Setting up a 1000 mile ride around Virginia.
I will be starting from Fairfax, VA zip code 22039. Kinda sorta near DC. Can bunk quite a few if you want to stage before launch or crash after success. No charge.
Fairfax, west on 66 to 81 a wee bit south of Winchester. 81 down to Bristol. The western spine of VA. A wee bit back up 81 to 58 across the southern border of VA. 58 to the confusing interstates to Virginia Beach. Should be sweet scenic ride. Pick up 64, ride past Richmond to route 15 to Gordonsville. 15 to 20 to 3 to 95 near Fredericksburg. Another sweet ride, if you just like to cruise. 95 back to 22039.
Any man down will get brief attention, then be promptly abandoned. I am neither a mechanic nor a doctor. I just ride.
Google suggests 18 hours, which does not include pit stops for fuel and nose powdering. I think it can be done in less, having done such rides before.
Not good for socializing if you don't have helmet comms - I will have a Sena headset. No food stops. Unless a hurricane, no stops for rain. Having done this before, I can provide tips for travel snacks, hydration and dress if you need.
Thinking any Saturday in June. Depends on who cares to post. Happy to accept those who want to pick up and drop off along the trip.
Great chance to prove your sling is not just a driveway ornament.

Happy to and will ride alone if no takers. I ride.
