OK, the winter “I can’t ride” blahs have set in!
In an attempt to overcome those blahs I started thinking about possible rides for when (or if it seems) it warms again. The problem with long rides is that the wife and I started new jobs so we little vacation time built up, thus we need to stay close to home with weekend rides. I hope we will be able to get a week or so holiday so maybe I will be able to squeeze one, multiday long, trip in.
So here are some of the rides I came up with to lighten my winter blues (in no particular order):
Appalachian Waters Scenic Byway (Route 39)
Appomattox Court House, Virginia
Eastern Continental Divide
Complete the C&O Canal on the Motorcycle
Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
Home of real John-Boy Walton (more for my wife, HUGE Walton’s fan)
If we are able to get a week or so vacation I think we will try again to go to Niagara Falls. We were going to do that last summer but it did not happen.
OR…. Maybe we will head south and look for that retirement area where it might snow about one every 5-10 years!
I feel your pain, man.
Yea, even if we got a warm spell I would not ride. So much sand, grit and salt on the road it looks like you are driving on a dirt road including the cloud of dust.
Yeah, I get that… not so much here… although the last couple days have been really rough. Cheers!
Won’t be long now….I can feel it
Yup snow season is ending…. But pothole season is just starting. LOL
