I'll be riding back to Newark, Saturday, after the ride. This would suit me just fine. A heavier meal might not be the best idea for me, no matter how good BBQ Ribs sound. http://www.pizzacrossing.com/ http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?cc=us&Rtp=~adr.58%20N%20Mulberry%20St%20Logan,%20OH#Y3A9MzkuNTQwNTg0fi04Mi40MDY4NDUmbHZsPTE2JnN0eT1yJnJ0cD1wb3MuMzkuNTQ3Nzg3Xy04Mi40MzMxNzRfSG9ja2luZyUyME1hbGwlMkMlMjBMb2dhbiUyQyUyME9IJTIwNDMxMzhfX19lX35wb3MuMzkuNTQwNTg0Xy04Mi40MDY4NDVfNTglMjBNdWxiZXJyeSUyMFN0JTIwTiUyQyUyMExvZ2FuJTJDJTIwT0glMjA0MzEzOF9fX2VfJm1vZGU9RCZydG9wPTB+MH4wfg== I looked at reviews of restaurants in Logan. I'm not very impressed with what I've read. .

Though we would be happy to have you ride with us, there is a group meeting up, at Iron Pony in Westerville. Meeting up with them will save you some miles. Here's a link on how to get there: http://goo.gl/maps/iWlml And here's a link to their thread: http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=102893 And the main thread, if you want to see the big picture of the Epic Ride 2013. http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=102404 .

Okay, point G to H is all Rt 555 up to 37. We went on 377, 78, 37, to New Lexington.

with a leftist mentality

Weather permitting, and all that, I'm planning on riding back down on Sunday, but from Newark, if anyone is interested in joining. PM me if interested and we can work out a time and all. .

..

That's why I suggested the butterfly closures, to keep it supported for another 4 days or so. .

Thank you, gentlemen. The route turns off of 555 at Chesterhill. Zanesville, down to Chesterhill on 555 is not in as good of condition as the lower part that we will be riding on. Uncle Punk was familiar enough with 555 to route us appropriately. .

I wouldn't make a move towards Hilliard without the promise of a sketti dinner with hot garlic bread, and a fresh salad. .

Do you notice your phone getting flaky just before your two-year contract is up and you are eligible for an upgrade? I think they are programmed to go sour in two years so they can make you dissatisfied and sell you a new hot model of phone. .

Hold an umbrella behind you and just pop it open when you need to slow down.

Yep! They wanted them dumbed down. And now, the dumbed down run the school systems. John Taylor Gatto presented speeches and essays, including "The Psychopathic School", his acceptance speech for the 1990 New York City Teacher of the Year award, and "The Seven-Lesson Schoolteacher", his acceptance speech for the 1991 New York State Teacher of the Year. Gatto speculated: "Was it possible, I had been hired not to enlarge children's power, but to diminish it? That seemed crazy, on the face of it, but slowly, I began to realize that the bells and confinement, the crazy sequences, the age-segregation, the lack of privacy, the constant surveillance, and all the rest of the national curriculum of schooling were designed exactly as if someone had set out to prevent children from learning how to think, and act, to coax them into addiction and dependent behavior." Gatto concludes that: ". . . all of these lessons are prime training for permanent underclasses, people deprived forever of finding the center of their own special genius. . . ." That "School is a twelve-year jail sentence, where bad habits are the only curriculum truly learned. I teach school, and win awards doing it. I should know." .

Yesterday, I rode the entire route for the Epic Ride. This was my second time riding the "555".It was reinforced in my mind that Rt 555 can teach you to slow it down, the easy way, or the hard way. I prefer the easy way. This road is not marked in the usual way. Other roads with a curve marked for 35 mph can be usually be enjoyed at 45 or 50 mph, but not this one. If it says 20 mph, approach it as if it really means 15 mph. The curves are sharp, very sharp, 90° in many places. Many curves will catch you off guard. You will find yourself topping a hill, with a good bit of speed, only to discover that in the very instant it comes into view, a curve, demanding immediate response, will suddenly make you an offer you can't refuse. Don't be caught off guard. Tone down your speed and your ego on the 555. Nice cornering skills should be used with a much lower speed than what you like to ride through Hocking Hills. I came into a few curves a little hotter than I should have, and this is the experience I am speaking with now. I found myself reacting quickly to surprises that came uninvited. I want you to come away unscratched, also. As for gravel.....I saw it mostly at intersections with side roads. I never saw any that I thought would be a problem, unless you were riding right on the very edge and came upon it at an intersection. ~ JackFlash :biker: .

And speaking of Chinese...

It was a Motel 6, thank you very much. I've seen stiches left in for ten days. They had to painfully be scrubbed to get them out. But, it's not my booger picker that's all sewn back into something that looks sort of like a finger. .

I think we could have done it in four hours if we hadn't lingered at the fuel stop for a while. But with many more bikes, I'm not so sure about it. Let's call it five hours. .

I pulled into the driveway at 7:15. I'm all tuckered out. It was a good day, but it was a long day. I'm stiff in places where I didn't know I had places. Thanks for coming with me, Dan and Will. It was good to ride with you again. It will be an early night for me. I'm going to sleep like a log. .

The flesh will start to adhere to the stiches if you don't take them out soon enough. I wouldn't wait to take the stiches out. It's not going to split open, but if you think it still needs tied together, get some of these: http://www.soap.com/p/red-cross-butterfly-closures-medium-54484?site=CA&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc_S&utm_term=JJ-572&utm_campaign=GoogleAW&CAWELAID=1323137128&utm_content=pla&adtype=pla&cagpspn=pla If you wait too long to take them out, it's going to hurt. .
