July 12, 2012, my twin brother passed away in a motorcycle accident. I got him into riding and he was incredibly passionate about it. Although passionate, he was very reckless, and took risks on a bike that many wouldn't even dare. Unfortunately, two years ago, he took one of those risks and paid the ultimate price. When he passed, I sold my first bike to help pay for the funeral. After a year of not riding, I realized this was something my brother wouldn't have wanted. He wanted me to ride. Therefore, I try to ride on the 12th every year in his memory. This 7-12 happens to be on a Saturday, therefore, I want to make it a long ride. Who wants to join me on Saturday 7/12/14 Plan on leaving early in the morning - like Millersburg no later than 9. I'd like to ride down to Marietta and back - 83, 78, 26,800, 7, 26, 550, 13, 78, 83. Here's tentative route: http://tinyurl.com/oar6unq Pace will be brisk, but no one will get left behind. We will wait for everyone at turns and stop signs. My family is holding a little family get together around 8pm so I want to be back by then. I have no problem leading. although my navigation skills sometimes lack, so we may have to double back every now and again. It's not a memorial ride for you guys, it's just something I do on a personal level for myself to remember him my way. It's nothing more than a ride for the rest, and a bit more special for myself, so I hope those who can join will want to. Let me know.
