POSTPONED TO SUNDAY May-20 (Weather): 2018 Spring Epic Ride (AL-Z-Heimer Memorial Ride) - May 19, 2018

Count me in... many regulars seem to be out for this ride, how firm are you with the date @DerekClouser?

Brooks will also be attending for the first time this year, so I will be in a slower group than usual, or may just lead our own small group.

We've always had this debate.  Any sooner and weather is definitely questionable, the following weekend is Memorial Day Weekend which is always bad and then goes into June which we've always avoided cause of Deal's Gap trip and racing season.

Can someone advise me of the general area this will take place in? I am in the Kings Island area and I'm thinking this will be up north?

It kind of varies mostly SE Ohio.  Couple meets have been in Hocking, a few have been in Caldwell.

Not sure who will set-up the meet for Dayton, sonce Helmutt and I are out.

But, I hope someone does.

I'd be happy to escort the group from the Springfield meet point. I live in Columbus now but that's not that far away. Snot/Helmutt - would you suggest using the separate thread to advertise the Springfield particulars versus leaving it in the main thread?

 

Derek, I'm in for the slow group and I can sweep as well.

I'm now tentative on this. OMRL race weekend  

[TimTheAzn]

Theres a PIRC weekend that weekend. If I can make that I'll probably be there. Ride safe everyone.

If you want to resurrect my past years Dayton area meet thread and amend it for your group, that would work well.  Always best to broadcast localized meet ups in their own threads so there's less to sift through and avoid confusion

[DUBIE]

Hey, Ill be there and ill try to set up the meet spot in Springfield at "Ride One Powersports" on Leffel Lane. 

[Gpaw]

Is this ride still on or is it cancelled?

[Tonik]

Still on. The organizer is in the middle of getting married. He will pick it up once he is back.

[Gpaw]

Thanks

They'll wait until it looks like it will be sprinkling rain then cancel it but most will ride it anyway.

I plan to make this. I hope the weather cooperates. It has sucked so far this year.
