  5. What did you do to your bike today?

    in Daily Ride

    Posted · Edited by Muckles

    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 ran the posted route in this thread backwards today. Good times. I have never run 377 beyond 555. That road just keeps on giving. 550 was great right off 377. Fun times. I hope we can get a decent size group together to run it as a group ride. I did tack on some additional roads to the loop. I have a hard time not riding 800 north out of Fly. 

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

    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.

    Right call, but I hope it is dry tomorrow so we can mock you.

    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.

    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?

    I think what @Muckles was trying to say is people with really loose flexible inner and thick outer can break and squeeze into the OR circle and feel at home. I believe Muckles is one of them, most folks who skim through the threads won’t get the inside jokes and banter and overall feel of this forum. And hence hard to get new members. But... the big butt question is, just like anything in this world. Where do we draw the line... thin margin between over moderation and having relaxed easy fun, may be just have the intro thread visible to new members until they have 3 new post something like that, by then we can do our welcomes and stuff and then show them the brutal battle royal waiting for them. 

    Thanks @NinjaDoc i feel like you understood my point about casual browsers.  Though I'm not sure we really need to make any adjustments.

    Is there a way for it to be merged below the new thread Muckles started? I know he loves to plan stuff like these. That way rest of the folks who replied in there get notified of new reply and such. 

    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.

    Fuck yo safe space. We're on the interwebz and this is Ohio Riders.

     

    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

    Thanks, works fine. most of my epic rides go over to the river. this is nice and shorter.

    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.

    I plan to show up as long as the weather is  good on Saturday. I am willing to lead a group. I’m not sure what you classify my pace as. If you’ve rode with me it will be my normal pace (medium fast🤷‍♂️). I cannot make Sunday, however. 

    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.
