DerekClouser Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) As some of you may remember from last couple years, my twin brother passed away in a motorcycle accident on July 12, 2012. The closest Saturday (weather permitting) to that date, I always try to make it a point to take a ride in his memory. Anyone interested in riding is welcome. I know vintage days at Mid-Ohio is also this weekend and quite a few have agreed to that. I did just get a new bike, so pace will be according to how I feel on it, if I feel uncomfortable, the faster guys can always take the lead and if I feel fast, I will wait for anyone at stop signs/turns. Meet at 83/250 in Wooster at the MinitMart.. Kickstands up at around 8am. Route will be 83-78-377-550-7-800-26-260-78-83 https://goo.gl/maps/Hbckfept65y Anyone who wants to attend but can't ride the full route is welcome to jump in or jump out at any point they want... just let us know when that will be so we can look for you or know you dropped out to head back and nothing bad happened. This ride is a go, weather permitting. Post up if you are interested. Edited July 7, 2016 by DerekClouser 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Wish I could join you Derek, but working the weekend. But I am sure many will join to ride as this will be a beautiful weekend and share the day and memories with you. Sorry again for your loss and next year I will join you for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 What time are you planning to start your ride Derek? If it's early enough I may be able to join in. I have to be back up here in no mans land by 3:30 is my problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekClouser Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 If this goes down, ride will start in Wooster about 8am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 That means I need to hit the road by 6am. That's early but possible. How long of a route are you thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long of a route are you thinking? Planning on heading down to the river or so. So for me 400+miles, but again people can jump in, jump out as needed to fit their schedules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'll keep watching this. I can probably ride with you until at least noon and longer if by that time you're starting to head north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
330racing Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Wish I could go, way too long for and old guy on a supersport. I feel like I knew him but never met. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'm in, out of respect for you and your brother. I will probably peel off pretty quick though and search for a faster group. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Wooster at 8 is too early and 400 miles is too long for this old pussy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wheels>4 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm in C'bus, but sounds like I am free on Saturday and the weather is looking great. 8am to Wooster isn't happening, but I would be interested in dropping in with you mid-transit.

We can both peel off early and pick up the pace. You are way closer than me to Wooster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekClouser Posted July 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Well whaler has confirmed he is in which makes this ride a go.... weather permitting. Route will be fairly standard, 83-78-377-550-7-800-260-26-78-83 with lunch in Marietta. Jump in or peel off at anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Tempting. Still gun shy after crashing the TL on my last group ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think of it as a group ride. No one will be pushing you, just ride your own ride. But ultimately, up to you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo72 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'd love to join in but I should probably get some solo time in on the new ride before I try a group ride. Sorry about your bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekClouser Posted July 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I've updated the first post to include meet spot, route, and renamed title to remove the 'feeler' part since this is going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-no-moto Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I would like to join. I rode 550 a couple weeks ago and would of liked to hit a few others. About what time will you be on 78 or even 550. Its about a 1 1/2 slab ride for me plus i will have a couple of newbies in tow so i hope i pace isnt to fast for them but fast enough to enjoy on the sport bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
