MiDe84 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Wow crazy Xray pictures. That Tour De Cause was really really good. I will be there next year for sure. Map My Ride Evan is one tuff fucker. I hate to admit it but even with his broken wrist he was still making me work my ass off on the hills towards the end. I need more hill practice. I have off tomorrow and thinking about doing another sorta long ride 40 ish miles. Anyone wanna go? Any suggestions? Edit: Hey Evan what was that trail that goes from Columbus to Newark? You guys said it was nice maybe I'll do that tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/35082818 its the Thomas J. Evans trail. you should park at the johnstown HS, ride out of the lot and take a right onto 37, take a left on concord rd, and you'll pick up the trail maybe 3/4 mile down on the right. now, on my map at mile 14.1 ish is the bridge i told you is blocked off, but i got around the barriers when that map was made. idk if they started working on it yet. if you dont want to chance it, instead of taking the left off the trail at mile 13.8 on my map, head straight and the trail will run into i think main st in newark...you can take a left on that and go down a mile or two and turn right on 30th st and theres a subway a couple hundred yards down on the left its a decent 30+ mile rote depending where you go from newark...you can browse through my maps too see if you want to try any of those too...mostly on NE side of town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiDe84 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Went for another ride today. It was not to bad when in the cover of the trees. But on the roads with the sun beating down it was hotter than hell. I do not think I have ever drank so much water from a fountain in my life lol. After the ride I got in the car and it said it was 100 hot damn. Map My Ride I think im going to work on making a route that does the entire Olentangy trail with a loop around the State house then on the way back a little tour of OSU. I think it would be close to around 40 miles. Definitely going to wait for a cooler day for that lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Nice Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Ok, so Pelotonia lit a fire under me. Jsut rode the 23 mile route saturday and tonight when I got home I up and headed out for a ride. Didn't plan too, but I couldn't resist. I'll post a few pics in the pic section. I see now how you guys ride such long distances now. I never thought I'd ride the 23 mile route when i signed up. It was more of a personal challenge. Tonight I rode 15.98 and had to stop due to the sun setting. It's addicting. Can't wait to get up early tomorrow and ride before work. EDIT: This Map My Ride thing, the BlackBerry app has terrible reviews. How well does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 On my android phone its excellent. Compared to mikes gps on the last ride, we were within .02 mile of each other on a 30 mile route. Thats what i use to track my total mileage...my cyclometer is about 2% slower than my gps, and my buddies cyclometer is 2% fast...i only use it for a general idea on speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'd just like it to track the generals. Specifics aren't really necessary for me. What does Mike have? BlackBerry or iPhone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 i think his is a garmin brand...he said it was a few hundred bucks but he uses it for other stuff...it was nice for the tour ride we did in july, he loaded the maps, and just yelled out when to turn left/right...none of us really had to bust out the paper maps except for one detour where a bridge was out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Nice. I need to get into more group rides. I was looking at the roll: site. Looks like they have some good C Class rides weekly. maybe I'll get into those soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: This Map My Ride thing, the BlackBerry app has terrible reviews. How well does it work? Fun isn't it? I do not think I ever saw myself riding as much as I am now. It really is great to just go out and kick your own ass and enjoy it lol. I did not get a chance to do Pelotonia this year but I WILL be doing it next year for sure. I heard it was an excellent event. i think his is a garmin brand...he said it was a few hundred bucks but he uses it for other stuff...it was nice for the tour ride we did in july, he loaded the maps, and just yelled out when to turn left/right...none of us really had to bust out the paper maps except for one detour where a bridge was out I use a Garmin Dakota 20. I originally purchased it for Geo-Caching but find myself using it more for my bike now. If you wanted to go the route of gps I would recommend the Garmin Edge series. I wish i was off before 8 during the week to ride after work...i dont go in til 11, so i could ride before, bit since everyone is at work, id have to ride solo, which gets boring after a while What? I just did a 11 mile ride at like 12:30am. Its great at night. so much cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 yeah, you're fucking crazy. no way i'd be riding at night, even with so few cars on the road and an outfit made of LED lights. lol. cant see shit on the road, no thanks. lol. i just hopped on the trainer for 30 minutes pushing my highest gear, kicked my ass. thursday should be nice. 85 and partly cloudy. im thinking hoover to johnstown to galena and back to hoover. should be 37ish via google maps. i'll get your email tomorrow and send you the route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Stupid app on BB won't connect the GPS. Argh.... Thursday should be great. Haven't gotten to ride since Monday. Sucks. Wish I could've gotten out today but 9.5 hour work days with no lunch owns me. So....why is there not a CR Cycling Crew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/47769834 Got out for 38.5 miles today with Mike (SRTmike08) and Grant (GMoney)...2:20...nice night to get out. i made the mistake of not snacking early enough before, and figured a bagel would be enough 30 min before the ride...before mile 4 after that first hill, i felt like i was going to throw up. stomach was killing me...had to stop for a few minutes and let that go away. afterwards all was good and i will say, mike has made a huge improvement over the first time i rode with him 7/16...then, he was hurting by mile 25ish and having a hard time keeping up...last couple times ive ridden with him, he leaves me behind bad...thats the advantage of having long ass legs and being so thin. my legs are killing me, probably top 3 pain wise ive had after a ride...i know ill be sleeping good tonight...and if the wind isnt too bad from that hurricane this weekend, might head out again Edited August 26, 2011 by evan9381 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
