These people were nice to post both printable tank bag map PDFs and the Gpx files for Nav Units.
It's 6 hours from me, but might make a nice 2-3 day trip worth it!

Pretty cool. I grew up almost due east of Athens on the river. I would love to get up that way with a bike. Some really good roads that I grew up on.

You might even talk the Ferret into joining you, offroad.

The Windy 9 is all in Athens Co. THere are many great roads in the area that won't show on that map. I've ridden all of them I think. We based the Men's Fall Trip and several other trips out of Marietta which is just east of Athens Co and hit some of the Windy 9. If youd rather ride those than my local roads when we get together in July? Let me know and we'll head that way. It's probably an additional 3 1/2 hours added to your ride over.

I'd be happy with your roads! I bet you can ride them with your eyes closed! Or where ever you want to go, I'm good with it.
I'll be back from Canadian Rockies July 7th......new tires, 18,000 service and I'll be ready to go!
My family is dragging me kicking and screening to Florida July 27th....so anytime in between.

It would be fun for me to show you my roads, and eateries, but I'm open

In the old days, people went to Florida in the winter to escape the cold. Then they went to New Hampshire and the Appalachian Mountains in the summer to escape the heat. They would never have gone to Florida in July!
