Yes, I am planning a trip to Wakeman, OH. to have a car tuned and stopping by Welsville for the weekend. I need to find a parking place for my Motor Home and a enclosed car trailer that will be secure for the weekend. Do you have any ideas?

I recently did this hill on my 1988 KTM 500 MX.  It's known as the Widowmaker at Jawbone Canyon.  It was cake on the big bore smoker, but definitely intimidating from the bottom.  I don't have a fancy helmet cam though so the video is just from someone else who did it.

Wish I could find some video of the climbs we were doing on the other side of the canyon though, there was one that none of us seemed to be able to make it up, except one guy.

Tim, I am still trying to set a date that I can come to Wellsville again. I will let you know when I can fit it in my schedule.

That was a great climb. You had to use some skill towards the top to continue. Longer then any of our hills.

I think they are afraid of an old man Ha Ha. It would be great to have some fresh blood to show a good time. I always enjoy introducing fellow riders to our area.  :thumbsup:

Don,

I love the Video's.   Like you, I am a little older and I'm  an ex-motocrosser with a long background climbing hills similar to your video.  Unfortunately, we do not have hills that steep or long here in Pittsburgh. I respectfully accept your challenge and would like to arrange to meet and climb these hills - and many more.  I think I can give you a friendly run for your money.  Let's find out!!!
