dpgasser Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I know that this is a little early, but throwing the feelers out...as the weather forecast (flame on) looks now, Sunday might be prime for a good SEO ride to scout out the roads and just get back on two wheels!!! Will update with details on meet up place and time as it gets closer. Dave G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpgasser Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I woud definitely be down for this except my back is fup duc right now. Hopefully in a few weeks. Sorry to hear this Jim...get back to full strength soon! Define SEO lol Typically meet up in Bolivar or Millersburg and hit 83/93 to 78, 377, 550, 26, 260, 800, etc. We usually throw 556 in the mix as well. This ride will be something similar, but I imagine a little later start due to a cool morning - so we will not hit all of these most likely. Oh, can't you see? You belong to me. Police?

DerekClouser Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Going Saturday - Going to be a bit cooler, but also gives the day extra for recuperation, especially, being the first long ride of the year, I'm sure my body will not be pleased, but my brain definitely will!

Gump Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I might be out for a ride Sunday but y'all's definition of SE Ohio doesn't match mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heagachongoose Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 ^^ Same lol. I'm out for this sunday. I'd be down for a long ride the next Saturday though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgasser Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 This is my definition...and we will be riding in many of these Counties (obviously not all of them) DPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Do you have an idea of how many miles you plan on putting down? I don't think I've put more than 100-150 miles at a time at this point in the "season" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgasser Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Tim, these are generally pretty long rides - especially for you guys coming from Cleveland and points north. But it is worth it to hit some good roads and be out of the Winter! No one has definitely confirmed, so I am flexible with the meet time and route. I really just want to scout some roads and will not be doing an extremely brisk pace. Dave G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New to me bike. I'm in Harlem Springs. Millersburgs a haul, Bolivar not so bad, New Phili is a easy meet point.

Heagachongoose Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Depending on how far south you go, I can point you to some really good roads in lawrence gallia and scioto counties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgasser Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Depending on how far south you go, I can point you to some really good roads in lawrence gallia and scioto counties. Thanks for the offer and I may take you up on this in the future, but I have a buddy riding down from Mentor in Lake County, so we will not be going that far south - he is pushing 450+ miles on our "typical" rides as it is. But later in the riding season, I wouldn't mind exploring those Counties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heagachongoose Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Sounds good. Just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Sounds good. Just let me know. Could you toss it on google maps and give us the link so the rest of us can add the roads to our to do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heagachongoose Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm really not familiar with using google maps that way or I would. The big highlights in scioto county 125, 140, 93, 522, 650, 335, 139, woods ridge (chip seal), Greenbriar rd, Jackson fork rd, and if you feel like venturing into Pike county 335 continues into Pike and gets very interesting. 327 is also good. Park service roads (paved) in Shawnee state forest have some amazing views and turns, Pike forest too. As for Lawrence county; 141, 775, 217, 218, 243, 650, 93, 522, 790 (my favorite road in existence.), Hannan Trace rd, Basically any paved county road here is awesome. Lawrence co = low traffic very little patrolling EXCEPT in the Hanging rock area. HRPD has one of the highest citation rates in the country. Roads are usually clear. A few tricky places with badly marked signage. 5/6 20 degree hairpins. Scioto county: 125, 522, woods ridge, greenbriar, jackson fork, 335, park rds are all pretty clear. the rest are moderately trafficked. Roads are USUALLY pretty clear. I tried to get a ride assembled last summer but no bites. Here in the next month or so I will put together an other one. And hopefully have things mapped out by then lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgasser Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Okay...meeting Tpoppa in Millersburg at 10am, sidestands up and wheels rolling by 10:15am. Second meet spot in Otsego (where 83 and 93 intersect) around 11am (meeting roamr here). Continue on 83 from here to 78 and Gas stop in McConnelsville. Then 377, 550 into Marietta and 26, 260, 800 or something along these lines as we start heading back north. DPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgasser Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Doesn't appear to be much interest, but the meet time and place has changed to Bolivar DQ at 9:00am - wheels rolling at 9:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) You fuckers. I was all in for Millersburg at 10:00. Spent yesterday / today prepping and doing a shake down ride in anticipation of this years first real ride. There is no way I'm making Bolivar an hour earlier. You guys are nuts. It's going to be too damn cold for riding that early. Speed safely & have fun. I hate you all. Edited April 12, 2015 by Uncle Punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpgasser Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Sorry man...Tony had to bow out for family reasons, so it made more sense to meet Brian (coming from Mentor) in Bolivar. Brian made the call on the meet time, he must be immune to the cold! Wish I could have rode with you, next time post up your intention to participate earlier and we can make modifications to meet time and place to better accommodate. Next time.

Al Z. Heimer Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Have a safe ride you speedsters. Gotta do a couple shake down rides to see if the old bod has anything left. Not to mention it is only 32* at my place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm just whining. It's only 15 minutes longer for me to get to Bolivar but moving the start time up an hour just killed it for me this early in the season. I did zero prep for my body this year for riding and it showed yesterday. My hands hurt from turning the bars or stopping, my jacket shrunk somehow and has made it uncomfortable to move around in. I'm still getting kicked out of the house today so some sort of riding is in order. Apparently plans for today have been made around me being gone & I am not to mess them up by sticking my nose into them. Maybe I'll see you guys out there.
