Instead of Highland Scenic Highway it should be called Highspeed Sweeper Highway.

What time are you guys arriving in Marlinton? Due to the screwy nature of my schedule, I need to be in DC on Saturday morning and early afternoon. I'm plotting a donut involvement with the Bash this year as a result - one with a hole in the middle. So I can rejoin y'all late Saturday afternoon in time for dinner.

Well we may have to see the other bikers on Friday night.

I personally would rather not be pedaling up those hills.
