Just in time for Christmas, I've completed a 2017 calendar to grace every Rider's garage wall next year, especially if you like vintage BMWs. Its titled Vintage Beemers and Beautiful Women. It features 5 vintage/classic BMW motorcycles, one sidecar and 7 beautiful models on thirteen monthly calendar pages, starting with December 2016. Its not expensive and can be previewed and bought at the link below. World wide shipping of the printed calendar is available, and there is also a digital version. Three of the bikes are mine, but the models are pros! I do ride the bikes so you may spot the them running the roads of Ohio. Help out by buying this calendar, and I'll know there might be interest for more future versions, even perhaps a "faster" one i.e."faster = "racier!" 2017 Vintage Beemers and Beautiful Women

One of the best riding roads in the state has to be the Triple Nickel, State Route 555 in Southeastern Ohio. But one thing that has been sorely missing is a food stop along the way. Soon we'll be able to eat what I expect to be good food at the Triple Nickel Diner in Chesterhill. They will be cooking with local produce and meats raised for them by local farmers, and they know how to cook! There will be an open house on May 28 at 3 PM with food and music, so if you plan on riding that area then stop by to see what its all about. Their grand opening will not be until June 18. They plan to be open Thursdays through Sundays. Here's the link to their web site: http://www.triplenickeldiner.com/

You've gotta ride to Athens if for nothing else then the roads, but there is a decent local BarBQ, Kiser's BarBQ, as well as three award winning breweries, Jackie O's Brewery and Public House, which has great food, Little Fish Brewery, that always has a food truck there when open, and Devil's Kettle Brewery. Also, Lake Hope State Park Dinning Lodge and Hocking Hills State Park Lodge have excellent in-house smoked meats and BarBQ run by the same excellent chef and Beemer rider.

Tonik, Thanks for catching my mistake, I forgot to include the www. Not sure how to edit my original post, so the short link should be: http://www.windy9.com I don't have anything to do with the web site, but I imagine it should be a full time job to check links on a site that is constantly updating and eliminating old events and announcements.

Ohio's Windy 9 is the name of a map developed by the Athens Visitor's Bureau that shows 9 excellent rides that loop from Athens. The map was produced with the help of Road Runner Magazine, so it is well designed and even printed on water resistant paper to make it last through those rainy days.The routes themselves take in some of the best roads and sites in this part of the state, and most loops are in the 90 - 100 mile range. Some of the roads are likely to be famiiar - Routes 78, 56 and 555, etc., but there are also well paved county roads, so you should find something new here even if you have ridden in the region. Link to this site and you can download a PDF of the map or GPX files for your Nav system, or you can ask to have a map mailed to you. The map can help you plan a full riding day or even a weekend of several rides. Oh, and did I mention that Athens now has 3 micro breweries? http://windy9.com My only interest is that I developed, tested and suggested the routes.
