imprez55 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I might be up for the 17th. What is the proposed route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax33 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Sunday for sure. I'm working Sat. but I'll be off at 3:30, so I may decide to make a run then as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent2406 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I was hoping someone else would come up with the route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 If the forecast holds out I'd probably be down for Sunday.How long a ride are you looking to do? I've got a pretty good ~300 mile route down to the river and back that I've been wanting to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent2406 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 That sounds good! Can you post it or give the route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) That sounds good! Can you post it or give the route?Here's the basic route, beginning in Millersburg (Speedway) and ending in Bolivar (DQ):Google Maps LinkNothing super technical, but some really good twisties, and I know the roads pretty well. ~250 miles for just this route. Tack on whatever mileage needed to get to the start/home from the finish.Edit: For some reason the Google Maps embedded object isn't cooperating on showing the full route back to Bolivar, but you get the idea.

wacky_woodchuck Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I am getting out this weekend. Sunday would be best for me, I think. If I ride on Saturday, it'll be later in the day.If I can get the larger tank on the sumo, I'll end up taking that. But that'll be 100 miles and stop for some gas. If I don't have the big tank, it's 60 miles and I'm looking.Either way, I'll keep an eye on the thread. For the route, I don't mind making one up and leading, if need be.

LINK Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hailwood,Your bike selection is way to similar, almost scary...800 is being paved (much needed) South of Antioch to Fly, and 255 has a detour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 You can still ride through 255. The road is closed only for like 50 feet. We did it this past sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent2406 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 That route sounds good. What time you want to meet in Millersburg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, I'll try to come up with a slight revision to avoid OH-800 where they are paving.That route sounds good. What time you want to meet in Millersburg?I'd want to start as early as feasible. My preference would be to roll out of Millersburg no later than 10:00 AM. 9:00 would be even better, but we can see who's planning on coming and from where.

conn-e-rot Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm out just checked and it's 2 hrs 40 minutes to Millersburg for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINK Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 My guess is the paving will be finished, just unmarked, soft berm, and some rough entries and exits on bridges by Sunday for 800, certainly doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 78 was boring in more than a few stretches. Any NEO'ers doing this may want to take note of the end of the route and factor that in for your round trip time. If I didn't just do these roads I might jump in...although I wouldn't mind riding 800 all the way up/down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thanks for the input Inya and LINK.I'll keep thinking about the route and might make some revisions. As long as the forecast still looks good for Sunday, I'll probably post up a separate thread for this ride, either tonight or tomorrow.

North of these roads on 260 is really nothing missed in my opinion...A bit longer mileage wise but better riding than that stretch of 78...564 is not great, nor to challenging, but I hear you can really haul ass and make some time on that road, little traffic, and I have never seen a LEO on that road, as compared to 78 which both scenario's does exist quite often.P.S. Sorry I didn't chime in, because you did ask, about 564 on your last ride and/or route... I don't like to intervene on other peoples routes they choose, unless there is a hazard, detour, or danger I know about in their chosen path.

We actually skipped 564 and 145 and took 78 the whole way. Man...was that painfully boring. I'm not sure if I'll be able to ride this weekend yet. I'll keep an eye on the new posts just in case.
