Welcome, we need pictures of the bike add soon as it comes in! I'm in Cleveland as well.

If it had a job I'd make you an offer! GLWS someone needs these in thier life!

My friend is also running the CRG arrows, with the CRG billet Adaptors.

I'm running the Rhinomoto bar ends and CRG arrow mirrors on the 09, I asked my buddy about the 07 and I'll post up when I get the answer.

Took a little ride yesterday. This pictures is from our trip back down 164. Ran into a grumpy bagger on the way up. We had been following him and his pinnion up 164 to Kilgore. He pulled into the general store lot on the corner and we did the same because a semi jumped in front of us and we didn't want to follow that all the way up. I said hi and he just cursed under his breath and pulled out of the lot. I think that was really uncalled for. Passed him the opposite way later in the day on route 212 and rightfully gave him the bird.

I could be tempted to join

I've been tempted to do something similar. I'm interested in in exploring this Western bits of this route.

I love watching people's runs, sad I'm not making this year.

Looks like it cleared up, it was torrential down pour when I would have left to get on the road. Hopefully we can get another one in before the end of the season.

I sure hope so, I just know if I swing a leg over that cloud will follow me all the way, lol. Happens every time I tempt fate. Just like @NinjaDoc little India fable.

Yeah, it's looks like it's going to be rain all night and all day tomorrow up north. Sorry guys, I'm not making the trip down with rain all the way. I say we call an audible and try again in a few weeks.

I guess I can take a good ribbing for suggesting a reschedule. Not much fun feeling like a drowned rat, but I definitely would like to get to meet a bunch of OR people in person.

Okay, sounds like a plan. I'll check back in after my ride.

Yeah, this whole situation is just glaring fubar! I just don't know what world I live in sometimes.

It looks like we got serious rain projected for both Saturday and Sunday. Should we consider pushing this back a couple weeks? I don't really feel like riding in the rain. I much rather have dry roads and a faster pace! Thoughts?

Well it might not be the largest crowd, but it's a gathering none the less. In these Covid days it's hard to ask for much more. I for one am looking forward to going and meeting those that are able to make it.

I'm definitely in, looking forward to meeting whoever makes it.

Thanks @NinjaDoc i feel like you understood my point about casual browsers. Though I'm not sure we really need to make any adjustments. I agree that merging the threads would be confusing. I just posted the new tread so that people would have a reference to planning details.

Yo yo...I hear ya.... As I said throwing ideas out there...I personally don't really care and didn't find anything I've seen here so far offensive. I tend to play the devil's advocate a lot and push the counter viewpoint to further conversations.

Just some questions that I thought might have some bearing on the discussion. What face does the OR forum want to present to new members? Without historical context, new members can't read between the lines and assign meaning to the intentions of commenters. Shouldn't the establishment and protection of an inviting, safe and comfortable environment be the objective? Would this further the desire to expand participation and grow membership? I don't know, not saying that the original thread prompted these questions, but these occurred to me as the discussion unfolded here in this thread. Food for thought

This link should show you where the boat ramp is! McConnelsville Boat Ramp 2555 St Rt 376 N,, McConnelsville, OH 43756 https://maps.app.goo.gl/33PSkSNRh78cixEf6

Route 50 would be infinity more interesting than 30. Depending on how much time you don't mind losing along the way there are several places to make some fun detours!

I've never converted a file before but it's super easy. I've been meaning to get a gps unit so I can stop using my phone. Good to know I can get the files setup.

See if this works mapstogpx20200621_174752.gpx

Yeah, I've found that pace is subjective so that can kind of sort itself out. I try to do only one ride day a weekend so I can spend one with the wife also.
