Great ride today guys. Especially that first bit before we regrouped at the gas station; those the fastest sweepers I've ever done, and it felt pretty badass to be on my scrappy 650 and keeping up with you guys who know the roads and are on much faster bikes :D I'm sure you weren't pushing that hard, but it was a nice little treat for me :) I almost died laughing when Elliot asked if he was slowing me up and if I wanted him to drop back a spot :lol: Can't wait to make another trip up there again and take a much longer ride!

To everyone who got separated: I'm really sorry about that, I have no idea what happened. One minute you were there and the next we're down to 5. At first I assumed you got stopped by the traffic light and would catch up, so we continued on at a pretty slow pace. I misunderstood hand signals from the guy with the 848 (sorry, I'm terrible with names); I thought he was just letting me know that we lost some and that we should continue on slowly so you could catch up. We eventually pulled over and waited for ~10 mins, and I turned around and went all the way back to the last place we saw you and didn't see anyone, so I set a landspeed record or two heading back to meet up with the others. Lesson learned; if I'm leading ever again and lose people*, I'll pull over immediately and not just slow down and wait to see if they catch up.

*Unless it's out in the twisties and it's just assumed that we'll all meet up at the next stop sign or something...obviously.

The divide started with the state trooper and the traffic light at Apple Valley. Not pulled over or any tickets, but made me miss the light. The back half waited up. On the other side of Newark we caught 79 north and Brian lead us through the twisties.

Will have to head that way again soon. Great roads. We only found one small spot with gravel. No grit in any of the curves for us.

That's good, I'm glad that's all that happened and that you guys still had fun :) I saw the cop as soon as we crested the hill, but the way he was standing made it look like he had just pulled someone over and was doing paperwork on the top of his car like you sometimes see them do. It wasn't until we passed him that I realized he had a laser out, but we weren't going too terribly fast anyway. The fact that he wasn't scrambling to get in his car when we passed told me that he wasn't going to come after us, so I thought nothing of it.

damn damn damn... I really wished I had shown up earlier.. I was unfortunately waiting for my unreliable friend.... and missed you guys by a few minutes. Arrived at the pony around 2:20-2:30ish...

but myself and about 7 others headed out by sunbury and found a few good twisties so it wasnt a failure.

Hope to roll w/ some OR guys next time though.

I know your intro post said you're from OSU; if you're near the campus area and wanna ride over with me and Bkizz you can stop by my place around 12:30-12:45, I'm one street east of lane and high. Otherwise we'll keep an eye out for ya at Iron Pony, I'm sure your bike will be really easy to pick out of a crowd :D

Yea sorry I didn't get your post until now. We left for Pony at noon, and sorry I had to bale some shit came up, but I look forward to riding with you all in the future!
