Love the panoramic shot with the rolling hills.

Right now that is Founders Sessions All Day IPA.

Then there is Torpedo IPA.

The entire state of Ohio could be submerged, and we would still be 'high and dry' in Idaho.

IPA is my favourite profile. My local go-to is Fat Tug, by Driftwood; 7% ABV and 80 IBU. Lovely! http://driftwoodbeer.com/beers/fat-tug-ipa/

I've yet to try Torpedo. Somebody just recommended it to me last week. Is it quite hoppy?

Oh yes, quite hoppilicious

Got out today for a while. Left home around 11am and slabbed an hour south o I77 just to below Canton. Then zig zagged SE towards East Liverpool basically, looking for the dirt and gravel.
No real route planned at all. Found plenty of great roads including some dual track through wooded areas. Knew what the weather looked like and didn't care. On way home right at dark and on cue, temps plummeted and cold rain and sleet. Stayed warm and dry with the heat cranked. Always sucks trying to see in shitty weather tho. Got home around 7:30
Stopped and took a break near Leesville Lake. Followed a trail into the woods quite a ways. Was nice and peaceful

at the Lake

Was on a dirt road called Blue Ridge a while and came across this awesome old cabin

followed another trail

Thanks for posting the nice photos. I'm glad you guys back east are still having nice weather.

We have had a very cold November in East Idaho.

Lee R · 11-22-2015, 09:29 AM

It's been a really warm November on the east coast. I went riding yesterday and it was 44 degrees. Probably going to take another ride today although it's in the upper 30's but no snow yet.

Weather extremes are crazy lately.

Weldangrind · 11-22-2015, 03:10 PM

The trails through the trees look like terrific riding areas. Love the old cabin with the bicentennial flag.

Thanks for posting the nice video.

You fellows in Ohio are lucky. We had 6 inches of snow on Thanksgiving morning.

Danimal · 12-06-2015, 09:12 AM

met 5 other riders from ADV yesterday and burned up some fuel.
Morning weather advisory was a new one on me...freezing fog
Started at 33 degrees in heavy fog. Was covered in ice crystals at one point.
Here's a video from the ride

So my first multi day trip is this weekend.
Who wudda thunk that my first trip would be in Freaking December???
Supposed to be near record high temps Sat.
Friends camping the weekend in the Wayne National Forest have asked me to join them.
Supposed to be incredible dirt and gravel in that area.
So will ride the RX3 to work Friday and leave for S Ohio after work at 5pm. It's about 3-1/2hrs on secondary roads so I should be at the campfire with a brew in my hand by 9pm. Then hopefully awesome forest riding all day.
Many pics to come. Will be a great test of the new seat
