Cool. In the meantime, we could maybe ride up to QSL Valley view this Wednesday. I gotta finish some crap on my bike (radiator flush, safety wire,etc..), but I could have that done by tomorrow.

How about hang out/grab beers saturday in Kent and ride on Sunday? We could meet up, take 43 down to the Atwood region, do the lap around the lake, then take 183 to 172 back to 44 then back to Kent.

June or July?

Quick bump for next week. I'll be there on a blue R6 in the novice group. Looks like I'll have an STT coach in tow as well.

Well, now that 3-4 of you seem to live within 5-10 minutes of me, we might just pull it off. We keep running into scheduling/logistical issues with the guys up in Cleveland. Definitely some good roads south of Canton. I'm sure we could take a route down towards Coshocton and meet up with Kawi Kid and some of the Columbus crew. As far as dates go, the 12th is out for me as I will be returning from Miami that afternoon and I have to make an appearance at a wedding reception.

heck no. It's bad enough I'll be contributing to the local economy, I cringe just thinking about it. I view it as a test, why else would God put killer sand dunes in such a crappy, terrible state.

Just be careful if they are mounting/balancing tires for you. I've had them do 2, and I've had wheel weights come off of 2.

Hell, for the street it shouldn't be necessary. I think I'll go back and pitch a fit. Especially since the freakin service manager is the one who did the work.

I'm doing a suspension setup on Wed, then finishing packing for my trip to the Unnamed state up north.

Anyone else have bad luck with the stick-on vs the crimp on weights? I had one come off my front wheel, took it back to the shop, they rebalanced and said it was a rarity. Well, same shop mounted/balanced a tire for me last week, and now after one spirited ride, the lead was separating from the adhesive. I have it taped down now. I'm just unsure if I should take it back and bitch again, or take it elsewhere that won't use those crappy weights.

I'm by 224/43. good grief you guys are close.

We hit the canton QSL last week, mostly due to my tire not being fit to go further than the 12 miles or so it takes to get there. If we wanted to meet up, ride, and hit bike night, Valley View is a better option as we can take a route up through the valley and get some decent riding in.

Well if it backfires, I'm pretty sure you can blame me.

I totally understand man. How about a post work ride on Monday?

sorry dude, I got distracted with work stuff and didn't check the thread again. I'll PM you my number so you can just call and harass me about committing so I don't forget. I understand the last second thing being annoying. Happened last week with my ride to columbus. I'm still up for some riding in a few hours when the weather clears up.

hey, some of us were sucked into the meeting vortex all day and unable to post. I'm still up for a ride. looks like all the shitty weather is tonight.

only one way to find out

and thus enforcing my views of auditors....

I'm doing novice on June 30th, assuming work doesn't screw me over on that one.

You could always come with.

Picking my tire up today. We could do a cruise along the Lake Erie shoreline.

and the carrot cake, and chocolate mousse, etc.... I'm getting fatter just thinking about it.

While that may be true, the dugout suites are fucking awesome. Close enough to heckle the players, free food, free beer, and the dessert cart is unbelievable.

I'm 50/50 at this point. Depends on if my new rear tire comes in (cords started showing when I got to columbus yesterday) and I get a chance to put it on and get an oil change in. I'd have to be back by 3-4ish because I have dugout seats for the Indians game that night.
