Yeah Craig. That was me. Was taking a break after work before heading to QSL's bike nite.

Across the street from that parking spot is an awesome spur trail that follows a ridgeline down into Tinkers Creek. Was sitting on my camp chair on the ridge. Actually saw you ride by. Of course didn't really realize it was you.

Had fun last night. Thanks Jim for the tire-handoff. Was nice to finally meet your wife, as well as your friends.

I got a kick out of folks looking at Jim's bagger and looking again, and looking a third time, staring back and forth from the tire chained to his bike to his wheels. They really couldn't figure out WTF was up lol

Then walked next door with Pauly and had dinner and some killer Fat Head Hoppy shit

Then the others arrived and I got a nice hug from the SV  

thanks Blue for that hug. Meant a lot  

 

 

Then Pauly and I abandoned all fear of Bambis and tore through the Cuyahoga Valley on our way home. Was a fun ride.

Danimal, there was more than hugging going on with you and the old SV, we noticed bodily fluids on the gas tank when you unraveled from the bike!

You know why all of a sudden there is rain in forecast, I was exchanging calls to get this one weekend off for two weekend working. Gaaaawwwdddd dayuuuummmmm :yuno:.  Still it's gonna be less than 50% chance of spotty rain, and pretty warm. It's not gonna be ice cold and stormy

not 100% certain yet, about 90% waiting for call from other guy.  i am getting a crappy deal of weekend exchange and want to make sure at least its a ride able day to go explore SEO even if main ride cancelled.

I'll ride down with you, @NinjaDoc  

Pauly, you know me and  I wont sleep the night before for such a big ride :D to make it to the meet spot at 10:30 i will have to leave home by 6:00 in order to keep it all back roads. To leave around 6:00 i will have to wake up at least by 5:00. After these many years i realized no matter what tricks i try i am never getting any good sleep the day before big ride esp if i am thinking i have to wake up this early. Just keep staring at phone every one hour. Hence the solution for me is to ride down after work today all back roads and try to get to a place close by and stay overnight before sunset. Will likley leave around 5-5:30 and ride till 9 pm and possible stay at caldwell which seems to have reasonable priced rooms. Probably will get rained on today evening before i reach there from the weather prediction. 

 

i really feel bad for @DerekClouser seems like he just cant catch a break year after year, all pressure on him to make a call at the last moment and the weather never helps out. :mad: 

 

As of now the chance of rain is less than 30% for tomorrow morning session and temps in upper 70 which is warm enough. even with no rain suit on  :) If i am getting off i am riding no matter what. Hope at least few of you guys be there to meet up.
