I would like to go stretch my legs and have a leisurely ride down the dirty Skyway. I wanted to see if anyone had any interest in joining... I was thinking about meeting around 9am @ Edgars in the Colonnade, taking 25, across the dam into Tally, then over to Cheaha by way of the pig trail, Skyway down to Sylacauga, then 280 back into town.
If you are interested, lemme know...

big bike, yes. I am on a KTM 690 enduro. I've been with groups of guys on BMW 1200 GS adventure bikes...
however, not so sure I would want to take a sport touring v-strom. there are sections that are pretty rocky. and one giant mud pit to contend with.
