Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Rides, Rallies, & Events Virginia Riders Stand Up And Be Counted

Boys of Old Virginia its getting to be that time of year when we need to start thinking about putting a ride together. We have rallies in the Southeast, Nor-East, Southwest, Northwest and points in between. We need to host us a Mid-Atlantic Rally! For a rally, Outlanders out in Luray is getting close to opening up their biker campground. It will have everthing for the biker, it's right on the Shenandoah River and close to all the good mountain riding. Even if not a rally we need to get together and do some riding, I'm getting tired of riding with other bikes all the time! So speak up, who are you and where are you! Lets ride!

If my girlfriend ever gets better, I'll be able to pick up my new (to me) TBA. Once that happens, count me in!!

In south central VA, up for something in the area.

Im also in South central Virginia and up for a ride or rally.
Later Tim

100 miles North of Norfolk, 120 miles east of the mountains. I'm up for either if you fellas can show me a road in the mountains with a speedlimit higher than 35.

Tim as long as we stay off Skyline Drive we have lots of nice twisties west of I-81.

Northern Virginia here, count me in.

August 30th sounds good to me. Lets try and all get together.

Don,

Let me know where you guys are meeting up and I'll grab a few of the Maryland boys and we can hook up with you.....

Gene

I'm in Richmond. Put my name on the list for any ride. I might be able to make it on the Aug. 30 if I can get out of some other plans .

Tim,
I was down your way for the AMA races this weekend (wow nice track)

Just throwing it out there, since we have people interested from point north, south east and west what about Anita's in Chantilly? its close to interstate for people to meet up and we should be able to pick a place to ride that will be satisfactory, Clifton/Princewilliam, Middleburg/and points west, Leesburg/purcellvile, etc. Any thoughts??

Northern Virginia here (Fairfax/Oakton) - I'm game.

I better be getting my new TBA this weekend! I'd truly hate to miss this gathering.

Anita's is certainly an option. I absolutely love the 1.00 Breakfast Burrittos. I was thinking about meeting at the Q-Stop on 211 (intersection of 211 and 229) say around 10am on the 30th. Ride would take us across Thornton Gap on 211, stop for gas in Luray, Stop for cig/dip break at Outlanders, shoot over the mountain on 615/left on 675 (tuns into 678) Ft. Valley Rd. ride that throught the park to a right on Mountain Rd, back to Front Royal, stop for gas cig/dip break again at the Citgo on the corner of 340. Take the shortcut over to 522 back to Flint Hill and have lunch and brews at the best English Pub in VA The Griffin Tavern (I don't even have to ask, I just sit down and they bring me a Boddingtons). After luunch 522 to 211 back to the start point. Anyway... my thoughts, I'm open to suggestions. Gene, would welcome you and the MD boys!

That sounds good to me.....

Cool. So is it def that we are meeting up on 211? Not sure where 211 meets up with 229. How far is 229 from Warrenton?

I guess the intersect at the ol' Q stop. Everyone who is going should just say I.

I

I won't know until Sunday if I'll be able to throw my hat, er helmet, into the mix.

211 (Lee Hwy) 229 (rixeyville rd) 10ish 8/30/2008

(*^%^%)&^!!!! I've got cracks in my tires that make me nervous for any long distance (or short for that matter!) I'm not sure if I cen get them replaced before Saturday. If so, I'll be there. If not, will I get shot if I put pictures of my America on the sides of my Harley tank and bring it instead? I promise to wear my Triumph shirt!!

Oh all right, ride the Harley then.

Weather permitting it's a go. On the 30th, meet at 10am at the Q-Stop at the intersection of (Lee Hwy) 229 (rixeyville rd) and 211.

Gene, it's several miles west of Warrenton on 211.

Just to keep this on the front burner... we are go. Everyone plan on meeting at the q-stop on 211 (intersection of 229 and 211) at 10am on the 30th. I went by Griffin Tavern today and let them know we were going to be there on the 30th.... they are expecting us.

By the way, all bikes and buddies are welcome. Lets go ride and have a good time.

I will be there with my bro-in-law and his speedmaster.....

Watching the 6 o'clock weather report and it's calling for rain here in the southeast on Saturday. How's it looks up in the meeting area?

30% chance of rain on Saturday. If it looks like the weather is going to be worse than that later in the week we can do it on Sunday. Lets wait and see.

I can't do Sunday so I'm hoping the weather cooperates Saturday. If so, I'll be there on one of the bikes (hopefully my America with new shoes!)

Sunday won't work for me, so unless it's pouring down i'll be there...

Agree with all, the latest weather report has Saturday as the best day anyway. The 30th is still the go date.

just looked at the weather again, it has rain for saturday, and 86 and clear for sunday.

I saw that... amazing how fast those weather people change their minds. In any event, Saturday still doesn't look too bad so I say we are still a go.

Its only 30% chance of isolated t-storms. I'm still game. That is your standard cya forcast.

I'm still planning on it as well although it'll have to be on the Harley (sorry, I expect plenty of ridicule!). I couldn't get in to get tires yet for my America but I'll bring pictures.

As long as it's not too bad here Saturday morning, I'll show up.

All in all the weather looks great. Partly sunny and 72 at 10am through 85 and partly sunny at 3pm! I'll see yall in the morning, ready to ride!

Me and my bro-in law will be there, ready to go. The weather looks fine.

I'll be there too
