Title: Heading off to Punxsutawney, PA!
Post by: Zwartie on September 27, 2012, 07:15:20 AM
The sun is shining and it's a balmy 4.7C this morning. Leaving London, ON with my sweety and a few other couples (ST1300, K1200RS, Stelvio, GL1500) and riding to Punxsutawney, PA. The forecast is pretty promising - sunny and cool. Perfect riding weather!!! Looking forward to 4 days of fun!

Got home last night after 4 days of great riding with our friends. Caught some rain on Thursday night heading into Punxsutawney but aside from that it was relatively dry. It really is true that the best motorcycle roads in Ontario are in Pennsylvania!!! Rode route 666 in the Allegheny National Forest yesterday afternoon and it was stupendous! More curves in 34 miles than I rode all season back home! It is one of my all-time favourites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Route_666 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Route_666)

Here's a picture of my wife and I at the Brady's Bend lookout - another great road!
