saralynn518 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Because I am a boring nerd, I have been dying to go to Clear Creek Nature Preserve in Sugar Grove to go take some photographs and hopefully find some interesting wildlife. Tomorrow is supposed to be really nice out. I am not planning on taking on some sort of crazy twisty excursion. I am just looking for a nice ride and then spend some nice time checking out the park. Depending on time, I might take a little ride down in Hocking since it's close by. Lunch/dinner in Logan maybe. Depends if I'm alone, I may just pack lunch.I know I probably won't get any response, but I thought I would throw it out there to anyone who might like to come along. I live near Groveport and hope to take off around 11am. If anybody is interested, we can set up a meeting time and place.http://www.metroparks.net/ParksClearCreek.aspxSince Old Man's Cave isn't too far away, I'd like to head there too.

saralynn518 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I guess the ride is off until I get my bike sorted out. Blake worked on it the other day, but I just took it out (besides around the block) and it's not riding properly.FML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat0403 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 my parents live right around that area, i suggest going to Millstone BBQ right off of 33 at the first Logan exit. I was just out that way yesterday, not a lot of gravel on the roads as a whole but be careful of blind corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike884 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Pretty through there, but Clearcreek Road was torn to shreds... monster potholes and all... sometimes the entire road was one big hole, it got a little squirrly on the Strom.

Would have to ask Blake, but I think that's the road we took when him, Ken, and I went on a Hocking ride a while back. It was a MESS! The gravel was the size of small boulders.

It was pretty narrow and had a lot of shade though. Made it difficult to see some of the potholes. I felt like I was doing the hokey pokey with my legs to show Ken the upcoming potholes lol.

Randers Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Let me know when your bike is up and ready. I dont mind cruising around that area. I am up in Lancaster and really not that far away.....have gone fishing down in clearcreek a few times and really enjoyed that. I like riding down in the hocking area, nice hills and beautiful sceneries (sp) anywhere in that area. I have some friends who have a cabin/house up in the area with some pretty cool features.Easy to get lost in the hills, but thanks to GPS we can always find our way home.Anyways...keep in touch once your up and running. While am not a fast bike, it is my ride and gets be easily where ever I want to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike884 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 yep... thats the road.. i went right after it rained, so it was muddy, and if you hit a hole, big splash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightRider Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Last year i was riding on clearcreek road and really could have used a bike like buildit's. Felt like i should have had knobbies. Next day i noticed my fork seal leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike884 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 yeah the road is fine for some fishing in your 4x4.... but its a little rough for a car, and for a sport bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also ordering carb repair kits. I've never done carbs before, but I heard it's a pain. Petcock should be simple enough. Hopefully within 2 wks given shipping and everything.I have a '72 CB350...I'm not a fast ride and I like to enjoy myself putzing around and enjoying the scenery.Now I know of at least 2 people to come!

As long as you can see the road great in order to spot the holes before you are up on them and there's no real traffic. Luckily the road isn't TOO too long.

buildit Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Remind me not to offer to show any of you some of my favorite roads, because if Clear Creek is "that bad" you'd probably wanna shoot me for leading you into the areas I enjoy.

mike884 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 well maybe it wasn't that bad..... but you certainly had to take it a little easier, plowing into a water filled monster pothole at like 45 slows that down real quick! i'm one of those shiney vstromers who every once and a while thinks it a full out dirtbike lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
