I’m thinking 10:30, gas station near 70

Well that sucks. I thought maybe I was actually going to get a chance to ride with you. Maybe some other time.

I know a lot of you probably are not available but if the weather is good Friday I’m riding. I will be heading down 164-9-22-285-short run on 70-83-78-377-555-676-Marietta Arby’s. (Places to meet = Lisbon, Cadiz, New Concord) I’ll head back home 26-260-7-800 then I’ll probably make my way over to 536. Pace will be med-fast, I’ll probably start my ride around 7AM. Let me know if you’re interested in joining me.

I have students in my classroom taking a test right now. It took all I had not to bust out laughing hysterically. Thanks for this stuff @redbarron77

June 5 is last day for teachers

I changed the oil, flushed the clutch, cleaned and lubed the chain. Now if I could get the weather to cooperate with me and get some free time to ride again things would be great.

What were temps like for first session? It was still only around 50 here at like 9:30.

Put down 425 miles in a little over 8hrs. Pretty good day for my first real ride this year. 800S from 22 to 26 pretty much sucks. 26S was good all the way to 260N. 260 was in good shape heading north to 145. If you run 260S watch out for a dip just before getting to 26. Random photo on 260 or 145 It was great to run into @NinjaDoc He’ll tell you he doesn’t remember how to ride, but if you get him on 164 he pretty much goes back to his old self.

No MidO until June or later for me.

If the weather is good I’ll definitely be out. I’ll let you know my route. I’m waiting to see how early in the morning I’ll be able to leave based on temps.

Looks like just a little bit of work to be done there.

I have a feeling you are probably riding the bike a little different than most. Their default settings for lean angle etc are probably set for a true touring ride.

Not good for me. Give it a couple months and I can meet up with you for weekday shenanigans.

We have had 2 weekends in a row that would have been great for riding. It’s just you were busy. I have the same problem. I was stuck inside a gym the past 2 weekends. I’m guessing you were working. I’m hoping Monday holds up. I have the day off.

I understand what you’re saying. My choice would be between a car in garage or a trailer. Trailers sit outside, both have a wood floor.

Back on topic. When my wife and I first got married we each had our own bikes and the place we rented had a shed like 2tall suggested and it was perfect.

What kind of trailer do you have? Why does it need to be inside?

Rick I’m in the same boat as Doc. Hope the weather cooperates and you get a good ride in.

I’m not sure. I got interrupted mid way through. If everything goes smooth I would guess it usually takes me around an hour to change a tire.

Pretty much in the same boat Doc. I feel your pain.

Glad to see this is happening again this year, but unfortunately I can’t make it this year. Between JO volleyball and AAU basketball my daughters pretty much have my weekends monopolized until Memorial Day weekend.

Officially in for this.

I’ve only had to use ether once when I couldn’t get a bead to set. Thanks for the compliment on the bike. As I was posting this hillbilly crap I thought of you and the fact that you were using appropriate stands and had your bike fall. Then there’s me hanging crap from the ceiling and popping beads with my truck hitch. Glad to see there was minimal damage to your bike and it’s getting fixed for a minimal cost.

Step 5 - strategically back truck into garage so you have the right amount of clearance to place those wonderfully crafted padded 4x4s under the hitch so you can place your bead breaker and bar on your tire Step 6 - use tire irons to remove tire Step 7 - lube up new tire with soapy water and install using tire irons step 8 - take tire and 4x4s back to sturdy card table, reinsert core, air tire up to pressure, be sure bead sets, reinstall rotors step 9 - install tire back on the bike and lower it back to the ground, ready to go riding Warning - step 5 requires a hillbilly engineering degree
