turtlecreek Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I hit the usual places around Leipers Fork, TN today. I tried out my little camera to see how it recorded on the video. Not as good as my JVC mini DV unit, but for 10 minutes of quick film, it worked great. Enjoy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks for taking me along for the ride. The roads look nice and clean! You don't want to know what they look like up here... although I'm going to ride to work tomorrow anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baileyrock Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Wow, running stop signs, double yellow passing and Skuuter crawl Pace. What a Hooligan :unsure: ! :lol: That first stop sign was Bailey Rd and the second was at Brooks or Dunn's house, clean nice pavement. I got 250 plus in yesterday, wet roads in the morning, but no rain. When I got up this morning and it was 60 degrees at 6:30am I started feeling sick, but had to go to work anyway! :P Thanks Dale, never been on the first part of that road. btw it's 69 right now! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzed_viffer Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thanx for that! :thumbsup: It reminded me of Noo Zilund in places, apart from you riding on the wrong side of the road, and that silly double-yellow line everywhere! (Here we have yellow lines only where it's genuinely unsafe to pass, and then only on the side of the road it applies to, so double yellows aren't very common).

Baileyrock Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I did a clifton,waynesboro,hohenwald loop yesterday thought for sure I would get wet even took raingear but lucked out. What ??? That's my favorite loop out of Pucketts. Only got as far as Holenwald yesterday because one of my buddies said the Titans game started at noon!!!!!!!!! <_< Otherwise would have ran down to Clifton.

That first road out of Liepers Fork toward 96 is what I take home if I'm in no hurry, then make several turns onto other roads (I'm terrible with road names, I just know where I'm going)...if I gotta' be back I just rip 96 out to Franklin, right onto Arno Rd., left on McDaniels Rd., right on Cox Rd., right on 41-A, then straight to my house (or Wife's store). Last time I left Leipers Fork, I ran Arno Rd. full length, then right...kept making turns, until I finally came into Flat Creek and Lynchburg. It was 73 here yesterday.....kept feeling a "virus" coming on, but didn't give in to "it"..... :wub: Lotta' great riding most all year where all of us live. Just watch out for that "BR guy" down that way, and if you're ever down at Pucketts on Sunday morning in your truck, always bring your gear, there's usually a VFR that's easily "accessable"...........I almost took it for a ride one morning, but didn't have my gear.....

Member Contributer Bent Posted January 12, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted January 12, 2008 Same thing you do in Huntspatch. Pick out a ride for Sat. and Sunday and just do it. Saturday is planned and mapped and Sunday is still up in the air. High in the high 50's and mostly sunny. What else could one ask for? :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
