Every year since 2006 some of the men in our family (and the occasional invited guest) get together for a weeklong motorcycle trip some place. Some of the places we have been BRP/Dragon, U.P. of Michigan, Berea, Ky, Little Switzerland North Carolina, Marietta, Ohio, OINK (SW Ohio/Indiana/N Kentucky), Virginia, West Virginia. Some have been so good we have returned to the same spots over several years
So this year (our 17th) we decided to try the Windy 9, in SE Ohio as advertised by the Athens Ohio Tourism board. Click on link for details

Our group this year would include myself (NC 750) my son Brian (Yamaha MT 10) my younger brother Randy (Triumph Bonneville T-120), nephew Roger who flew in from Nevada (CB500X) and my son's FIL Jim (NC 750)
We begin the trip at Jim's house with a group photo
the ride there was fun too incl on roller coaster 247 in Adams county
A stop at Cruiser's Diner aka the "Tin Can" for lunch.... home of the Hubcap Burger a 1# behemoth. We settled for the 1/2 pound burgers
Couple of hours later we arrived at the cabin we had rented for the week. We normally book a hotel for a base but thought we'd splurge this year
After that it was 5 days of riding some of the best roads in SE Ohio including Ohio's famous "Triple Nickle" Rt 555
So how was the riding? Honestly it was awesome. We could not find a bad road
555, 664, 56, 278, 374, 550, 676, 377, 78, 180, 677, 678 are just some of the great roads we were able to ride.. all well maintained, all virtually traffic free and nothing but curves. If you get the chance .........
