durk Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 I’m planning to ride this Saturday as long as the weather holds. I’m thinking my usual 83-78-377-555-676-7-Lunch-26-260-800-26-260-145. I’m planning medium fast pace. If you’re interested let me know. I’m guessing I’d be in New Concord at 10-10:15, leave by 10:30 for sure. Not sure if I need to say this, but I won’t be wearing a mask. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatWilbur Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 If you don’t mind, I would like to join you. I’m in Coshocton and could meet you as you come down 83. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatWilbur Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 If you are coming down 83, when you get to Coshocton, you take 16 for a few miles to connect up to 83 S. On 16 there is a Marathon that we could me at https://www.google.com/maps/place/Marathon+Gas/@40.2556897,-81.8703039,13.08z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x3b97aec9352e0a87!8m2!3d40.2708815!4d-81.8770419 Does the work for you?

FYI....ODOT is currently paving 555 from Ringgold to Chesterhill.Last weekend they had the first coat from Ringgold to about 4 miles from Chesterhill.A fun, challenging ride on a section of 555 that is usually a POS. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not picking up 83 until New Concord. I’m making a short run on 70 over to 83. There’s a marathon station right there at the exit that we could meet. I plan to be there between 10 and 1015. You could just run 83 down to there. You’re a little north of where I’ll be picking up 83. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the weather's good you want to do something similar next weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 @Muckles it’s hard to do back to back weekends for me. For some reason my wife likes to spend time with me and usually it’s hard to get away 2 weekends in a row. If she has something planned it may be possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 @FatWilbur I’m in Cadiz now. I’ll probably be in New Concord a little early. No need to rush, however, 10 is fine. Look forward to meeting you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatWilbur Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 @Durk made it home. I had a lot of fun riding with you... a lot of good roads. I can't thank you enough for fixing my punctured tire. I made it into Caldwell and was loosing a bunch of air so I picked up a tire plug kit, a little knife, and tire gauge at the advanced auto parts store. Then went to a Marathon close by and followed what you did this morning. It kept the pressure until I got home. No way I would have known what to do if I didn't see you do it. Hope I can ride with you again sometime! I got a nice souvenir 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durk Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 I know last year there was some discussion about whether to post rides or not. I said then that I had never had a bad experience posting here and once again OR proved to be an awesome place to post a ride and meet new responsible riders. Pete @FatWilbur is a great guy and level headed rider. He did end up with a punctured tire on 676. Thankfully quoting @B-Mac Durk has a flashing strobe brake light and a huge DeadHookerBag on his seat rack that makes me think I am following "Biggie Smalls." in said bag and under my seat I have plugs and a compressor. In 10-15 minutes we were back up and running. Unfortunately later in day Pete was shredding the roads pushing me so hard his tire started to spit the plug and slowly leak, so he made the wise choice to make his way home. Most of the roads were in good shape today. 537 had some new pavement in the beginning but quickly fell to crap. It is scheduled to be closed soon. 377 continues to be one of my favorite roads.

Would love to but she is deathly afraid to ride even though back in the day her and I both had our own cbr600 F2s. She’s afraid to be a passenger or ride her own. Occasionally she’ll surprise me and say let’s take a ride to Geneva on the Lake or to dinner, but that’s a very rare occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my wife won't even try getting on the back. She's never been on a motorcycle. I'm an trying to not be pushy but I do ask her every now and again, but have yet to strike gold. Maybe one day.

Thanks @durk. Same to you. I’m not sure I was shredding but I will take it. When we turned onto 377, I lost site of you very quickly. I had a blast today and loved the entire route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were dragging pegs on the dragon last spring and she fell asleep on 28..lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
