@Skinny guy more than likely my pace from Lisbon to New Concord will be more like med-fast. It will be early and I had a sheriff stop me about a month ago on 164. Thankfully he let me go with a warning. From New Concord on things may be different. I know last year when @jacobhawkins and I rode we had a group that had a variety of speed and it all worked out. I don’t plan to leave anybody behind. Feel free to join in if you like and ride your ride. @B-Mac sounds good.

Plan to ride this Saturday as long as weather looks good. Pace will be med-fast to fast is my guess. Plan to run Lisbon 8AM 164-9-22-285-70(11 miles?) New Concord 10/10:30AM 83-78-377-555-676-26-260S-7-800-26-537-260N-145-78 or 800. May stop for lunch in Marietta 30 min or so. Let me know if you’re interested.

Thanks @DerekClouser

Originally I was going to ride with my daughter today over to West Virginia but she was too sore from volleyball conditioning. So, I made my way solo to South East Ohio via some roads I have not rode in a while. Had a blast. Logged about 400 miles in like eight hours. If you have not ridden 145 north in a while, or never I suggest doing it. They have re-paved just north of 260 and the rest of it is in great shape all the way to 800. The weather was just about perfect today for riding. I hope some of you got to get out and enjoy it as well. It’s been a while since I have ridden on the street and to be honest I was starting to feel like @TimTheAzn. I was getting tired of the commute to get to good roads, but today reminded me that it’s worth it. Even tried to focus on some of the things I noticed about my riding style at my track day at mid-O.

It’s a good thing you’re a strong young fella capable of handling those falls B-Mac. I guess I’m soft. I switch to four wheels for trail riding. Looks like a good time. Thanks for sharing the video.

At 52 and 46 if you can’t afford a fish aquarium you’re doing it wrong.

This is a route I ran a couple years ago in Pennsylvania. https://www.mapquest.com/directions/list/1/us/oh/jefferson/to/us/pennsylvania/endeavor-pa-283592014/to/us/pennsylvania/sheffield-pa-282026534/to/us/pennsylvania/bradford-pa-282027830/to/us/pennsylvania/stickney-pa-283397088/to/near-41.838206,-79.178092/to/us/pennsylvania/corry-pa-282034711/to/us/oh/jefferson?ogimageStrokeColor=#5882fa The best roads are probably 27 from Meadville to Titusville, 770, was fun, and 346 if you ignore the 35mph limit. 666 would be more fun if it was in better shape. I’m not sure where you’re coming from but to me the place to start that route is Meadville. SEO is definitely better than this, but the route entertained me.

I believe Carter Lumber has a pole barn estimator on their website, at least they used to. You could use that and I would guess you could find a contractor that could give you a ballpark price per square foot to get a rough estimate. Carter’s estimate was a little high but it gave me an idea of what the cost would be.

I built a 24 x 32 last year 10ft wall height. It is an actual barn with 3 sliding barn doors and 1 garage door. I think I did it for like 6k. That is all materials. I did all the labor myself. I bought my metal from the Amish. Saved me $1000-1500. No warranty on metal of course, but I’ve not heard anything good about any of the warranties.

I might be in for this. Have to see what’s going on as we get closer to the date.

I had a blast on Monday guys. Thanks for organizing this Jacob and encouraging me to take my skirt off to ask for the evaluation. It was great to meet some new guys and catch up with others I know. I need to start working a side job in the summer so I can afford to do this track thing more often.

Bike loaded up and pretty much all set to leave in about an hour after I run to town for dinner with my daughter. Looking forward to beating on the bike tomorrow.

Glad to hear you’re good. Sorry about the bike.

That sucks. Are you okay, though?

The lady said they have to give you the bump essentially. She asked if I had ridden before with Mid O in intermediate. I told her no but I had ridden there last year in novice. She said that she was going to sign me up for novice but to speak with the CR about the bump.

Just signed up. I’ll be staying in my truck Sunday night. If you need someone to share cost of a garage I can do that or I have a canopy I can use. Tried to sign up for intermediate as Todd mentioned. They would not let me do it. So novice it is. Bike is almost completely ready, I just need to swap out the tail section and remove my plate. Took it for a quick rip into town all geared up. The back protector is going to take some time to get used to.

Started prepping the bike for Mid O. Swapped out roadsmart 3s (removing the rear tire was the worst) for Q3s. Changed coolant out and wired the oil filter. Working on swapping plastic. Can’t wait for Monday.

Jim I want this. PM me your number?

Thanks for the info

I’m trying to call to register but no answer at this point. I plan to be there. Working on prepping my bike now.

Somebody help @what out please

I’m planning on being there 1 of those days.

Thanks

I’m not going to make it. I went last year on a questionable day and only got 1 session in after lunch. Not looking to repeat that. I’m going to shoot for next week possibly.

Have you heard any rumors about Wayne being closed in the near future for drilling or something of that nature? Got some friends of mine that keep saying something about it.
