I live in northen Cullman County. I'll be taking 278 East to Gadsen then 431 South to Oxford.

We could hook up where 231 and 278 meet or where 79 and 278 meet, depending on where in Marshall County you are coming from. Just let me know.

Hey, lets say you and I meet up at the Ingles right there on the corner of where 19 and 41 split. I assume that you are going straight up 19-41 to 109.

Actually Alex you can come all the way down to the B'Ville Ingles because 109 is just 7 miles west of that store off hwy 18 west. This would be the most logical place to meet. Let me know if that would work for you.

That works too. I am horrible with old country highways. I know just about ever road in Clayton and Henry, and every other major highway, but when it comes to all these crazy back roads yall take I get super lost.

Alex, I thought we were meeting on the southside of the Talladega Forest but Oxford is actually on the northside. So really the best bet for us is to meet in Griffin on Hwy 16 and pick up Interstate 20 just north of Carrollton. We can meet in the Lowe's parking lot (Hwy 19/41 & Hwy 16 Exit). I won't bore you with the route details but I'll get us there. Trust me

if you dare!

Oh, Man. You can EASILY spend SEVERAL hours in Barber's Museum!
Worth the trip for anyone interested in Motorcycles!

If you want to meet up, let me and Dave know an estimated time you guys will be hitting I 20, where you want to meet and we will aim for that. Looks like it'll be easiest for us to ride the interstate the whole way in.

Okay, I'll get back to you on that when I figure it out.
