That's too bad, 260 is 36 miles long and freshly paved. It's twice as long as 255 and every bit as fun, plus we are doing the section on 83 between 78 and 146 that I know you like.

You need to hang out here more, this discussion started a month before the ride. http://www.ohio-riders.net/showpost.php?p=520215&postcount=529 Now you have to make it.

Look you trouble maker, I don't want to see you, I.P. or SamBusa in my thread messing it all up, this isn't a Harley thread so be nice to me. If you guys get this moved to ranting & raving I will end up riding by myself because no one will be able to find it.

Just started? What are you talking about? I'm sorry to do this for a Saturday but it gives us Sunday to make it up if it rains. Would leaving an hour earlier be something anyone is interested in to make it home earlier? I checked the time it takes to do the routes and it looks like the big route won't leave us enough time to get the ride done in daylight so maybe that route should go. I rode 260 this past weekend with the C.S.B.A. and it is a road we want to get to for this ride, it might be as good as 255 only longer.

You didn't faceplant because you were going too fast though it was the gravel that threw you down.

Are you referring to the M&G on the 24th?.................Not the same day. http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=61933

I have a safe spot you could park your car and trailer five miles from the original starting spot. It should take about an hour and ten minutes to get to that gas station plus or minus depending on the number of bikes that show up.

I don't mind at all I like riding with the C.O.R.E guys. I do have a request for you though. In the thread that started this you mentioned something about trailering to Millersburg. This is a very long route and time could get tight for daylight so I would prefer to eliminate another meeting spot. Can you meet us at the starting point? You are more than welcome to meet us at the Marathon on 39 between 83 & 60 since I can make that the first gas stop but I don't want to post a time for us to be there or leave there.

We will be leaving at 8:00 AM from 82 & 83 on July 31st or August 1st if rain cancels out the first date. Please be on time gassed up and ready to go at 8:00 AM. If you are late you can catch us cruising down 83 at about 70 MPH. I have posted the route so if the pace I am riding at is too slow for you feel free to take the lead just make sure to wait for us at the stops. I will be going about 70 MPH between curves and passing slower moving vehicles on double yellows. If that doesn’t sound like something you are willing to do please find another group to ride with. You should be riding the curves at your own pace no matter what speed that is, we all want to keep riding all day and not helping pick bikes out of ditches. If you are touching the center line exiting corners you are going too fast and riding unsafe, if anyone see’s someone riding unsafe they should confront them or let someone know. I will make a bike count when we start and at every stop, if you are going to leave early please let someone know ahead of time or at the next stop. Depending on the number of bikes showing up we may have a sweep rider doing the count. Please make sure your bike is in good repair. If you break down we will make sure you are safe but will not be waiting for help to arrive. Most people find their spot in the line naturally and if someone is on your tail let them by, we will be riding faster riders up front to slower riders in the back. Don’t follow the guy in front of you too closely; we are all going in the same circle so give everyone the same safety margin you would expect to get from someone whom you haven’t ridden with before. There is no planned lunch stop so pick up whatever you need at gas stops. I am posting planned gas stops so people can join in the ride but I will not wait at gas stops for people to show up. I will give my best case estimate on when we will be there but there are too many factors involved that can change our timing. I could plan times and wait but we wouldn’t be able to get these many miles in daylight. I will post links that people can use to see any of the gas stops and the route map. (See the end of this post for links.) Some people seem to have issues with seeing them in this post so I hope this will fix that problem for them. 452 miles 11 hours 03 minutes First gas stop Second gas stop Third gas stop Fourth gas stop Fifth gas stop Final gas stop Thanks to JCMathis for video of 260 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWVEE1oYVBc 452 miles 11 hours 03 minutes http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=OH-82+E%2FElyria-Twinsburg+Rd%2FRoyalton+Rd&daddr=OH-39+W+to:OH-39+W+to:Main+St+to:Frazeysburg+Rd+to:OH-208+W%2FDresden+Adamsville+Rd+to:Underwood+St+to:OH-60+S%2FOH-60+Scenic+S%2FS+River+Rd+to:OH-376+S+to:W+Main+St+to:N+7th+St+to:OH-260+N+to:OH-800+N+to:OH-800+N+to:OH-7+N%2F5th+Ave+to:OH-800+S%2FMorrison+Ln+to:Park+Ave+to:OH-260+S+to:OH-78+W%2FWoodsfield+Rd+to:OH-83+N+to:Friendship+Dr+to:OH-83+S%2FOH-83+Scenic+S%2FUS-62+W+to:OH-82+W%2FElyria-Twinsburg+Rd%2FRoyalton+Rd&geocode=FRVodgIdYnMc-w%3BFYTQagId8N8d-w%3BFf4lawIdunQc-w%3BFR54ZwIdNq0c-w%3BFVYqZAIdrooc-w%3BFdYxZAIdfMsc-w%3BFbB8YQIdsMIc-w%3BFYpaXwIdlm4e-w%3BFbqRXgIdpm0f-w%3BFfj9XAIdoAQf-w%3BFa5uWQIdekIl-w%3BFeSuWwIdnOUo-w%3BFeRCXgIdHkkq-w%3BFWYbXgIdZmUq-w%3BFUqYXAIdGGAt-w%3BFYS5WwIduvEr-w%3BFfH9WgId0PIq-w%3BFaI6XQIdvjwo-w%3BFZ66XgIdShwm-w%3BFSTXXQIdP_gg-w%3BFYQ_YgIdyrog-w%3BFY0uagIdzPcd-w%3BFRVodgIdWnMc-w&hl=en&mra=ls&sll=40.3649,-81.489825&sspn=3.256225,8.421021&ie=UTF8&z=8 First gas stop http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=8438-8498+Ohio+39,+Millersburg,+OH+44654&daddr=&hl=en&geocode=CRm_srvkK3-kFf3QagIdr9wd-ykNCB8mtW03iDHWeARejRTjrg&mra=mi&sll=40.554366,-81.928911&sspn=0.001347,0.00283&g=40.554753,-81.92904&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=19 Second gas stop http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=39.943698,-82.000789&daddr=Zanesville,+OH&hl=en&geocode=%3BCVsWcbz2zBZhFflwYQId-JMc-ylt-9y2xO03iDHXKa3YIgUhkQ&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=19&sll=39.94372,-82.000108&sspn=0.001359,0.00283&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=19 Third gas stop http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=39.415924,-81.443987&daddr=Marietta,+OH&hl=en&geocode=%3BCRLbfGIAIF9dFThuWQIdBBkl-yktMsQM4cxJiDGV5OSRNSdiPQ&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=19&sll=39.415578,-81.444027&sspn=0.00137,0.00283&ie=UTF8&ll=39.415646,-81.443997&spn=0.00137,0.00283&t=h&z=19 Fourth gas stop http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=1300+Park+Avenue,+New+Matamoras,+OH+45767-6366+(Par+Mar+Stores)&daddr=&hl=en&geocode=CYxpFYrZsz9AFe3-WgIdcfIq-yEp7sqFQOutuA&mra=mi&sll=39.517889,-81.071398&sspn=0.001368,0.00283&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=19 Fifth gas stop http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=39.993273,-81.74154&daddr=New+Concord,+OH&hl=en&geocode=%3BCYWh3rjVJqAsFVRBYgIdf9Yg-yk_vEyhDMc3iDGoSSKJCkekUg&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=19&sll=39.993434,-81.741339&sspn=0.001601,0.003473&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=19 Final gas stop http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=OH-83+S%2FAvon+Lake+Rd&daddr=&hl=en&geocode=FROZcQId8tUc-w&mra=ls&sll=40.998895,-81.996452&sspn=0.001577,0.003473&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=19

Guns, man guns! I am working on a project for these guys http://www.ravenconcealment.com/ that will dramatically reduce their lead time, kind of like contract work but not really (Very hard to explain.) The project will give me 12 to 14 weeks worth of work and I hope something else shows up during that time.

This was a good thread but I have decided to stay out of it. I am back to work today after not working since February.

I was out riding yesterday and missed this. I have stuff to do today and hope this doesn't get closed before tonight. I will be backing up Justin's liberal comment with ones that aren't liberal. This could be fun.

Did anyone count the Miatas that went past us on 208 going the other direction? It seemed like about 30 of them.

I had a great time and got the chance to ride some roads that I have been ignoring while down in that part of the state. 260 is just as good of a road as 255, I can't believe more people don't talk about it, wow. It was nice meeting everyone and riding that many miles without worrying about anyone going down make the time very enjoyable. I hate to stop for lunch on rides but the place we stopped at was very nice and worth the stop. Thanks to all who were involved in organizing this ride it is much appreciated.

Jinx is going out for a short ride in the morning.

Just a heads up for anyone heading out to this. Pettibone road is closed going eastbound at the far east side of Glenwillow. If anyone has mapped out going through Oakwood and Glenwillow they might need to consider getting over to 91 & Pettibone with an alternate route.

Oh yeah, for future reference do not post Pms publicly without permission from all parties involved. I certainly would have said yes in this circumstance but it's a good policy to follow in the future. I don't expect you to reply to this until later tonight because I know you have trouble posting from work, man would that piss me off.

You might also want to add how valuable an incentive this is from your personal experience. If worded correctly you might be able to add a premium to your asking price.

After sleeping on it I am really pissed at myself for losing the way I did. I guess experience teaches you and I will not lose the same way again if I ever do this again. Second sucks when the outcome is in your control. Damn you Justin for making me waste more time on another thing I don't have time for.

If it will help with the sale I will also tap the ass of the new seat owner.

How many bikes are expected and what gas station in Woodsfield can handle more that eight bikes?

I don't think of myself as just "A few people.” I'm special and thought there would be something more in it for me. If you make it good I will help campaign for you, just think what that would do for your numbers.

I had fun, thanks to you and your father. I wouldn't have had a clue what to do if it wasn't for you two. First loser sucks though, I was so worried about red lighting I kind of reacted too slowly and I pedaled out at the end but I really didn't slow down much, that six second head start the big ass van got made the closing speed hard to estimate. Best five dollars of entertainment I ever spent. I got a trophy and a smile from the trophy girl.

You going tonight? I might take my SUV because it's too hot without air-conditioning.

You need to check that attitude because as a freshmen mod you need to campaign better than that. Disapproving of the members will only alienate them which could lead to losing the ability to post in closed threads.
