Pfloydgad Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) What the Hell, might as well get this out there before the snow starts flying.Jan. 1st, 2012, yes a New Years Day RideBasic criteria:Ice and Snow free roads, minimal to no salt or sand also. Safety FirstTemps are subject to discussion near the ride time.This an open ride, start times and meeting location TBD.In the past, early afternoon (Noon to 1pm) has always been a good start time. Ride time and distances are not long, as little as 75 miles to as much as 200, remember, it gets darker and colder as the day gets older.I have done 10 polar rides in my yrs. of riding, great fun, memories, and stories for the spring and summer camp fires and meet-ups. So mark your calender, if you have a 2012 yet, and lets get this thing going. Ride safe all, and ATGATT please.Greg I'm going to the Gator Bowl, so If I ride, it will be in Florida, sorry.

buildit Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I thought the polar ride was in Columbus? Three years I wanted to go, three years I woke up around noon realizing I wasn't gonna make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfloydgad Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 It is New Years Day, so New Years Eve needs to considered if your getting on the bike the first day of the year. RSA, and ATGATT please.Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSA, and ATGATT please.GregNo doubt. Of course that's one of the few times a year I actually enjoy drinking. Oh well, I've done several neanderthaw rides and those tend to be a lot colder and snowier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfloydgad Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm just sayin, it is just around the corner. I will do some details when we get within 2 weeks to "R" day. And of course, we will be looking at the weather report. So get your warm weather gear out of mothballs, and get those new farckles on the bike. nd if you do get out, ride safe all, and please, ATGATT.Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfloydgad Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 WELL,I got a call from my Dad, he is a Special Assistant Coach @ Ohio State. And he needs me to help him drive down to Jacksonville for the Gator Bowl, so I will be front and center at the Gator Bowl this yr. I won't be ridin on the first day of the year here in Ohio. Maybe I can rent a bike down in Florida and ride, which could work out considering the game is the 2nd. We will see. Sorry for this info, I was really looking forward to riding if the weather was good enough, but somehow, I might still be rolling. If you ride, be safe out there. And Happy New Year.Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollnhot Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Florida sound like a good idea this time of year Greg. Now does anyone still want to do this ride. I down as long as weather is good i.e. snow of course, sand & grit or crazy cold. Or could meet up with Polar Bear Ride in Columbus. Got two weeks, lets hear it.

rollnhot Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 How about local Dayton area riders meet up somewhere and ride to Grove City and meet with Polar Bear Riders. Or something else? Let me know what you think.:hoho: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJWalter Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Post up the details when they are finalized. Im in Columbus & ready to roll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollnhot Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 What say we meet in Waynesville at McDonalds, sorry its the only place open. Between 8:30 & 9:00 A.M. then slab it on 71 to Grove City. Maybe hook up for a ride in Columbus area. We can back road it on the way home 40 to 42 is a nice ride. Looks like mid 40s for temps.

Kickstands up @ 11 AM.Here's the poop: http://www.localriders.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
