Sunday, Feb 8 ride thru Singers Glen

Postby RocketMan » Sat Feb 07, 2015 8:37 am

Planning on going for a nice longish ride tomorrow (Sunday Feb 8) starting out from Warrenton Sheetz and heading out 211 to Broadway Va then down along 613 thru Singers Glen ( a very pretty valley road usually pretty quiet traffic wise as is 231 generally) to 33 then to 230 to 29 to 231 to 211 then back to Warrenton. Around 190 miles and 5~5.5 hours with stops. Leaving out of the Sheetz between 9~9.30 AM if anyone wants to join me.

Those extreme-sports kids today are good, but they have it easy. Try falling off of a motorcycle going 70 or 80 miles per hour on asphalt. Believe me, nothing equals it.

Nice day for a ride for sure. Started out a bit chilly but quickly warmed up and by 11 I had turned off the heated gear and shed a layer. Not much traffic and really didn't see many bikes till much later in the day. Al told did around 260 mile over 6 hours of riding.

I should have figured that not including either bacon or a definitive food stop would kill any chance of anyone joining, I mean who wants to just ride?? #-o
I had planned on stopping for some dogs and fries at the little stand in Sperryville but it seems it was closed. Roads were amazingly clear of sand and salt so I was able to move along nicely. Seems they were already planting this years crop of manure in the valley and one point I saw a sign on a small road side stand advertising "Fresh Produce", but from the smell I decided it was not the sort of "produce" I'd care for so just kept going. :lol:

Took some pics, the first four taken in Sperryville on 211 and the rest most;y along RT 613.
