Similar ride to @Pauly... Left around 7:15 am to meet the rest of the crew in Canton at depart by 8:30. Definitely chilly this morning, makes me want to get done heated great. Headed down to 751/93/83 to the muskie bucket. Took 78/377/555/676 into Marrietta. Had lunch at Arby's took 26/260/565/145 then cut through a back road to 78/379/147/800 the bolted up 800/799/250/646/212/77 and back home. Got home at 7 pm with 458 miles.

I guess I find out tomorrow, @pauly your more than welcome to meet up tomorrow. I'll send you my cell in a DM but I'm starting at 8:30 in Canton. Means I'm leaving my place at 7am. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1i9hBvfPuwmLc3qtd1SHEWEI7AAMM14gq&usp=sharing

Looks like fun! I'm ended up planning to lead a small group down the loop past the muskie. Leaving out of Canton @ 8:30 pace will be more subdued compared to the OR pace. We may pass each other down in the 26 area.

@durk did you have a plan for Monday?

Great, I'll make sure to send you a message right before I head down for the week.

I'm going to have to make a point of going there one of these days! I'm spending a week July 17 - 24 right outside Logan, Ohio on a family vacation. I plan on riding most days in down there. It a good launch point for rides. If anyone wants to plan to meet up one of those days let me know and we'll put together a ride.

I'm still in the act of aquiring gear, an airbag vest is on the list here in the near future. I bought a mesh jacket last year and it's a god send when paired with super wicking athletic fabric. What the research I've seen is that good mesh has the same abrasion resistance as other textiles. Though I'm always trying to learn more about gear. I put a wind screen on my MT 09 in the off season to provide a little protection on the freeway, but I think the only thing it is really doing is directing more bugs to get splattered on my visor, lol.

Though I don't think we have met yet, I knew the bike looked familiar. The weather was great for a ride, today. Maybe a tad on the toasty side.

It's definitely a little sketch, but it way shorter then the posted detour. I'd 100% repeat.

No the unmarked one past the graveyard

Rode with @Rick today met in Salem headed down 45/164 sketchy detour around the bridge in Bergholz took this to 9 took 9/148/145/26 to Arby's for lunch in Marrietta. Headed out of Marietta on 821/145/260/78/379/147 into barnesville. 800/799/250/646/151/332/9 back to Salem. It was a hot one today, so much for it being cloudy as they called for on the weather

Looks like the great state of Ohio is going to ruin the end of 164.

Depending on the day, I'd show up for coffee and a doughnut.

Made a good call spinning off from you two when I did. Made it back to new Philly in time without having to rush. Good time we'll have to do it again!

I'll meet you at the Concord marathon at 10:30.... I Have to be back in New Philly by 4:15 pm. It should be okay if I just break off at the 800 / 22 junction.

I'll update when I know for sure✌️

Darn, I'd really like to join you for this ride. Unfortunately, my new boss is having an end of tax season gathering and its probably in my best interest to show up. Though it doesn't start till 5 pm in Massillon... I'm considering riding the bike anyways so I might be able to join for a major portion. .. We'll have to see.

Put new tires on and install 90* valve stems. Learned about about what to do when changing tires.l

Not directly bike related but found a use for my latest stimulus check.

That is definitely a quality piece! I won't insult you with my budget, lol. I was trying to keep it below fifty. I thought there might be someone that upgraded out of a Trackside or cheaper chock to a Baxley or other higher quality unit.

Definitely, not....shhh I didn't say anything

Yeah the wife nixed me getting another helmet. Loved this design and I love my current quantum x.

Looking for a wheel chock similar that the one pictured here. This one is a Trackside brand. I'm trying to set the trailer up here for a second bike for a trip to the dragon this summer. Hoping someone might have one sitting around unused that will be willing to let it go at a reasonable price. Thanks, Muc

I really enjoyed RT 27! Quite a fun little route usually catch it coming back from the allegheny national forest.

It was tempting day to ride for sure!
