doug at the burgh bar

Well,headed out today for a nice with 60degree temps.Me and doug put on about 160 some odd miles.Just what the docter ordered.Left around 1130am headed to points unknown.We took RT,18 out of beaver county and jumped on RT,30 into Wv.then across the river to Oh. where we headed towards Lisbon.Stopped for gas then back out to the lost highway.Ended up in Salinesville for a drink at the Tangerine bar.If your into dive bars as we are than this is a must.We then went north out of town where we picked up a side road that lead to RT.9.We then seen the signs for Gilford Lake and went to Marks landing for lunch.That place was crawling with weekend warriors so we settled for a cold beverage and ran into a couple of my friends from were i grew up.After alittle b.s. session we headed back towards RT,9 towards Salem,Oh.Doug and i found a great place to grab a bite at Mikes Pub in Salem.We both enjoyed the fine grub.I had a Gyro and Doug had the Reuben.If your ever hungry in Salem give them a try.They also have alot of micro brews for yens who are into them.From there it on to RT,534 and back towards home the roundabout way that usally would drive some people crazy"K.L.".which means no real direct path,a left here aright there.Last stop was the Burg Bar in West Pittsburgh,Pa.Right outside New Castle Pa. on RT,168 off RT,18.They has some of best wing flavors i have ever had.Somewhere around twenty of them and they also have redbull on tap great for a guy like me who would rather have a  massive speed buzz than the typical biker buzz that i used to go for.Well the riding season is off and running so stayed tuned for more updates.
