Basic detail:
SEPTEMBER 27 2014
Rain Date: Sunday - September 28, 2014
*
*
All details are subject to change - so please follow up to this thread before the event to verify all details are the same!
*
Meet Place: Hocking Mall Shopping Center ---Hocking Mall St, Logan, OH 43138
*
Logan shopping mall lot on 664latitude. 39.54528°, longitude. -82.43083°

*
Time: Meet by 10:30 Start organizing group by 11:00 and kick stand to ride by 11:30

Everyone is responsible for themselves, so ride within your limits. Crashing is not something we want to have happen. We had several incidents last year, some because of bike maintenance and I believe some because they were outside their comfort zone in terms of speed.
*
Ride within your limits and stay safe. Our goal is to have a fun safe day of riding with a bunch who share the same passion. Crashing only ruins that fun, not only for you, but for others as well.Grab a bite if you want before ride as there wont be lunch stops.
*
Ideal maximum group size is ten riders with a lead rider and a tail (sweep) riderThese two riders should be interchangeable in skill level so that the sweep rider can evaluate and help the riders in front of them:These two riders need to know the count of how many riders are in their group.
*
The lead rider needs to wait at all stops for the sweep rider to give him a thumb up.At each stop the leader or sweep rider can switch or at their discretion ask and allow a new formation of the line.Do not allow passing other riders in same group once the ride has started except at starts.
*
Passing slow moving vehicles might be needed for the faster group, when doing this each rider makes times and judges it for them self. Dont wait for the group to pass as a whole. At times might have to cross double yellow to pass.
*
Group leaders and sweeps should know the route well and if possible have ridden it prior to event.
*
Do not allow changes of groups at stops (Unless both ride leaders of both groups are aware of the change and it does not raise the group count to over ten riders.If a rider has to leave a group early make sure they tell someone in the group. Do not pass except at stops. If you picked the wrong spot in line of your group ask to change positions at stops or if a rider signals you to pass.
*
Start the ride with a full tank of gas.
*
Many folks are planning to grab a bite at the end of the ride, those with time should do it as it will be fun. The unfortunate long haulers will start back to get home before dark.
*
The Groups
*
Always start one group below what you feel you ride. Meaning if you think your fast, start with medium fast group and if you are comfortable move to the fast group during gas break after letting the lead and sweep know. Better to be safe than sorry. Remember we might be riding roads very new to you.
*
Fast:
Usually 70mph on the straight and 25-30 mph over the posted limit of curve.
*
The people who belong to the group know they belong to this group, they dont think they belong here.Dont jump in here unless you been riding with such fellows for some time. eg: UP, Midgettodd, Hutch, Core rides
*
Medium-Fast:
65-70mph on the straight and 20-25 over the posted limit of curve.
*
This is the usual fast rides some group rides do, still rather fast• Jump in here if you been riding for a while and is comfortable at these paces on most roads
*
Medium:
65 mph on the straight and 15-20 over the posted limit of curve.
*
This is the everyday regular group rides pace,Jump in here if you been riding for a while and is comfortable at these paces on most roads
*
Slow:
60 mph or around posted limit on the straight and up to 10 over the posted limit of curve.
*
This is the a very comfortable yet fun group ride.Jump in here if you like doing friendly fun rides and also new riders must join here.The last two rides most people rode this group showing zero ego issues and they had most fun.No ego in both years kept our rides with 0 casualties.

All are welcome!

Thank you.

snot · September 28th, 2014, 01:20 PM

It was um epic

.
This is our 4th. The first was a cancelled dream ride that 40ish of us showed up for in 2012. Then April of 2013 we had over 80 bikes, this spring 38 and fall 30. We are doing the ride again next year, dates will be voted on in late winter or early spring on Ohioriders.net.
It is a great time, last spring we did get a cabin. We trailered there and back so we could ride more while we were in the area. All are invited.
