Title: Anybody riding Black Friday?
Post by: davidhaynes on November 27, 2015, 06:33:31 AM
Short notice I know... I'm thinking of either some DS stuff around Blount County or a road ride to Cheaha. If DS I'll be on a 2-fiddy or a Triumph Tiger 800 if Cheaha. Some of the Blount County DS stuff can be tricky. Not for big bikes.

Reply here if interested

Probably leaving here (Blount Springs - near Hayden) around 9ish. Are you interested in riding to Cheaha? Where are you located?

Thinking you can meet me here at Blount Springs. Do you know the Empire Rd. out of Sumiton. I'm at the other end where it ends at U.S. 31. Here's a map:

Alternately, we could meet in Cleveland on at Alabama 160 and 79 intersection.

What time are you leaving?

Great ride today; sctparker and I had perfect weather, got in some good twisty paved roads and a few miles of NF gravel to boot; first time I've riden the Skyway since they paved the north end... NICE! :)

Great ride today, thanks for letting me follow. Apparently  the 294 miles wasn't enough so I went back out for another 161 , was trying to get at least 450 on the klr on Friday  but i went over about a hour into Saturday  guess I should have left earlier
