Rain again
Seems like every time my friend and I plan to go on a motorcycle trip it rains. Did want to leave Monday rain so pushed off to Tuesday. We are thinking about going south, seems like the last two years it rained south had to go north NY, Maine up that way. Hope we can make it south this year. This is how we do it, pick a day to start that's no raining then a direction that not raining that go. We put on 300 to 500 miles a day depending on how many times we stop for a beer. We do all back roads when we can. Wake up in the morning look at the weather and that tells us which way to go. Like I say been trying to go south the last few years just bad weather. We are both retired and are no time line just want to get 5 or 6 days out.

Getting 5-6 days of clear/no-rain weather is asking alot. You have a touring bike...load-up the rain gear and head out. If you run into light rain - suit up (you're not going to melt) & if it gets heavy - find a place to wait it out. If you continue pausing rides for weather, you're never going to get these trips in...IMO.

Looking at weather for the week in the south of me looks ok. leave Lancaster pa Tuesday morning head to the Bay bridge into Norfolk Va than to some Town called Henderson Nc stop Or could change between Norfolk and Henderson. Next day Hillsville Va pick up 775 to97 89 18 get on the blue ridge pw along the way to Maggie Valley stop. Thursday back up to WVA some place stop than home Friday. We don't like to be out darning the weekends. By the time we get home maybe 1600 miles or so.None of this is must do so things will most likely change as we go.
