Yeah, most people haven't heard of Waynesboro. The way I explain it is I tell people go to Charlottesville, where UVA is and then west over the mountain. Waynesboro is at the bottom of the western side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Blue Ridge Parkway and the Skyline Drive Parkway is at the top of the mountain you cross.

It looks like an 8-8 1/2 hour ride just to get there, don't know if I can make that work. Oh well life goes on.

I'm looking into shirts, only problem is that we wont have them for a little while. If I can lock down a good deal I'll post a few ideas and the majority will rule. Have to work night before the run so I will be meeting you guys there around 9 or so.

Just rode the route and wrote the route plan. Street names and distances starting from the bear mountain bridge. I'll clean it up and post it later. It's a nice 60 mile loop. Those who road last year have already travelled most of it. Roads look good, and all is right with the world (at least my little part at this moment).

Wish I could go with you.

Good deal, now we have that side of the river down. Have a few spots on our side in mind that should make for a very good day, tight twisties, high speed, sight seeing, and plain hooligan. Looking foward to meeting up for this.

The adventure begins...

After the prerequisite bullshiteing at the top O' the Perkins, and a run or three on the Orange County side of the great river, those willing to venture east of the Hudson are forewarned to follow the following paths - the same paths rumored to have been trod upon by Ichabod Crane himself::

Cross the Hudson eastward across the Bear Mountain Bridge (Toll shall be $1.00 US)

At the end of the bridge (easternmost part) ye shall set your tripmeters to Zero (0).

Turn left onto Route 9D North for 5.4 miles to Snake Hill Rd.

Make a right onto Snake Hill Rd (This is just after a gas station) (This road has a nice 20 MPH hairpin) and go 1.7 miles.

Make a left onto Route 9 North and go 4.1 miles to the stoplight at the junction of Route 301.

Make a right onto Route 301 East (This is a high speed section with nice sweepers)

and follow for 9.5 miles.

At this point make a left turn onto Farmers Mill Rd (This is a hard left just off a really nice right hand sweeper so slow down...possible gravel here)

Take Farmers Mill Rd for 6.1 miles all the way to end (I love this road you will too) at the junction of Route 52. (There will be a school parking lot and this is a good resting point, and veterans of last year's run will remember this spot as where Saintly pulled out the auxiliary fuel tank from the saddle bag to refuel his FrankenChopper).

Make a Right onto Route 52 East (This is a somewhat boring section that will take you through a few lights and civilization) for 4.9 miles and keep your eyes WIDE open for the XTRA Gas Station because you will make a right here (easy to miss) onto Fowler Rd.

Take Fowler Road for about 1/8 mile and you will come too the unmarked junction of Route 301.

Make a right onto 301 East and follow for 5.1 miles (Nice high speed sweepers on a truly legendary motorcycling road in this area.) to Peekskill Hollow Road.

Make a Left onto Peekskill Hollow Road and follow this road for 9 miles. (Another one of my favorite roads with plenty of turns and dips...about 2.5 miles into this road you will encounter 2-3 zero G humps that are perfect for lofting the front end and other Isle of Mann TT antics) to the stoplight at the intersection of Church Road.

Make a right onto Church road and follow all the way to the stop sign and go across the intersection (Church Rd will become Cimmaron Rd and then becomes Sprout Brook Road) (At the bottom of the hill is a tricky left hand turn - be careful) and follow for approximately 4 miles to stop sign.

At stop sign make a right which is a continuation of Sprout Brook Road. Follow this all the way to the stop sign where you will make a right and really quick left. and follow to a light at the intersection of Route 9.

Make a left at light onto Route 9 South and follow to the circle (The same circle where Hammer71 has entertained the crowds with showers of Titanium induced sparks)

At the circle you will follow signs to Route 6 West/Bear Mountain and go approximately 5 miles back to the Bear Mountain Bridge.

Yup, they are here and bikes are up and running fine after a quick TPS reset. Got a little bit of seat time in before they had to set off and eat Should shape up to be a great ride.

Hammer and the Massholes (hey is that a band?).

Just got back from a quick 100mile run (to the office and back), and I am not frozen solid : ) I am hoping to get out of here around 5:30/6am so I get down to Bear Mountain around 8/8:30ish. All depends on how cold it is in the morning and how many times I need to stop. See ya in the morning.

Layer, layer, layer, statik. Put on some long johns, wool socks, fleece underneath your riding jacket, and a scarf to prevent drafts and you should be good to go. If you have a cat, you could always stuff that in your jacket too. Lil' bstrds give off a lot of heat.
