Ha I wouldn't say stern, but I'd hate to see a rider I'm with go down without protection since I've seen more than my fair share of crash pics without gear and it's not pretty. Not to mention the down time from the injury will annoy you. In the end if someone skimps on gear it's not my problem but I try and point people in the right direction, whether they listen is up to them. Chris is still a cool guy in my book.

kawaninja09 · May 12th, 2013, 08:44 AM

Just thought I bring this thread back up to see what riders were still up for this and to see if there are any more riders that would like to join. The ride is less then a month away.

nautica · May 12th, 2013, 08:59 AM

What are the details for this ride and how many people will actually show?

kawaninja09 · May 12th, 2013, 09:36 AM

theres a map that i routed out on this thread but i wasnt gonna count the ppl till it got closer bc some that said they would might not wanna or somethen just brought the thread up to get a good count of who wanted to go.

nautica · May 12th, 2013, 10:39 AM

What route is it? /we can try and organize something but there aren't many active people posting in here so I'm not sure how big it'll be, although I'm not a fan of big group rides.

Ev3rL0nG · May 12th, 2013, 10:43 AM

Could you post the official plans? There is a lot of back and forth in this thread.

Maybe edit Post #1 with critical details...

kawaninja09 · May 12th, 2013, 11:32 AM

it wouldnt let me edit the 1st post so ill have to do it on this post.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RIDE!!!!

The ride is on June the 8th which is a Saturday. 10 or 11ish depending on the distance some riders may have to ride to get here.
dont know the amount of riders yet, but no matter the size of the group if you wanna ride we will go 2 riders or 100.

This is the route in mind

http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13683831447468

IF you would like to ride just leave ur name and # so we will have it for the ride to be able to contact other riders in case of someone getting lost or somethen else.

Ev3rL0nG · May 12th, 2013, 01:28 PM

I'll see if I can get off work, but I can probably do this! I have family in Columbus so I would probably come the Friday before and do a visit with them then meet up with you guys.

Also the link to the route is not working for me on google maps.

71S to Columbus will be torture though

NDspd · May 12th, 2013, 02:13 PM

I won't be able to make that ride, but I will be back in Ohio for the summer!!

choneofakind · May 12th, 2013, 02:41 PM

That's going to be one long-ass day for me; 8+ hours. Better be lots of breaks and gas stops, that's all I'm saying.

I'm in still. Brett has my number, I'm not going to post that on a forum

nautica · May 12th, 2013, 04:23 PM

For us NE guys that's easily an 8-10 hour day, and I refuse to do 71 down or up, it's a tremendously boring 2 1/2 hour ride and taking back roads to columbus takes about 4 hours as well. I just did a route to columbus last weekend and by the end of the day I was exhausted because there's nothing really that great between here and there. I love long rides as much as the next guy but if it's boring then you get bored and tired quick.

Maybe try for something on the OH/PA border roads since that's a middle ground for us? Then maybe csmith could make it up too.

LOL. Not middle ground for this guy!

nautica · May 12th, 2013, 05:38 PM

^ Forgot about you Dayton/SW guys. Not entirely sure then.

Ev3rL0nG · May 12th, 2013, 05:59 PM

If the three (maybe more?) of us NE guys rode down together it might be a little less awful. I think Chris is in Hudson now? And I'm in stow, so no reason not to I suppose. I'm down for anything.

choneofakind · May 12th, 2013, 06:10 PM

Yep, I'm back in Hudson. Bike will get started soon, then I have to do a valve job and replace some bearings. After that, I'll be riding for the season.

My father and I are kinda busy searching for a car for me.

True but if you think about it, it took my around 4 hours to get down to Columbus, the route will be 4-5 hours, then another 4 hours to ride back. Honestly it'd be easier to make it a two day event so us NE guys get a break but can also enjoy other roads down there.

kawaninja09 · May 13th, 2013, 05:12 AM

Well I would be glad to help out in any way to make this a better ride for all, i got about room for a few guys if they need a place to stay so they can come a day earlier if that makes it easier, might be a good idea to set up another ride for later in the summer that is up north since yall would know the way around.

Just let me know

nautica · May 13th, 2013, 01:10 PM

Honestly, there's nothing worth riding up here for, that's why us northern guys ride south ha.

choneofakind · May 13th, 2013, 02:08 PM

^^ werd. There's a few short nice roads, but the scenery gets old after a while. No nice stretches of road like down south.

nautica · May 14th, 2013, 01:14 PM

@choneofakind are you going to go to Nelsons the first week of June?

choneofakind · May 14th, 2013, 01:24 PM

I won't be riding there. I might have an Indian's game that I have to work the concession stand, not sure exactly. If not, I'll be there to hang out at least.

I just got my bearings all installed and my bike up and running. I'm pretty much out and riding for the season, but I'm super rusty. I need to do a valve job sometime soon as well...

nautica · May 14th, 2013, 01:48 PM

Ah alright. Well hit me up if you wanna do a local cruise through the valley and meadows sometime, then after the track day I'll probably be ready to do the southern rides.

choneofakind · May 14th, 2013, 06:14 PM

Hmmm, you free tomorrow for a valley cruise so I can clear some spiderwebs?

nautica · May 15th, 2013, 02:49 AM

Not till after 4:30 but saturday is looking nice if you can do a weekend day, if not just shoot me a text when you want to ride on a weekday and I'll see what I can do.

choneofakind · May 15th, 2013, 05:37 AM

Saturday morning might be a good time. Your phone number still the same? I'll text you like Friday about it.

tdog7812 · May 15th, 2013, 10:27 AM

damn! I just realized I have to go to a wedding this day

nautica · May 15th, 2013, 01:01 PM

My number may have changed and I forgot but I just texted you asking if you want to go through meadows. And Saturday at 10:30-11 sound good? Just a little valley run and such.

choneofakind · May 15th, 2013, 02:03 PM

I texted you back. Valley run sounds good to me. You can decide where we're going. I'm just gonna cruise, like always.

No crashing allowed!

nautica · May 15th, 2013, 03:25 PM

A run to and from meadows is about the only thing worthwhile unless you have more roads that I'm not thinking of. Too bad that lake we rode around isn't closer, that stretch of road was nice being 55 and freshly paved. But I don't really want to ride an hour just to get to that lake unless I'm super bored ha. What's your schedule Saturday?

choneofakind · May 15th, 2013, 05:24 PM

I think I'm free all saturday morning/afternoon. I'd be game for a ride to that lake and back if that's what you want. Maybe not the whole way south of Canton, but the lake sounds good.

Or we could head up the emerald necklace to the lake. That's a nice scenic cruise and is connected to meadows. Up to you.

We need to watch the weather though.

nautica · May 15th, 2013, 06:00 PM

I took the necklace almost all the way to the lake and found it to be pretty straight and highly populated but maybe. I don't know a short route to that lake either but it is past Canton, Atwater lake I believe. Weather is saying only 20% rain as of now, too.

choneofakind · May 15th, 2013, 06:02 PM

It gets a little curvy for the last section starting in Rocky River. if you can figure out a 2.5-3 hour route for Atwater Lake, I'm in. I don't want to be out all day, but I want to go for a pretty good ride.

nautica · May 16th, 2013, 02:43 AM

Let me see what I can put together that looks good. Unfortunately to get there within an hour requires taking 77s down but getting back we can go NE towards Ravenna/Youngstown and head west when we go far enough north. Or we can do emerald necklace and find a place to grab a bite on the lake if anything is up that way.

kawaninja09 · May 20th, 2013, 06:24 AM

Just wanted to jump this thread to the top of the board so that others can see it and ppl that may have forgot about it.

Ride ON JUNE 8th

nautica · May 22nd, 2013, 03:07 AM

Still on the fence about riding down to Columbus. Andthis past weekend while changing the coolant the battery suddenly died, so thanks for the bad luck @choneofakind! A quick charge brought it back so we'll see if it holds.

choneofakind · May 22nd, 2013, 02:35 PM

I think it must be contagious. I think it's not my battery though. I've been attacking things with a multimeter, but I haven't ridden since sunday evening, so no real progress on that for me

nautica · May 22nd, 2013, 05:18 PM

I haven't either so no idea if it's still charged.

I figured columbus would be a good place to meet bc its central ohio and that would be in the middle for everybody. Please just reply with ideas and important stuff everyone should know

I'D BE DOWN IM FROM PICKERINGTON.

hocking hills would be fun. anywhere southeast in ohio too.

lilmitchy777 · May 22nd, 2013, 05:47 PM

if someone could give me a pm with details of times and such i'd appreciate it btw.
