Bad324 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 OhioFairWeatherRiderswell this is my favorite. I need this sticker for whatever bike comes next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 It's not worth it for me to get soaked early in the morning only to ride around damp all day. It wont be comfortable. Keeping my eye on the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm still trying to figure out how the weather can be so much worse in Lakewood than Seven Hills. I mean Lakewood sucks but the weather should be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 The whole theme behind the ride was to get the riders together, novice as well as experienced. > Not just Pros who can run through rain The whole idea is to have a good time riding motorcycle in enjoyable roads and weather > Endorphins over adrenaline The whole point is to built camaraderie rather than show of bravado As of now the chance of rain is 70% in morning when we have to set out for the ride. Not worth the risk to peer pressure and call out riders who are not comfortable with these settings. I would totally agree with Derek cancelling for tomorrow, and as of now sunday looks better. Or even post pone to different weekend altogether. If not postponed and its not raining in morning when i am supposed to leave i will be there Personally i cant do cold and rain since i cant run my heated for my tropical body and raynaud hand. If there is chance of rain in between a perfectly good day to ride, or couple of days during a long trip its perfectly okay. But just to get the motorcycle out to ride through rain mostly is a matter of extreme choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V3DT Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Both the 12th & 13th have a chance of rain, Sunday being slightly cooler with a little lower chance of rain. Saturday might not be that bad, I don't know... Well if this is still happening & if I'm going, I'll be sure to have a extra pair of cloths with me & my rain gear. Just think, in a few months you'll be missing this 60 degree weather. Edited September 11, 2015 by V3DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heagachongoose Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I actually really enjoy a casual ride in the rain. I was really hoping to make this so I could actually meet some of the regular OR smart asses lol. Just be safe, I'm sure there will plenty of slick spots in the shade. Especially down in the valleys. Here's to safe travels for everyone :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobhawkins Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 It'll be fine. If it doesn't happen, I'll likely be out and about Sunday regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekClouser Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) WE ARE A GO! RIDE WILL START AT 11:00 AM. No front in behind the current front. Should be clear by the morning. If anyone backs out I understand. Roads might be wet early, so show some caution but by the time the ride starts we should be clear. :Crosses fingers: Still plan to bring food and everything so even if you don't want to ride, you should come out and hang out! Wear your shirts and we shall see you guys around 10:30 at the meet spot. Edited September 12, 2015 by DerekClouser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theroamr Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Think I'm gonna bail guys. I love to ride and even like to ride in rain but if I can't ride at 80%(not with wet roads), then I just ride Sunday instead. Have fun guys.

theroamr Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Riding at 80% of my ability that is. In other words a good spirited pace. With wet pavement I dial it back and don't enjoy as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
