r1crusher Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Fack....I'll be at Hill'n Dale in Medina doing hand gun instruction for Women in the Outdoors. I most likely won't get out of that until after 4pm. Maybe I could hook up with you guys after I'm done.As for the Metro parks, they offer a slower pace and you can hit a few corners mildly but beware of the po-po. Scenery is always nice and cool if you start on the very north end because you're in the valley. There's also the "other" scenery as in hotties ridin' bicycles and jogging.....mmmmmm.....spandex.

thomez Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 that's a pretty long ride dude, 3 hours 41 minutes the only thing bad about that is that it is an hour plus just to get to the starting location but I would probably do that, eat lunch, travel to Cuyahoga Falls with the group and then just head home from there great lunch stop though for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Here is your google route as a much smaller link. That route looksdoable for me. A good ride for me always ends up taking 4+ hours withstops for hydration/restroom/lunch. I might end up splitting off in Avon though to head back to Lorain rather than go all the way to the end.Here is that link...http://tinyurl.com/5mtjmh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hey Guys,That was just a suggestion please feel free to change/reroute, we still have the whole week as well. Please feel free to join and you can split up the ride at your comfort level. I am in South Euclid so the starting point is around 40 minutes ride for me as well. How about the starting time around 10 AM from the Heinen's parking lot in Rocky River ? And thanks a lot David for the "tiny URL" I was messing up something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 ...I am in South Euclid so the starting point is around 40 minutes ride for me as well. How about the starting time around 10 AM from the Heinen's parking lot in Rocky River ? Me and InyaAzz are both about 30minutes from the start as well, so that seems about fair. 10am is fine with me, I was gonna PM InyaAzz and suggest that he and I meet up around 9:15 somewhere in Lorain and ride out together, so does that sound alright Inya??Also, where exactly are we gonna meet up in Rocky River, I don't know where the Heinens is, I haven't been in that area for over 10years!How about a head count too, how many people are we expecting? I am definetly in and may have one or two friends with me, or might just be me, don't know for sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm 'supposed' to be out on the lake all day on Saturday, but if it's nice and those plans fall through, I'd like to get out with you guys. Keep me in the loop - I'm in Elyria, so I figure my ride time to the "starting point" would be similar to david's and Inya's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMax33 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Alright Kosmo, just don't leave me in the dust if it starts to downpour. I like to keep it in the double digits when it starts to rain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc_spirited Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 +1 on Kinzu Dam. I want to go back there, but I think it will wait until next year.The metroparks is okay, there is one really good section and that is between 480 and berea, but I rarely ride through there without seeing a ranger.On the 26th there is a Benifit/Rally for that cop that just got killed from Twinsburg. It leaves Southeast harley davidson and it rides to the Oakwood/Twinsburg. I will probably be doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomez Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I guess I should figure out the address of such Heinens because I'll probably be out late tonight and not want to get up at 6am to get directions ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
