Northeast group ride 7-31-10

[Uncle Punk]

We will be leaving at 8:00 AM from 82 & 83 on July 31st or August 1st if rain cancels out the first date.

Please be on time gassed up and ready to go at 8:00 AM. If you are late you can catch us cruising down 83 at about 70 MPH.

I have posted the route so if the pace I am riding at is too slow for you feel free to take the lead just make sure to wait for us at the stops. I will be going about 70 MPH between curves and passing slower moving vehicles on double yellows. If that doesn’t sound like something you are willing to do please find another group to ride with. You should be riding the curves at your own pace no matter what speed that is, we all want to keep riding all day and not helping pick bikes out of ditches. If you are touching the center line exiting corners you are going too fast and riding unsafe, if anyone see’s someone riding unsafe they should confront them or let someone know.

I will make a bike count when we start and at every stop, if you are going to leave early please let someone know ahead of time or at the next stop. Depending on the number of bikes showing up we may have a sweep rider doing the count.

Please make sure your bike is in good repair. If you break down we will make sure you are safe but will not be waiting for help to arrive.

Most people find their spot in the line naturally and if someone is on your tail let them by, we will be riding faster riders up front to slower riders in the back. Don’t follow the guy in front of you too closely; we are all going in the same circle so give everyone the same safety margin you would expect to get from someone whom you haven’t ridden with before.

There is no planned lunch stop so pick up whatever you need at gas stops.

I am posting planned gas stops so people can join in the ride but I will not wait at gas stops for people to show up. I will give my best case estimate on when we will be there but there are too many factors involved that can change our timing. I could plan times and wait but we wouldn’t be able to get these many miles in daylight.

I will post links that people can use to see any of the gas stops and the route map. (See the end of this post for links.) Some people seem to have issues with seeing them in this post so I hope this will fix that problem for them.

URL isnt working. But interested in a ride.

[jbot]

i should be in for this unless i skip out for a track day weekend at grattan or something or other.

heh heh

i'll post this up on CORE and here and there if you don't mind.

[jbot]

also, i'm not sure if 255 and 536 are still closed or not. really, 255 and 536 were both open when we rode through there on july 11th but the signs said they were supposed to be closed. i have no idea what's going on.

[4DAIVI PAI2K5]

work a double

[Uncle Punk]

I don't mind at all I like riding with the C.O.R.E guys. I do have a request for you though. In the thread that started this you mentioned something about trailering to Millersburg. This is a very long route and time could get tight for daylight so I would prefer to eliminate another meeting spot. Can you meet us at the starting point? You are more than welcome to meet us at the Marathon on 39 between 83 & 60 since I can make that the first gas stop but I don't want to post a time for us to be there or leave there.

[jbot]

the starting point is pretty far out west for me. i will take responsibility for myself if i get lost or get there too late (I don't mind riding alone). if you tell me about how long it normally takes for you guys to get to that marathon from the start, and give me a call when you guys do leave the start point (and if anything goes awry), i will just get there early and wait for you guys to pass by and join the rear. I'm debating the trailering part (i will be on the buell, and it has new tires, so i might rather just ride there to break in the tires before we get to the "good" roads) so i'll let you know what happens with that. i don't know where i could park the trailer and car anyway.

for reference, it will take me about 1.5 hours to get to wooster from mentor and just under 2 hours to get to millersburg from mentor. i believe it's 2hrs and 25min from mentor to eaton township to millersburg.

[Uncle Punk]

I have a safe spot you could park your car and trailer five miles from the original starting spot.

It should take about an hour and ten minutes to get to that gas station plus or minus depending on the number of bikes that show up.

[jbot]

well, maybe that's not a bad option either. i could get to the parking spot by 8:30, unload and suit up and be rolling out by 9 with you guys. it's that or just ride down to millersburg. i'll figure something out and tell you what's going on. i'm just 1 guy, so i won't waste any more valuable thread space with simpleton logistics.

[4DAIVI PAI2K5]

park it at my place.

[InyaAzz]

Fuck..this is on Saturday and not Sunday. I already agreed to work that day.

Let me see what I can do. I would love to rape the route like Tod rapes young white snatch.

[SAMBUSA]

Same day as the NW meat&greet

[Tpoppa]

Prolly. Not sure what I'll be riding, but prolly.

[Uncle Punk]

Are you referring to the M&G on the 24th?.................Not the same day.

[CleaveTheGreat]

Ugh this is the day I leave for Myrtle. Probably a good thing since the last time I rode with you whores I faceplanted on the pavement

[Uncle Punk]

You didn't faceplant because you were going too fast though it was the gravel that threw you down.

[CleaveTheGreat]

True. But I'll be gone anyway. Guess I'll have to catch you guys some time in August.

[MidgetTodd]

[InyaAzz]

If I can be back home and in the shower by 7:30 I'm in.

[RVTPilot]

Weekend with the kiddies for me. I'll have to sit this one out.

[twisted12]

Well I hate that I work Saturdays and since I just started it wouldn't be wise to take off soooo the only thing I can do is a rain dance and hope it is sunday

[Uncle Punk]

Just started? What are you talking about? I'm sorry to do this for a Saturday but it gives us Sunday to make it up if it rains.

Would leaving an hour earlier be something anyone is interested in to make it home earlier?

I checked the time it takes to do the routes and it looks like the big route won't leave us enough time to get the ride done in daylight so maybe that route should go.

I rode 260 this past weekend with the C.S.B.A. and it is a road we want to get to for this ride, it might be as good as 255 only longer.

Look you trouble maker, I don't want to see you, I.P. or SamBusa in my thread messing it all up, this isn't a Harley thread so be nice to me. If you guys get this moved to ranting & raving I will end up riding by myself because no one will be able to find it.
