  1. Tony can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the route was 212 to 151south to 9south to 148West to 145South to 800south to 78East to 536South to 7South to 255North to 800North back to 78East to 7North to 556North to 145North to 148West then 800North into Uhrichsville where we had that last stop.

    That is pretty close, we didn't hit 145 on the ride down. That wound up being about a 280 mile loop (+ the rides there and home). There are a lot of good roads were could have added, but I didn't want to kill you guys :).

    After Adam split off, 77 was backed up for a couple miles (just south of Canton). I don't have that kind of patience, so rslocum and I road the shoulder to avoid a huge delay, and then had to navigate through Canton via iPhone.

  2. Good ride today. No cops, no drops. We hit some of SE OH favs, and kept up a pretty good pace all day

    The weather never really got nice, but wasn't bad either. Cloudy and cool, and we stayed dry. 4 people is a good group size for those roads. Much more and it's hard to stay together.

    I logged a bit over 425 miles for the day.

  3. Let's push back the start time by 30 minutes. I have stuff to do Sunday evening.

    So meet in Bolivar at 9:30, wheels rolling by 10a. I'll update my post above.

    The route will be heading to SE OH there are some excellent roads that way.

  4. Since this ride doesn't appear to be happening, how about this...

    **Updated**

    9:30a Meet at Bolivar DQ (US77 & OH212), wheels rolling by 10a. Return to Bolivar between 3-4. The loop (Bolivar to Bolivar) is 250 miles or so depending some route options.

    The pace wil be brisk, the roads will be curvy. All will be riding within their limits, geared up, and no one will be left behind, etc.

    From Cleveland, I usually slab on 77 to Bolivar, it takes about 1:10. For those who prefer not to slab, you can take 83>250>212>Bolivar, that takes 1:30--1:40.

    It will be chilly in the morning...we live in Ohio.

  5. If Rob is on ...than that's all I need to know...:D..

    Tony...did you get to cosh Sunday on I 71 ? The weather was crappy especially toward the interstate.

    The weather Sunday looks better as we get close to it, so I think it looks like we might pull this off.

    All we need now is some long johns and a Sherpa guide for the Cosh countryside.

    Any of you southern boys reading this, is interested in taking some of us city kids for a country ride ?

    I wound up staying North (& dry) last weekend.

    If there is a ride in Coshocton with someone who knows the roads I'd be up for it, otherwise I'll be heading to the roads I know (SE OH & WV).

  6. AND the idiots that have no idea what they are talking about have come out to play.... The Catholic churches of Ohio for the most part don't put on bingo any more, in fact in C-bus there are less then 10 parishes that run a bingo... get your facts straight before you spout off... and if you have a problem with catholics you got a huge f-n problem with me.... :mad:

    Easy tiger.

    Here are 5 pages of Bingo listings in OH, about half of them are churches. Sometime facts can get in the way of internet rantings.

  7. Don't worry Columbus finished off most the bingo business at the Catholic Churches in Columbus with the hamfisted indoor smoking ban that was in place before the state wide one.

    Also, bingo revenue at its peak for one year didn't even come close to touching what a casino would consider a bad night for nearly every Parish.

    If you want to hate the Catholic Church go right ahead but you might want to try doing it for theological reasons because you are wrong on this socio-economic one.

    You're welcome to your opinion, but I disagree.

    As you stated Casinos generate FAR greater revenue than bingo...that is the threat, and why opposed by the Diocese.

    The Catholic church that is walking distance from my house has an ATM in their bingo hall. I laugh every time ride by it. Gambling is a sin isn't it? but there are other threads to argue theology.

    From your Dead Kennedys avatar I'm guessing you're not a member of the Diocese.
