KhaoticRebel Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hey all! As the Varsity Softball Coach at Watkins Memorial High School, I wanted to give you all the early invite/heads up to our run. (Fine details here and there are still being worked out, so a thing or two might change, but I will update as the event draws near.) Fundraising is a pain to get the proper approval and what not from the higher ups, so we are trying to crank this out before the weather turns. Anyway, it's going to be like a poker run in nature, but with a softball twist. We are a pay-to-participate program, so we would very much love to see everyone show up and give their support. Our field needs some work (new brick dust, clay for pitching mound, a working sound system, chalk, etc) and without a big turnout at this event, much of it probably won't be accomplished this season. We don't even have a permanent fence!! (We recently upgraded from the orange construction fence to a decent temporary fence.) It will be a $20/bike buy-in and winner takes 1/3 of the pot. There will be a 2 hour softball clinic for girls 8-13, so round up daughters, nieces, neighbors or anyone else that falls in that range. The clinic costs $15 (pre-registration, $25 walk-up) and the player will also receive an event t-shirt. We are placing business card-sized ads on the back of the shirt for $20 as well (I can come up with a deal for ohioriders on the $ amount if there's a lot of interest from the business end.) It'd be really awesome to see ohioriders.net, streamlinecycles, etc on the back of a softball shirt, as not many high school softball teams (I assume) are supported by a group of bikers. If you can't make it, that's cool, set up a donation jug at your office/work to call for that spare change! (Like I said, we really need money.) It should be a fun day, a sweet ride, and if you're lucky, you'll take home some cash. If we get a good turn out this year, we hope to make this an annual thing. Help us out and spread the word to all those bikers you know! I'll post the flyer once it's ready I hope to see you all out at Watkins HS/MS in Pataskala on October 6th! GO WARRIORS!!!~Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhaoticRebel Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Yes, my nemesis (Ninja) it's a bit of a jaunt for you Daytonites. I guess you'll be one of those setting up a jug then at your work for spare change then, right? Oh and damnit if I can't beat that stupid score of yours!!! One day though I shall reign supreme again!

xxxl Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Just down the road from the AMA museum.Visit the museum, do the poker run, eat at Clark's in Jacksontown.http://www.clarksdiningroom.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaoticRebel Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I've never eaten at Clark's, but perhaps I can work it into the route. The run was to head out that direction anyway. I'll look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxl Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Clark's is a genuine road house, the kind Alton Brown would stop at on 'Feasting on Asphalt'.Biker bar right across the street too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaoticRebel Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I can't do a bar, because it's a school event. I can do a restaurant though. I'll look into this place, hopefully this weekend. Thanks for info on this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxl Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Not interested in the bar myself. Just have to get back to Clark's sometime. Always a brace of Harley's sitting across the street at the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaLord 9 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Wish I could make it, but I've got a meeting & by the time I'm out I'll have missed my window to join. If you kids get up to anything after I'd be up for joining ya though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrcirk Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I didnt know about it untill yesterday. I actually cant make it because my 8 yr old is doing the softball clinic. I may ride over to the school, a buddy of mine on a red buell is going on the ride so I may meet up after the clinic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaoticRebel Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 What, that's no excuse! You can drop her off a bit early, leave, and be back in time as the clinic is ending. It's a gorgeous ride and totally worth it! It's 100 miles and takes about 2.5 hours if you breeze through each of the stop points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrish Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Are you going to tell us where we end up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaoticRebel Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Don't kill me for this, but we end at a Harley dealership because they hooked us up with 2 $50 gift cards. It's a loop though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
