Gixxus Christ! Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Looking to get a group together to ride the canton/massillon area. No route as yet but I have an idea where we will be going. I know some decent roads out here and there is a ton of farm land with very few stop signs or cops. ride will be in the afternoon, probably start around 2pm. shitty weather will of course be a deal breaker. We can meet at my place or a gas station near by, doesn't matter. It probably won't be an epic all day thing, just a few hours but should be fun and a chance to meet some people.

Gixxus Christ! Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Sweet I will try to work up a route map during the week but I don't really know the backroads out here, I just sort of take random turns and get myself as lost as possible, try to find my way home and eventually consult the GPS on my phone. This works great for just me but Idk about a group of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kagebob Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Wow, that's a hall from Warren. Hope to see ya.If it's a nice day and he's on a bike, the distance is a plus. I'd come down if I didn't have to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 That should have been spelled ”haul” stupid auto correct. Idk about some people but three hours is about all my back and neck can take hunched over a sport bike. We will be taking stretch and smoke/drink breaks regularly.

baptizo Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 The extended forecast has it mild, partly cloudy, and around 60'ish next Sunday so here's hoping nothing pops up to cancel the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm having trouble making a route map, does anyone know of an Android app that I can use to draw a route over a map? Also I'm having trouble deciding on the route, there aren't a ton of twisty roads out there, just lots of hilly and gently winding or straight ones. I don't want people to get bored with just going mostly straight...been looking at area maps for more challenging terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Don't think I have ever ridden in that area always nice to ride a new area and put more names with a face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Good point, this is mostly an opportunity for me to actually meet some of you bastards. Was thinking maybe planning a backroads route from down here to the valley and back, maybe with a stop at the lizard for a pop or perhaps ONE light beer...suggestions are always welcome, this is your ride too.

speedytriple Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Lol I am only familiar with the roads south east of the 77/70 area I know the roads down there pretty well but west of there I only know 93 down to zanesville with 555 to 78.

Gixxus Christ! Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 OK, thinking of hitting a few twisties down by me, then some farm land around north Lawrence, then a slab up 21 into Montrose, then sand run down into the valley, Akron-peninsula rd to 303 then riverview back, Merriman to memorial pkway/ tallmadge ave and end at the A&W root beer stand. That should take us a few hours, I know some good places to stop along the way to stretch, smoke, piss etc. thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I will keep an eye on the thread. I kinda have plans to go shooting that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that event I can meet you down near Sand Run and lead around the Valley and show you guys some stuff. Though I might suggest starting an hour or 2 earlier.

I can't start any earlier, Sunday we go out to breakfast, grocery shop and do stuff around the house, plus we pretty much always hit the bars Saturday night so I probably won't crawl out of bed till noon anyway.

Bad324 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 relay should be here by then, I'm just hoping the issue isn't deeper than that. Later in the day works fine for me for a ride like this, especially since my gf goes back home mid afternoon Sundays. I just suggested earlier in case anyone wanted a longer tour of the Valley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
