jporter12 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 throw on some cartoons they'll be fine ....... We'll do it another timeThat's a BAD thing around here! They are SOOO different when they watch too much TV! Maybe I'll make the meet and greet tomorrow, instead. Not as much of a fun ride, but still can get out that way. Maybe I could just go for a ride by myself this evening, or tomorrow to make up for it?I'll get out on a group ride sometime, eventually!!!

PhilS Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Well then. Turns out there was 5 of us all together.Phil, Jim, Todd, Ebon, and Doug.The ride from east Columbus to Newark/79 was a bit boring and straight. 79 North of Newark started showing some signs of fun. Then 586 to 541 was a blast as we started to open things up. Then 541 part one to 79 was good. 79 to 36 was great. 36 to 60 was ok. 60 back down from 36 to 541 was outstanding!! Then 541 into Coshocton was good but we had a law enforcement officer pull out ahead of us to, well, uh, keep things calm.We lunched in Coshocton at the highly acclaimed "Wendy's" then it started to rain. And it rained big. We rode 16 all the way back to 37/70 and home - in big rain. I was amazed at how heavy the leathers get after soaking up a few gallons of water!!!!!Avon Storm ST's - great dry - great wet (now I know).Also, returned home without a single bug on the bike!!!!

It would be a long way to go around to get to some decent roads to ride, with the exception of going south to Hocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The videos all turned out very shakey and buzzy due to the homemade mount. I will be buying a "sportbikecam" mount soon...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbikez Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 nothing feels better then riding in soaking wet boxer shorts. I took a 2 hour long hot bath when i got home. Riding in the rain sucks! .. we are probably heading down south .. hopefully 329 around 1pm again today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilS Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Its your story tell it how you want to I needed that! Thanks. Clearly, given enough space on the road and in the absence of on-coming traffic, you would run circles around me at any speed. Actually riding behind you allowed me to pick better lines and challenge myself to improve and trust on left hand turns. Great riding with you.Now, on to an August 8 ride. - See the new thread.
