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.

Here is a suggested ride. Let me know what you guys think. I put the peninsula winking lizard as the lunch stop.

I tried to link the following as a hyperlink, I couldnot do it. If anybody can help please repost. Just cut and paste the whole link below in a browser, it will show the route.

that's a pretty long ride dude, 3 hours 41 minutes :eek:

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 :badgerrock:

Here is your google route as a much smaller link. That route looks

doable for me. A good ride for me always ends up taking 4+ hours with

stops 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...

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 :slap:

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.

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.

If this is the 26th, I am officially OUT. I have to work in Macedonia Friday night and Saturday AM. Fuck.

+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.

I'm confirmed Saturday for the lake at this point, looks like it'll be an 11AM - 11PM thing at Catawba Island.

Anything going on Friday night or Sunday? Assuming I'm not working on my fence or grad school. I really need to get out with you guys. Weather dependent of course...
