SWing'R

Yeah the lake area was nice. Glad you liked it.

Happy birthday man. Wish I was just turning 30

Meh, that shit'll buff right out.

No but the planners of the event should have cleared the area, they should have known better.

Yeah, thats some pretty shitty planning on the organizers part, I smell lawsuits.

Weird isn't. And you can just call me SB (small bladder) instead of SWing'R from now on. After goin that first time it was like damn geiser Although, in my defense, over the course of the day I had two bottles of water and three bottles of gatorade/powerade! Damn heat

That's the cruise control they threw in for free

I only took two pics, here's the one that looks best...

I know right. You and I both know that was a pretty good turn and I know I was going at a decent speed yet on film it looks completely different

It will take a long time to upload but you can upload up to 10g or 10minutes in length I believe.

I'll review the video later tonight for that spot, hopefully I hadn't run out of disk space yet.

WTH dude, you missed a great ride. We only rode the first half, like in the first map I posted cause by the time we finished that we were exhausted from the damn heat. I personally had a blast guys, thanks to everyone that made it, we had zero mishaps or mechanical issues, no real run-ins with any LEO's, all in all a really great time! I hope that my pace was okay with everyone, I don't really consider myself a fast rider but definitely not a slow one! I think the fact that I/we were able to correct for that amish buggy around that one curve tells me that our speed was perfect, had we been going just 5mph faster I'm not sure I'd have been able to correct coming around that curve. I'll get a couple pics up later tonight, gotta go take the wife to dinner, my pennance for being gone all day! :grin: Thanks again guys. BTW anyone considering running this same route, be warned there was lots of gravel on 772. 41 was in pretty good shape.

There is another gas station we will pass right when we get to Chillicothe, you my gas capacity challenged friend can top off there.

I thought you were going on the Dayton ride today?

Rob if you want to come for the first half and split off at that, that'd be ok. The second half was just added in case everyone feels like doing it when we finish the first half. I'm not even 100% sure we'll ride the second portion, that will be determined when we finish the first.

I consider myself a pretty middle-of-the-road rider when it comes to my riding style. I like to ride fast at times but I tend to be pretty reasonable with the turns, not to fast, not to slow. Meeting place: BP station on 23 South just past 270 on southside of town. (as soon as you get on 23S off of 23 its right there on the right) Meeting time? Let's say 12noon? Roll out as soon as everyone shows up. Tom, if you want to arrange a meeting with Dan since you guys are right in each others backyard thats on you guys.

Okay, I've added a section to this route, first section as shown in the first map is about 150miles including the ride from Columbus down to Chillicothe. The second portion is an additional 95miles from Chillicothe thru a little bit of Hocking Hills. This brings the total miles for the trip to around 245 if we do both sections. Here is a new overview, the black arrows indicate the first half and the red arrows the second half. Here is a PDF copy of the turn-by-turn directions... http://www.davidrosso.com/temp/05-30-10_route.pdf

Cool.

Looking for a few riders that might want to join in on a short ride I'm planning for tomorrow/Sunday 5/30. Nothing very big, just a few bikes and not a very long ride, not even sure what time we're starting yet, gonna be a "on the fly" decision in the morning. Most likely going with a later start, like noon or after. Up for debate on the start time. Planned route is only about 107mil loop starting/ending in Chillicothe. Figured we could take good ole 104 down to Chillicothe. When we're done with the planned loop if we feel like doing some more we can, play it by ear. Here is a overview map of the loop, not very long but 772 and 41 are very fun. Confirmed riders at this point are.... SWing'R, Strictly Streets, bluebandit_84, C-Bus, mahdey Meetup point/time: 12noon at the BP on 23S just below 270. When you get on 23 S off of 270 its right there on the right.

We did the Kokosing Gap Trail today. Ride stats... 27miles round trip, 2hrs 16minutes riding, avg speed 12mph. The ADA ride is a week from today! Still no donations from any OR's

I just saw on your FB page that Hooters Hilliard has a FB and your two girlfriends are on there

Hey, I'm not a danger magnet, I've been on two rides where there were accidents, how bout you, hmmmmm...
