rslocum Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Guys I'm still a go for this ride. If the weather is good up here i'll slab it but if not i'll hitch carrier my bike down to bolivar where the good weather is going to be. So I'm saying I'll be there at 9:30 or so.

Doomking Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 At the intersection of SR 212 and I-77 there is a Dairy Queen/gas station. We usually meet there.OK ...I'll be there around 9:30 am....I'll check this post tomorrow morning before I leave in case something change or someone wants to join in.

Tpoppa Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Good ride today. No cops, no drops. We hit some of SE OH favs, and kept up a pretty good pace all dayThe weather never really got nice, but wasn't bad either. Cloudy and cool, and we stayed dry. 4 people is a good group size for those roads. Much more and it's hard to stay together.I logged a bit over 425 miles for the day.

rslocum Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 +1 got home 10 minutes ago. Good ride guys. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomking Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Got home too little after Rob did....I fucking got lost after we split going 250W. There was a detour and ended up god who knows where. I was afraid to pull over and ask for direction...maybe some locals could mistaken me for a member of the "Taliban" with my accent, and they would have taken me in the back of their barn to play with me "deliverance" style.I finally found 250W again after riding for around 45min, and finally got my heading again.Tony, thanks for showing us around.....great ride, although we got to try that "536" ,I think it is, about couple of hundred times just to get little more comfortable with it....what a wicked road that one is!!! I am all froze solid and my ass and wrist are aching after 9 1/2 hr on the bike. But I am ready to do it again if the weather give us another chance...

Legs and torso are covered, but the hands will freeze like a popsicle.If I could have trailered the bike down and avoided the early morning slab fest down south, it would have been a go.Don't hate me because I'm tan.

Tpoppa Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Tony can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the route was 212 to 151south to 9south to 148West to 145South to 800south to 78East to 536South to 7South to 255North to 800North back to 78East to 7North to 556North to 145North to 148West then 800North into Uhrichsville where we had that last stop.That is pretty close, we didn't hit 145 on the ride down. That wound up being about a 280 mile loop (+ the rides there and home). There are a lot of good roads were could have added, but I didn't want to kill you guys .After Adam split off, 77 was backed up for a couple miles (just south of Canton). I don't have that kind of patience, so rslocum and I road the shoulder to avoid a huge delay, and then had to navigate through Canton via iPhone.

I would have waved for you guys to come with me but I wasn't exactly positive where I was going and I didn't wanna get us lost. I eventually made it home after riding through the ghetto of Canton.
