... an intermediate to beginner pace ride for this weekend 10/8 or 10/9

[MIKE53ALI]

how many takers would there be? and for what day?

this route would probably include oh-9 and oh-164 and stay north of i-70, unless a good number wants to go further south.

[Griff]

i might be up for a ride...gotta get them in while we still can

[conn-e-rot]

possibility

[NinjaDoc]

hate you all

have fun guys .... ride safe

[conn-e-rot]

Do you know where we're going this time?

[NinjaDoc]

get al z heimer on this, he knows all the routes that way and is a smoooooth lead rider

I can put a route together for you Mike, if your interested?

To early to tell if I have to work on Saturday, if I do not, I can just show it to you and your group.

If Saturday is the ride, and the weather is still decent, the same goes for Sunday too.

Some fun routes, not to technical, but not to far from the Akron area either.

[CleaveTheGreat]

If you come further south I might meet you guys somewhere in Canton/Bolivar and then break off near 70 to come back to Cbus.

curious as to what you've got, especially if you're familiar with the road conditions.

getting lost is half the fun

[undr_psi]

I could be interested in this..if south of 70

[Josh1234]

I'm in, although Saturday I likely have to be back in cleveland, cleaned & showered by 6 pm for Yom Kippur dinner.

Had Columbus on my work schedule for Sunday night, but it seems to have vanished

[Bad324]

hmmm maybe if I don't hit the other ride I'll do this one. Will have to see what I feel like doing as far as pace goes towards the end of the week

[NinjaDoc]

always wanted to do this short route may be you guys can do it, 3 hours of ride

.... lookin' at that route and depending on the temp... and whats goin in.... MAYBE I'll dip south of I-70. I do wanna push my pace a lil bit but I dunno.... a few of you guys have ridden with me so you may know my pace by now.... I hate feelin' like I'm slowin people down.....

[MIKE53ALI]

Get that out of your head. It will only bring two things. Too much personal pressure to "keep up"' date=' which will result in a smashed Aprilia.. at best. Or, it will keep you from coming out and riding with folks that you could benefit from riding with. Don't become your own worst enemy. Motorcycling is a mental game. It has enough distractions without you bringing more to the table. Your pace is fine. There was no trophy at the end of any street ride I've ever been on.[/quote']

thanx pappy

[NinjaDoc]

if others are doing coshoton .dont u wanna try that... i know i want to..never been thru those roads

[AC2B]

I had planned on doing a solo ride north of the Coshocton area this Saturday, but if others want to check out those roads I'd be into meeting up before taking the loop I've got planned.

In the interest of full disclosure:

- I have never been to this area and will probably get lost

- I will be riding conservatively (see above)

- I expect I will be grinning like an idiot the entire time

[216cityboy]

waiting to see where these rides are headed. I'm game & free for a ride Saturday. I really liked Coshocton more than Hocking. Not really interested in riding all the way to Akron-ish for a ride.

[Hutch]

If you guys come down around coshocton I'd like to ride some

[gearman]

Holmes, Coshocton, Knox and Licking counties all have some decent roads and are fairly close for nor'easters, not to mention folks west and south of Columbus.

[Mykill]

I may be free Sunday for some Coshocton fun.

[Siacono]

Hmmmm, sounds interesting... I want to ride soooo bad...

[MIKE53ALI]

..... ok.... I'll start finalizing a route and date.....

That's good advice. I need to take it out and re-read it before every time I ride.

I to your wisdom.
