Well, I don't really want to do it solo, so I may do the poker run at QSL VV on Sunday...

No takers? Bummer...

There is another....

I'm going to be in Columbus for a meeting on Friday... maybe I'll ride over before I head back to Cleveland...

I tell those idiots that "Sweat dries faster than road rash heals..." and that usually shuts them up.

Thank for the tip, I appreciate it. I'm really flexible on this trip as I have no time table other than that I have to be at work on Monday and somewhat conscious and coherent. I'd love it if a couple people tagged along.

I like it.... Rt5 is fine with me, probably some nice views of the lake along the way.

So here are some initial thoughts... Cleveland to The Anchor Bar http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=5076+Mayfield+Road,+Cleveland,+OH+44124-2402+(Amy+Joy+Donuts)&daddr=The+Anchor+Bar,+Buffalo,+NY&hl=en&ll=42.740961,-79.230652&spn=0.97831,2.705383&sll=42.212245,-80.145264&sspn=1.973177,5.410767&geocode=FbaKeQIdlXQk-yHvjMtC0w8LjCnPSwgkGQIxiDHJiddVI0g6jQ%3BFVyjjgIdM49M-yG24X0W3lo7Eym5waUn9hLTiTGQMFC2T_G7oA&mra=ls&dirflg=t&t=h&z=9 7. I-90 E toward I-271 S/Erie Pa/Columbus Entering Pennsylvania 8. Take exit 45 to merge onto US-20 E/E Main Rd Continue to follow US-20 E Entering New York 9. Turn right onto US-20 E/Central Ave Continue to follow US-20 E 10. Continue onto NY-5 E 11. Continue onto Delaware Ave 12. At the traffic circle, continue straight to stay on Delaware Ave 13. Turn right onto North St 14. Take the 2nd left onto Main St Destination will be on the right Anchor Bar 1047 Main Street Buffalo, NY 14209 Post Anchor Bar Destinations (USA Side) Fort Niagara State Park Niagara Falls/Goat Island Daredevil Museum Seneca Niagara Casino Whirlpool State Park 30 Mile Point Lighthouse Canada Side (Passports Required) Clifton Hill Attractions Niagara-on-the-Lake After lunch I am WAY open to suggestions, I use to live in this area so I have seen most everything up there, so if something is of interest I'm game.

Not yet... But a rought route is 90 > rt 20 (to avoid the tolls), in to downtown Buffalo to the Anchor. After that I don't have a set plan yet.... I can try and come up with one if that would help?

I'm planning to take a looooong ride on Sunday for some chicken wings. Going to leave Lyndhurst area around 8am, heading to Buffalo NY to visit the Anchor Bar, maybe head up in to Canada if the mood hits... or just hang around the Falls. Lots of options... heading back and catching dinner somewhere along the way. Combination back roads and highway... Hit me up if you want to join in!

1.) My name is Mark (duh) 2.) I am the first member of my family to be born in the US (all previously born in the UK) 3.) There is a small village in England that my family is named from, the name dates back to before the Black Plague. 4.) I marched drum line a 4 years of high school and all the way through college. 5.) I have a tattoo and I'm getting ready to get another soon. 6.) I'm currently back in school to finish my bachelors degree... considering my masters. 7.) I've been married for 10 years to a woman who if you told me I would have married her I would have told you that you were crazy. 8.) I'm extremely lucky at times... example, I went to a tech conference in Vegas and won an iPad and a xBox Kinect system from the vendors in attendance. 9.) I was named "Best Drummer" in 2006 at the Emergenza Music Festival. 10.) I have 2 albums available on iTunes.

Red versys, white helmet... On campus a lot this summer...

If you are planning on running Valley Parkway around the CVNP you might need to rethink the route. Apparently ODOT found a huge crack in the overpass over I-77 and that section is shut down, so be sure you know a detour around that area.

Here's my Versys loaded up for a trip to my old high school band directors retirement party.... good weekend trip

Well, now I know the secret handshake, I'm in!

I read the DTC, it's how I recognized the group... oh well.. sorry I caught her off guard... seemed like she was the only one not in a conversation or on the phone at the time.... I was in a weird headspace anyway that night... it's all good, next time

Pretty sure... she nodded yes, but I swear I had "I have AIDS" tattooed on my forehead the way she looked at me.

So, I accidentally bumped in to you guys shortly after getting to the show... asked if you guys were from OR to confirm I found you and I'm not sure who it was, but she looked at me like I had 3 heads... so I said fuck it and walked away. Maybe next year.

Is it to late to join this party? I dont know if I will make the after party but I'd love to meet up with y'all on Saturday at the show

I've never cheered for the Celtics.. until tonight. Mwahahahahahahaha... what a douche.

So, my wife ended up falling on an escalator at target, while holding our youngest and ended up with 3 stitches in her knee... luckily the baby was unharmed (and unphased from what I've been told). Glad to meet a few folks today, wish I could have stuck around, but next time for sure.

I'm going to be getting there right around 11AM...leaving Lyndhurst at 10:15

Weather looks dry.... are we still going?

Hey, it's my last day of work before starting a new job, so I'm blazing out around 1pm or so and I'm planning on crusing through the metro parks from west (Rocky River) to East (Chagrin Revervation). If anyone is interested, shoot me a note and we can try and meetup up somewhere in Rocky River. -Mark
