Sorry I cannot make it as I have yet to replace the clutch in the DRZ.
Maybe the next go around.

[quote="wbrewer"]I am a noob, where is taskers?
From I-81 South, take the Woodstock exit (exit 283). At the top of the ramp, turn right and stop at the gas station immediately on your right and purchase a one day pass for Tasker's ($5.00). Then head east thru Woodstock to Rt. 11. Turn right on Rt. 11 (south). Turn left on Edinburg Gap Road (at a small Dodge dealership) and head up the mountain. The upper parking lot is at the very top of the mountain on the right (plenty of signs). The lower parking lot is the very next road on the right past the upper parking lot.

[quote="Marylander"]How about get there at 930? I'm fine with either parking area.
9:30 sounds good. How about we meet in the lower parking lot? We can warm up by riding to the end of the fire road, and then circle back towards the paring area on the lower trails.

Sounds like a good idea. Good luck!

If you have GPS you can use:
Entrance to upper lot 38.789110,-78.519413
Entrance to lower lot 38.782875,-78.512458
In google maps the parking areas are visible in satellite view.

Thanks for getting out for the ride guys. I've really got to get my hand issue figured out so I can do a full days riding at rocky places like taskers (ride more and with better technique is the real answer to that). The borrowed flexx bars seem to have done me some good as my hands and forearms are feeling better than they did last time.
The plus of heading home early is my wife bought me dinner. ;)
