April 13, 14, 15 of this year. Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Easter is on April 16.
Franklin, WV
Accomodations: Thompson's Motel 33 US Hwy 220, Franklin, WV 26807 (304) 358-2331
No cell service in the town/motel. Get a motel room that's upstairs and faces the back lot. It has a front balcony overlooking the front lot but you can park at entrance level to the 2nd floor in the back lot.
I'm going (as long as I have my bike back together), Gene is going, Gene's nephews are probably going, and I think a couple more people so far. Gene and I will compile some dual sport roads in the area for riding around on Friday/Saturday. We've ridden over there before and I'm sure many of you have, too. There are views, quaint little towns, twisty asphalt, forest roads, and some trails.
This will be a 650 capable type ride.
I intend on arriving Thursday morning and doing some riding that day, but I think the majority of people will arrive Thursday evening because of work or something like that.
I have been having problems with the server running out of resources and giving errors. It is better but I'm still getting some periodically. Please report any you get to me at ken@kyler.com.

Re: Franklin, WV area Dual Sport ride
That's a great area. Its been a while but MDubya used to run some amazing dualsport/supermoto rides out of Oakland Md and I remember stopping in Cass for gas and snacks.
Tempting. I could maybe do Thursday and Friday... But I'm probably dreaming.
Sounds like a cool ride.

Sprint built a tower down there. Full 4g LTE in town and about 5-10 miles out.

Re: Franklin, WV area Dual Sport ride
Back to the top for this. The trip is next week!
So far, 6 people going. The current plan is two days of dual sporting on Thursday/Friday, spending both nights in Franklin, and then riding Boyer's Farm on Saturday.
Anyone else want to go?
