What can I say - if you didn't make it to Romney, you are square ::025:: Had a great time - all 6 of us!
It's been said before, but Kev and Larry and the crew at Romney Cycles are the best. They supplied a large grassed area for camping, a fire pit, 2 porta johns, an RV with a shower, and fed us chicken wings and pizza when we returned from Saturday's ride. After a long day of gorgeous West Virginia roads and scenery, Kev (the owner) welcomed us back with a shot of some West Virginian moonshine. Very smooth it was too...
I was thinking they'd be disappointed with the small turnout - not at all, they were happy to have us and are already talking about putting on another weekend next year or maybe Fall this year. I really like their business philosophy - there's no hard sell and no BS, it's simply that if they do right by their customers, the business will come one way or another. Their generosity this weekend is a good example of that.
Speaking of generosity, they are offering ~20% discount on Klim gear to forum members...

The ride itself took in some very twisty and tricky paved roads (Smoke Hole and Howards Lick) to some curvacious scenic-ness, a couple of interesting dirt sections, and of course we can't leave out the nice lunch on the Front Porch at Seneca Rocks.
No dramas at all, except for the 3 losers who managed to take "Lost River" too literally, and got themselves lost... We were soon reunited though, and I was happy for the excuse to run Howards Lick a couple more times.
Oh, and how could I forget breakfast with the lovely Kasey at Shirley's Diner? Say hi for me next time you visit - I'm sure she'll remember me!

Great weekend, great people all round - nice to put a real name to a forum name to a face!
John/Nittany, from PA
Tommy, Wee rider with plans to go Vee but I think has potential as a S10 convert. From Virginia Beach
Andy from Buckhannon WV
Jon/Dirt_Dad from Leesburg VA
Alan/twodogs from Ohio
And the bikes - a good range from almost stock to a variety of farkles from range of manufacturers. Alan, with the almost-stock S10, was madly taking pics of everything...
