JCMathis Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Since we got rained out for the May 10th ride I am rescheduling the May ride for the 24th. We will meet at Iron Pony at 9:00 am and planned to depart at 9:30. The ride is a 208 mile loop taking us down through the Hocking Hills area. Click on this link http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4560983 to see the route we will be taking. Hope many of you can make it. All type of bikes and beliefs are welcome. Nobody gets left behind.

OhioBob Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Awesome to hear that the CSBA is still around. I finally got a sportbike so I can join. I know you don't need a sportbike, but it seems odd to me to be a part of a club that has sportbike in the name without owning a sportbike. Anyways, I won't be able to make it this time, but I will keep an eye out for future rides. If you all ever get down my way. Let me know St Rte 247 in Adams County is very nice and twisty. Also, St Rte 125 around Blue Creek and Shawnee State Forest is nice and twisty too. Love those roads.Also, my church has a yearly ride event every 3rd Sunday in June.OhioBob <*//>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I would like to do some of these rides, but I will not be around that weekend. Any problems with sport-touring bikes on future rides? Edited May 16, 2014 by Connie14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banditj13 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 so what is the typical pace with the CSBA group? I am still trying to get used to leaning this thing beyond the cruiser corners... as of now, count me in, assuming I can keep up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCMathis Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Bob, it would be great to see you out there sometime this year. Glad to hear you picked up a sport bike.Connie14, I ride a triumph sprint St 100 so sport touring bikes are certainly welcome.Bandit, as far as pace. We have been know to run a pretty quick pace in the past but I would like to back it down some. Either way though, your pace is what you are comfortable with and we will not leave anyone alone. We wait for everyone to gather back up at each intersection we turn on. The best way to get more comfortable leaning that bike over is to ride with others that can show you a line to take.

banditj13 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Barring any "external influence"...I will be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banditj13 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 JC - after riding with the slow group yesterday on the EPIC ride, what pace is "normal" for the CSBA group?10 over on straights and 5-10 over suggested around tighter corners is about my comfort right now... don't want to slow any one up to much on the ride...still plan on coming along, even if I have to tag along at the back of the pack...

MidgetTodd Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 You get faster by riding with faster riders. We do a brisk spirited pace thru the twistie stuff but a responsible pace in the straights. You will not be left behind. We wait at all intersections to bring the group back together. If you are having probs with pace or corners speak up and one of us will help with some pointers on your riding. I'll personally hang back and work with you if needed. If you really want to improve do a track day. I'm at Mid Ohio a lot and will help you there too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calinazaret Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I wish I could. I'm sure I won't have my sprocket finished by then though and it definitely doesn't have another ride in her before I get that thing changed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claine650 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 So any idea how many might be attending this? If I get lucky and my tires get here Friday or before, I'd like to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCMathis Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Since this will be the first group ride this season I cannot say but we usually have between 4 and 10 riders. It has certainly been more in the past but on average it is less than 10. Hope you can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calinazaret Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Not finished as in just need some help to get it done ?Ha, yeah I was going to take her somewhere since I've never done a sprocket before and didn't want to waste time figuring it out at the height of the riding season. Although, it appears I don't even have time to take her somewhere :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Not going be able to make it, wont be free till between 11 and 12. So I doubt I can even try to catch up somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'll be there, I had a great time on the Epic ride Sunday and this sounds fun. I see you're cool with sport-touring bikes, I'll be there with my FJR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
