Unk Greg Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Modest pace. Assortment of bikes. Cruisers, scooters, touring bikes even Harleys.Meeting points. I' ll look thru posts here as I haven' t heard from Cleveland folks. If no northern Yankees are coming I can skip 9AM meet at Speedway gas station. Loudonville folks will just show ip at dealership as will the few I have talked with from Newark. Mansfield people will leave from McD's at Sr13 and Hanley Rd.@ 9:30AM. Trail boss there is Keith. He figures half hour to get to dealership in Mt. Vernon. Some folks are joining up at Danville' s gas stop. No word from Toledo folks. Fall Tour is on...especially hearing 70's and sunny. Yeah, that'll work for me. I did the complete loop with one tankful. Folks coming in...Danville is 20 miles from our start point. At Rodeos Village stop....gas station nearby, by Bob Evans. Then there is Wally World just back up SR36. We'll pass it on our way to Roscoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unk Greg Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 175 miles as mentioned above and ran it at a purposed sloooooow 45mph. So gas stop, stopping to eat and stopping for ice cream ... it took 5 and a half hours. Actually 5 hrs and 10 minutes. At Roscoe Village the group would be 36 to 38 miles from Mt. Vernon.

Unk Greg Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Short recap of riders. Father-son, father-daughter, spouses...newbs. So mixed experience and varying machines. Still no clue on actual numbers. Call offs....3 outa 4 of antique bikes out. Beemer folks...uhmmm, hard to say one guy emailed regrets racing instead. BUT thenthen we couldmight end up withand more Yuppies than a Starbucks in Seattle! Racers here in town are out...apparently racing this weekend. Jeez. Speaking of racers...JRMMIII....I talked with the beer girl at the stadium, she says... Her boy running a pro-mod bike. Says he took the whole shooting match at Norwalk. Weekend or two ago? Last weekend (?) set fastest qualifying right off the trailer Friday in Maryland. Her pink ZXR most likely not with us on leaf tour.....sort of sneered at my relaxed pace comment. Restaurant wanted #'s. I'll do a head count at dealership Sunday morning and call ahead. Logging out for now. ~Big Smiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikexup Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Looking forward to the ride. That's cool that it was on the radio station, was it 93.7? Never thought about putting a ride on the radio but it makes sense, the more the merrier. So how many deer did you see on your way home the other night, I was sitting on the bench in Danville when you were on your way into work, tried to flag you down but you were a man with a purpose. Ha Think I'll take the TMax, a little more airflow than the other and more fun in the twisties. Jane's flying to Mass. today for the week so I'm definitely up for breakfast if you and Sue are doing that in Mt.V before the ride. Give me a call if you ride today after 3pm.

Unk Greg Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Will do. Messing with bikes now. No idea on how the radio got it. Thought they were joking. Second guy came over from other building and said he heard one of the guys talking about it at church?! The member said he heard it on the radio. ?!!??!! But loving it.Two deer and a racoon that morning. Got a squirrel the other afternoon coming in. Thought he scrambled away, but back wheel got him. Didn' t add it too the BBQ liist though.We bunch up for protectio on ride in the AM. Usually too foggy to see much in morning. I think I see Kevin each morning riding in on his way to open up....he has the big scooter right?Meeting you at Danville. A few others to be there....Keith from 206 and Loudonville to be at Danville.

Unk Greg Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Keith from SR206, not to be confused with lil' Keith from Mansfield bringing folks in from there.No Cleveland folks confirming so saves me a stop. Done here. Everyone enjoy the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Nothing set 100% in stone, but I'm still planning on meeting up with Keith and the rest of the Mansfield group at McD's off Hanley Rd (SR-13/I-71) at 9:30AM.Should be me, the girl, and my folks... but we may break off early depending on how my folks feel.

Unk Greg Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Just in from today's out and about...squared off rear tire from following scooters. jrmmiii and others re: short routes. It is not a problem...route is set up and meanders along, but never really far from a state route back to civilization. Well maybe not so well in Baltic area. One guy called and saw route...said he knew a girl in Bakersville...figuring that'll be where he'll drop off. Southern boys (Nerk..otherwise known as Newark) leaving at Coshocton...ride is flexible. Run what ya can. Over and out...roger willco yadda yadda....printing out route instructions for folks...banjo playing in the hills makes some nervous...so they can tuck written route away when they get separated from group.
