Men's Trip 2022 - the Ferret - 08-08-2022

Every year since 2006 some of the men in our family (and the occasional invited guest) get together for a week long motorcycle ride some place. some of the places we have been BRP/Dragon, U.P. of Michigan, Berea, Ky, Little Switzerland North Carolina, Marietta, Ohio, OINK (SW Ohio/Indiana/N Kentucky),Virginia, West Virginia. Some have been so good we have returned to the same spots several years

So this year (our 17th) we decided to try the Windy 9, in SE Ohio as advertised by the Athens Ohio Tourism board

Our group this year would include myself (NC 750) my son Brian (Yamaha MT 10) my younger brother Randy (Triumph Bonneville T-120), nephew Roger who flew in from Nevada (CB500X) and my son's FIL Jim (NC 750)

We begin the trip at Jim's house with a group photo

the ride there was fun too on roller coaster 247 in Adams county

A stop at Cruiser's Diner aka the "Tin Can" for lunch.... home of the Hubcap Burger a 1# behemoth. We settled for the 1/2 pound burgers

Couple of hours later we arrived at the cabin we had rented for the week. We normally book a hotel for a base but thought we'd splurge this year

After that it was 5 days of riding some of the best roads in SE Ohio including Ohio's famous "Triple Nickle" Rt 555

So how was the riding? Honestly it was awesome. We could not find a bad road

555, 664, 56, 278, 374, 550, 377, 78, 180, 677 are just some of the great roads we were able to ride.. all well maintained, all virtually traffic free and nothing but curves

What a fun trip to do with family! I really like the roller coaster 247 photo, and the action shots in general.

Looks like fun Micky! You can't swing a cat out there without hitting a good road! Looks like you had great weather too.
