Bubba Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) LocalRiders crew annual tradition of the Winter Solstice Ride to Serpent Mound to lobby Old Man Winter to take it easy on us. Roads were pretty wet and greasy and I got dumped on during the return trip with the torrential rains in late afternoon. I got in about 180 miles in the rain, but it was a great ride with good friends. Toasted a loved and admired LR member who passed away from cancer almost exactly one year ago. Kudos to Dave Bannister for bringing the Bailey's and coffee! Thanks to George DuChaine for the pics!

Bubba Posted December 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 @trentwilson43056 Sorry about that. Previous years, I've posted a link here to the LocalRiders forum once the ride plans were formalized. Never got any takers, mostly because the majority of OR folks are far enough north of Cincinnati to make a long winter day ride less than enjoyable. You can always lurk on the LR site--it's an open forum for viewing. And the ride is almost always on a Sat or Sun before/after the Solstice, weather depending. Occasionally, if the weather is completely horrible around that time frame, we'll combine the Solstice ride with a short New Year's Day ride just to say we tempted fate. NY's ride could happen this year, but nothing's posted yet... Here's the forum link: http://www.localriders.com/ and there's a FB page for the group as well. Not as large a forum as OR so it gets kind'a dead during non-riding months, and mostly older "mature" guys, many of whom are ex-racers from the 70s and later. Nearly all are very competent riders, prolly somewhere between a medium and a fast pace on the road. Our big group trip is always in the fall the week after Labor Day, to the Waynesville area of NC.
