Blitz Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Fast paced ride tomorrow leaving from Columbus and most likely heading South. Meeting at Block's Deli (Main and McNaughton) at 11:30, may grab a sandwich before heading out. I'm meeting a group of guys I ride with there, so I tend to have to go with the flow as far as schedule. But the intent is to meet there at 11:30 and head South. Take advantage of the beautiful weather while it lasts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 These guys tend to kind of wing it. But we'll be going down to 78 and then maybe 284 and probably back on 669, would be my guess. If you want to ride, I might just leave from here and head out and we'll ride whatever route we want.

Blitz Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Yeah, my tuna melt this morning was the shit.Good ride minus the rain on 78. I took 669 home and it was dry as a bone. So I turned around and rode it back and forth. Really wish the rain would have held out cause I was wanting to ride till dark today. But oh well. Good to get out for a little while. Catch you next time Dan. You have my number if you're free to ride any time during the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzledan Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'll definitely be out next Sunday as I've got it off. Hopefully the weather stays nice. Editing video now (he said it was all right to upload). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Yeah, I want to see that. Join Group Ride Columbus on Facebook. That's the guys we rode with today. What did you guys do after McConnelsville? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzledan Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Limped it home between rain clouds. Figures that 669 would be dry. I was thinking there's no way it's dry, the whole south of the state had gotten rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 He was way out of shape going into that right hander. He should have been in the left hand side of the lane. If he'd have been there, he would have hit the apex, leaving him in a better position to go back to the left. He left himself with nowhere to go.He had a bad day, losing his cell phone too.... Oh well. A learning experience for sure. Glad he was ok. His gear saved his ass.Yeah....I didn't think 669 would be dry either. Glad it was though. I got a good hours worth of riding up and down it while it rained all around me. Definitely plan to ride mid-week sometime. Maybe Tuesday morning..... Hutch, Dan, you guys have plans Tuesday morning?

Blitz Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 No plan. Just meet early-ish....10 or 10:30 and ride for a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to see, but was there gravel on the road that took him down or did he just go wide and target fixate and hit the gravel off the road?

Blitz Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 More of the second than the first....but I honestly don't think he target fixated. I think he took a really bad line and went wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his own words, he didn't calculate the apex of the turn correctly (blind hill) and was too far right. He tried to ride it out in the gravel/ditch, but the gravel turned into a rut and threw him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzledan Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm no good for Tuesday. Thursday or Sunday would be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm no good for Thursday and probably can't Sunday either. Hutch and I are going to ride tomorrow for a bit, 10am at KFC if anyone wants to join. Otherwise, I'll try to make it out Sunday. But it's doubtful.
