jschaf Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Funny you should say that. I was just getting ready to give the thread a bump myself. I'll definitely be out Saturday unless the weather is absolute crap. It would be good if you could make it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Yeah this is happening, was thinking today about an "official" route and timing. I'll have an idea in google maps form up tonight. Edited August 1, 2017 by jacobhawkins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 https://goo.gl/maps/7sigJYiLopF2 Ok, that's a start. Open to changing things up but that's pretty much what Rick posted up earlier and at least it's in map form. Timing? I have to work Saturday mornings, but I can work some extra hours and bail early. Getting to Otsego at 10 is good for me. How's that work for you @durk? I'm bad at guessing timing to various stops along the way and I'm too tired to do math now. Quick gas stop in New Concord, I'll be needing some about then after leaving Columbus. I figure we'd stop in McConnelsville for gas, candy bar, and a drink then get back toward 377. After that, who knows when the next gas stop will be. I don't need to be back home at any particular time, but I'd rather not dilly dally. Saturday weather looks perfect. 75 and sunny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompsonian Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 So is there a gas station in Ostego where the meetup is going to be? I can bust it up 77/70 in aboot an hour and half if that's where I need to be. Or I can catch the train in New Concord or McConnellsville. Doesn't matter to me. Just tell me when and where.

Hand tremors are fine unless you are shooting someone or threading a needle, just get some sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you prescribe yourself something for that? " Wind therapy, cycle therapy. PRN. Apply thrust and velocity as needed until tremors stop." See...something like that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke with @jacobhawkins this morning. I plan to meet him in New Concord around 10:30 and kickstands up by 11. I mentioned to him to maybe cut out the Ostego stop to save himself a stop. I'm not sure if he's going to do that or not. I'm sure he'll post what his final thoughts are. When I met him in Ostego there was no gas station where we met.

Be careful....looks like Google thinks there are 2 different OTSEGO's in ohio. And I always thought it was "OSTEGO" ! Who knew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Weather looks so perfect, route looks nice, list of names look classy, it's not even Friday and I am getting the "giggitty" feeling. So much for trying to 'not ride'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, coz last meet up some folks stayed at marathon and others at fuel mart lol marathon has lot more space to park if lot of bike coming, but restroom was NOT working last time I stopped there. May be @JustinNck1 who was there 2 weeks ago can chime in. Edited August 3, 2017 by NinjaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Fuel Mart is my vote, for the following reasons. 1. Tradition. That is where we always meet, don't move my cheese please. 2. Giant snak and beverage selection. 3. @Killer_kaw lives next door and often walks over to chat. In fact that is how we met him and he came to hang out here. 4. Plenty of parking along the wall. We had 10+ bikes there last week. 5. It isn't a shithole. Edited August 3, 2017 by Tonik 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) The Marathon has good space, that's about it. Restroom was working but you had to go get a key. Not much snack selection. I've never been to that Fuel Mart but it sounds like a better location. BTW: Ya'll suck. I wish I was going on this ride. I'm free Sunday if anyone wants to hit it 2 days in a row.
