1 week until 2015 Staunton Spring Romp!

If you are joining us and need GPS information-Street Routes or Dual-Sport (DS) Tracks, send me a request and I will forward them.  Please specify if you need Street or DS.

Weekend Schedule

First, the weather forecast is perfect!  http://tinyurl.com/kxkndgz

Thursday 7 pm-gather in lobby to go to dinner

Friday 7 am-breakfast in the dining room  9 am-DS riders gather in garage for a ride 7 pm-gather in lobby to go to dinner

Saturday 7 am-breakfast in the dining room  9 am-DS riders gather in garage for a ride 7 pm-gather in lobby to go to dinner

Sunday 7 am-breakfast in the dining room  8 am-DS riders gather in garage for a ride

DS riders-I suggest you bring some water and food to eat on the ride.  We may find a restaurant for lunch, but maybe not.  There are fuel/gas options on the routes.

Please note that many streets in Staunton are one way, so navigating takes a little extra effort.  Here is a link to Google Maps to help with getting to the Stonewall Jackson Hotel. http://tinyurl.com/ncffsgy

Contact me if you need additional information. 

Looking forward to seeing you in Staunton!

We had 25-30 riders join us this year-about 20 dual sport and 10 street riders.  Big fun!

Some dual-sport photos.

A break to gather the riders.


Some ditch plowing.


Chain repair on guess who's bike?


Fast group waiting for the less fast group.


Friday lunch and gas refill.


Saturday lunch photo-compliments of Todd.
