I say but WOW - A ton of insane roads. If you have never been - then you need to go check them out. Had just as much fun as doing the dragon and surrounding area's . If anyone tells you Ohio is flat - tell them they don't know what they are talking about. You just need to know where...

Located in the Finger Lakes area Took a run down here Saturday - was a boring ride down and back - but once you get there it is a great place to go check out. From door to door - 800 k Now if you have more time you could explore around the area. I should have made it 2 days to check out the...

Sat my buddy and I did the lake Michigan Iron butt ride starting near Flint MI. We left on Friday and stayed in Imlay city. Got wet going out Friday - but by the time it stopped and we continued on ,we were dry by the time we got to border. Took us around 18 hours or so. Some nice scenery but...
