magley64 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 yes they cancelled AGAIN! They are burning up all my vacation days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 We was just going to rev it up as we passed but we thought that would be just to cruel...yes they cancelled AGAIN! They are burning up all my vacation days...Dude......Can't you just find out what day the bigger towns offer it, and ride there to take it unscheduled? IIRC.......ours does it on certain days of the week. You just show up & get in line/wait your turn.....and we're only a town population of ~ 40,000. You're over by Akron/Canton/Cleveland/Youngstown....right? That way you quit wasting your vacay days, and maybe you could still get it in this week, so you can go with us Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 anywhere I've looked you have to schedule it ahead of time, and it's usually in the morning on a weekday...looking again:Ashtabula county:Tuesday 17th 9:00 amTrumbull County: Tuesday 24th 9:00 amLake County:Thursday july 3rd 10:00 amGeauga: Tuesday july 1 10:00 ameither way, i'm still burning vacation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 either way, i'm still burning vacationI realize that, since it seems they still have a set start time, but at least this way you've got some options based on weather forecast. Can you register for several different ones/days to cover your bases, or do they put you in a statewide computer system that shows you've already registered for one at another location, & won't allow anymore?

MadMax33 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm a bit new to the boards but count me in. I hit Rt.30 and Rt.9 quite a bit since I live fairly close to that area. Sounds like a pretty good time and twisties are always fun. I have a friend in Toledo but he doesn't ride at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 First part of the storm just started rollin' through here 'bout an hour ago.....Hopefully 24 hours is enough time for it to clear. Gonna watch the noon news in a fewWhat town's was that one Duane? Mine was Toledo's. It's gonna be close!! If I call this due to weather......It's probably gonna be last minute due to the storm movement. Looks like it's still heading NE, which bodes well for us.Did you get the last email OK?

Fonzie Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 OK......Partial change in plans here. With the weather lookin' good in OH,but shiddy for Pitt tomorrow, Dweez has offered to take us south from his meet point on 30/9, to some roads he knows heading over to the Coshocton/Columbus area.We're gonna postpone the Pitt part for a few weeks. Earliest I can do it is the 28th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Okay, here's a map of the possibly updated trip. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=8435432761145005211,40.279143,-81.876352&saddr=Hanoverton+OH&daddr=400+N+Whitewoman+St+%4040.279143,-81.876352&mra=cc&dirflg=h&sll=40.539895,-81.400452&sspn=0.761854,1.752319&ie=UTF8&z=10This also may open it up for more Columbus peoples since we'll be damn close anyways. The roads down are awesome, all are recently paved, with no major holes or damage to speak of. From Hanoverton it's a published 2.5 hr ride, but even a a leisurely pace I cover it in about 2 hrs.On a side note, early Ohio settlers were VERY un-creative with the names. Like Newcommerstown, Crooksville (bet that was hard to settle). Also on a positive note... There is a Sparta OH. I SO want to make a trip there just to get a pic in front of the sign! and you know someone painted "THIS IS" above the SPARTA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
