Headed from Portsmouth to the Luray area on Oct 12th. Want to get some forestry roads in while in the area. Nothing major, as it will be my bike's first trip off the tarmac and I am less than confident in the soft stuff.

All are welcome to ride/meet who may be interested.

Just let me know. You should have my #. It will be an easy road trip with mild forestry roads, as it is my first time off road with this bike. Not to mention I am more or less a dirt virgin!

Looks like I'm out, we're either loading up the camper and dogs and heading out tomorrow - or I've got to go fix my camp roof in Amherst County which means a pickup with tools and materials. Big branch fell and knocked a couple holes in the roof.

I was looking at a map, you should consider some closer areas next time you head out. Lots of fire roads in Nelson and Amherst counties (just south of Charlottesville). I took my Super up there last weekend and had a good time. And folks reported correctly - the abs and traction control are amazing. My camp has a very steep, grass covered slope and I could barely feel the traction control working but it allowed me to ride up no problem. It rained all night and coming down was a cinch - no cycling on and off like my BMW's. Great stuff.

I might be able to meet up with you, firedad. Are you planning 64 to 81?

64 to 33 and up toward Sperryville VA... lunch at Thronton River Grill around noonish. Then halfway over 211 there are some fire roads and some other treks we were looking at on the forestry maps.

OK, if you have room for one more rookie on a blue unfarkled machine I'd love to join you for a few hours.
I'll have to high-tail it home right about dusk.
