The Barber Vintage Festival is the weekend after that. Not sure yet I can do both.

I'm not sure how much involvement I'll be having with it. Saturday I'm sure I'll be working overtime and I'm not sure I want to schlep down there after a 48 Sunday morning on my only day off before turning to work on Monday.
I've been at least 5 times to this event and have always had a good time. However, between having to take leave that weekend and a general lack of money I think I'm out this year.

Well, tentatively. We have to see how Michaux goes first. She may have enough of me yelling at her to go faster and I may have had enough of her going slow....

The 650's are perfect for this ride. There is nothing hard about it. Its been quite a few years since I have been (I mentioned there's nothing hard about it right) but even the one option they have at the end of the second day is doable on a 650 if you man up. We used to ride the 650's there from Baltimore and do the whole weekend; but that's is alot of time and work when you throw in the camping. Its mostly just a nice cruise on some easy jeep roads in the GW forest and through the beautiful VA country side. The campground is very nice, the lunches are good, the locals are great and WATR does a good job.
Hey guys - it's been a while since I posted on here but was thinking I might try this even on my fat dirt bike and wanted to get some local knowledge about the difficulty of the ride. I've been riding my R1200GS like an enduro up in the trail system near State College and over in Marienville PA in the Allegheny. Given that experience, is this more or less of a challenge? Are there any gnarly rock gardens or difficult steps that would hard for a bikapotomus or is this a big bike friendly kind of affair?
