Richmond Thread

Does anyone know of any rides going on this weekend? Or better yet, would anyone like to get together saturday? Anyone know a good route that will not be crowded?

You missed a good ride yesterday.  Still sore but will probably just take my lonely Triumph for a late lunch in Powhatan.

Saturdays tend to be thick traffic-wise but if you want a good lunch and some twisties farther out west, try http://binged.it/Mh4BcX You can come back on Rt. 6 if you don't want to just reverse course. This is near the brewery.  http://binged.it/Mh5oux

I haven't ridden the bit on Rt 56 between Buckingham and Lovingston since last summer, so can't comment on road conditions. On Rt. 29 there's an Excel station which is selling 93 non-ethanol BTW. See the picture so you know what to look for.

Where and when do you think you will be getting lunch. I was planning on riding out to Farmville, and then taking 60 back in. Maybe i can catch you on the way back.

For some reason I'm not getting e-mail notification from this thread. As it's 11:30, this probably won't reach you. However, I'll probably drop into Erin's ~ 2 PM and always park the bikes, Triumph in this case, out front under the tree. Have a good ride!

Farmville?  Must stop at Macados!

Aargh... I missed you. I was on he way back and was in that area around 2:30. We'll try for another time.

Sounds like some good eats. According to Google maps, i could take Genito all the way out to the fringe of Farmville. Are you up for a road trip next weekend assuming the weather is ok?

Had you ridden through town, you'd have spotted the bike.  http://erinsvillageeatery.com/index.htm

BTW, Farmville is not exactly my idea of a destination.  Took a long loop back which has some really good roads, not much traffic, and only one state trooper.  You could have returned on Rt. 711 which is a lot nicer than Rt. 60. http://binged.it/MlEMZp From Powhatan, Red Lane is also pretty good and drops you onto 711 as well.

Admittedly the weather is pretty changeable, but this early out, Poe's looks good for next Sunday. If the weather IS decent, my son will join me and afterwards we'll grab lunch up the road at Osborne Landing which has an OK basic menu but an absolutely KILLER Bloody Mary! So, see what the weather gods do..., and be there..., BOTH of you!

Send me a pvt msg on Friday.  I work outa town so my weekends are my only time to get stuff done around the house.  I'll just have to play it by ear.

I plan on being at Poe's (barring any major weather event). What time do you expect to be there?

Spoke to my son yesterday as he was driving back from the Bonhams Auction at the Greenwich Concours which he covers for SCM. http://www.sportscarmarket.com/ Seems he has to attend this, so can't make it to Poe's. http://theeleganceathershey.com/ I'll probably show up later then, ~ 10 AM.

Watch the weather though... One forecast has already switched to 20% thundershowers.  If it's more than 10% before Sunday evening, I'm not riding all the way down there. Fingers and toes crossed! The usual Triumph guys will likely show anyway and some may tag along to Osbornes Landing when the crowd breaks up at Poe's. I crave one of those spicy hot Bloody Mary's!  Would be nice to see a few more Ducatis. Turnout has been weak lately.

Weather is looking ok so far. Seems like it will be a hot one, but no rain. Hopefully the weather will hold out for Sunday.

Saw a red Monster in Bonair (close to Forest Hill Ave) this afternoon. Looked like a 2005, but not sure.

[Narflar]

Redline has a ride planned to Poes on Sunday.  Last time they got rained out so might be a good showing of Ducs.  I'll try to make it, I'm just not a morning person

Don't you just HATE "morning people"? Not fond of 90+F either, but...

Better set my alarm...
