Tpoppa Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) This is a make up of a 9/11 CORE ride that was called due to crappy weather. I thought I would post here also. So far there are 3 or 4 attending.For a south route 83>78>377>550>Marrietta.North Marietta>26>260>7>800>78>556>145>800.This is a fun twisty route, and the roads are all in pretty good shape. For the Cleveland area people, this is 450ish miles. Less if you're further south. Meeting spot:Millersburg Speedway on 83 @ 9, wheels rolling by 9:15. The first gas stop will be in McConnelsville 10:30-10:45ish if you want to meet further south. Disclaimer: Wear gear, ride within your limits, no one left behind, be on time, etc, etc. No planned meals = snacks at gas stops.***Edit: more disclaimers Passing each other: Only to adjust the riding order and not in corners.Passing cars: If the rider in front of you makes a pass, that doesn't mean that you need to stay right behind him. Pass when YOU have an opening. General dumbfuckery: keep it to a minimum. Edited September 13, 2011 by Tpoppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 man.... tried mappin' this out.... this one is a haul..... we'll see whats up....I did this route solo a few weeks ago and was home by 4. On solo rides I tend to only stop when the fuel light comes on, and then just long enough to fuel up. With a group we should be back to NEO 5:30ish.71 and sunny start cancelingIMO, that's just about perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINK Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Who will be riding in the "public roadway safety awareness group", maybe I can tag along with them on this ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedTriple44444 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I might try and make this one. Sounds like a lot of good riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Awesome route. Hopefully I can make this one. I can even ride sweep, since I'll most likely be on the FZ1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiomike Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Seriously thought about it, but I would have to leave here at 6:30 am to get to Millersburg by 9 So scratch that......be safe everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to carry a nice sporting pace through the corners, but rarely get above 75-80 on the straights. So, if the group gets spread out it's pretty easy to catch up on the straights. Also, we'll stop at intersections to count bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 awesome mararthon route, can i join around lodi? about what time will you pass through there? i never been on a ride this long, but feel like doing one, since at the end of most small 3 hour ride, it feels like wanting more.

Tpoppa Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hey Tony.. I was just through 550 (north of Athens) and it's under construction for a repave...Ahhh...I don't think that's the section we'll be riding. We'll be on 550 from 377 to Marietta.

Anything north of M'burg is mostly a straight boring parade ride anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been eyeing it for awhile now, and having one ride circles around me would probably push me over the edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailwood Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Is that why you're making room in the garage?That's the plan, especially if the rumors of the green color coming next year are true.

InyaAzz Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 If I could be back at home by 4pm, I'd do this. Maybe I can break off and head north at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
