Are you available next Saturday? I’m planning a ride. We could meet in Cadiz. It will be a longer day.

Awesome Pete I look forward to riding with you again.

You should join in the fun next weekend.

I’m planning to ride next Saturday if the weather cooperates. I plan to run my typical route: 83-78-377-555-676-26-260NorS depending on time. I’ll be in New Concord around 10. If anybody is closer to me I’ll be in Lisbon around 8. Anybody interested?

Home now as well. 480 miles in about 9hrs. It was great to see and ride with you B-Mac.

That works. I’m guessing it will take me 3-3.5hrs to hit Woodsfield. Let’s say 10:15ish.

I was kind of planning on staying east and just bouncing off the river. This is kind of what I had in mind. 9S-148W-145S-556S-78W-800S-255S-7S-maybe grab lunch or continue 800N-26S-260SorN @ricer1@B-Mac if this doesn’t work well for you 2 we could meet in New Concord and go from there. others are welcome to join pace will be medium-fast to fast is my guess.

Sorry you 2 missed out. I had a good day. I’m hoping to ride again Thursday and Saturday. Either of you available those days?

I plan to head towards Hocking Hills tomorrow. I’ll be in New Concord around 10, Glouster around 11. Pace will be my normal, medium-fast to fast. I however am not as familiar with the area so it may not be quite as fast. Photo is my plan once I get off 83. Not sure on my return trip yet. Let me know if you’re interested.

I was not able to take my trip to Hocking Hills yesterday. I was about an hour into my trip and I noticed one of my freshly rebuilt forks was leaking worse than it was prior to the rebuild. I turned around and headed straight for the shop that rebuilt the forks. They told me to leave the bike and they’d fix it. I took the bike home, pulled the fork myself, and took it up to them. They told me they’d have it finished by 4. Sure enough they were finished but not confident they fixed it because they found no issues upon disassembly. I reassembled and test rode today for about 100 miles around home and all seems good. The rest of my week is busy with my girls at our county fair. I hope to ride next week. I’m hoping to ride multiple days. Maybe a day or 2 during the week and hopefully Saturday. I’ll post details when I get it all figured out.

Hey I’m in your last photo. Welcome to OR.

I’ll try in the morning

I’m coming across 78. New Concord 10 AM, Glouster 11AM is my guess. I was going to try to repeat your route around the area.

Got my forks back. Guy charged me $125 to do them. I thought that was too cheap so I gave him $150. I installed the forks, made a test run and cleaned it up. Plan to try to ride to Hocking Hills tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Showing tests are inaccurate

@B-Mac I thought you told me I needed to improve my choice for lunch. Yet you end up at the same place.

I just followed the directions and it worked as advertised. 🤷‍♂️

So my quad gets abused weekly if not daily. My seat wore a hole through the aluminum subframe. I decided to give the simple solutions aluminum welding rods a shot. The stuff seems to work great. You can see in the pictures I even grinded on the stuff. It was tough stuff. It may have even grinded harder than normal aluminum. hole Patch for the hole Welding equipment Welded and ground

We have a local pizza shop that puts bacon on their buffalo chicken pizza and it’s the best I’ve ever had. I know folks that are from the Cleveland area that camp at a campground near my home and they can’t get enough of the stuff.

@B-Mac it’s not looking promising. I’m supposed to call Thursday if I don’t hear from the shop I dropped my forks off at. Only way I’ll make it is if I get a call before then.

We can try Marv’s Place if I’m able to attend.

I’d love to ride buddy but I’m not sure my forks will be completed in time. If they are finished in time I’ll post back here.
