SE Ohio ride August 4th

[El Toro Joe]

:clapping: Come ride the SE Ohio Ramble route with Mark (wheatonFJR) & me, on Wednesday August 4th.

Mark & I will be heading down on Tuesday the 3rd and camping at Wolf Run State Park (5 miles north of Caldwell)...

:yahoo: So, come on down and lets do this thing. :yahoo:

 

[wheatonFJR]

...yeah, take a "sick day" if you have to...to run the Ramble route midweek.

I'm on my way down south to scout out future FJR Camping locations...and it would be nice to ride the Ramble route with you Ohio guys midweek when the traffic should be light. B)

 

[pmspaul]

Damn. A week too early for me. Have fun!

 

[wheatonFJR]

bump....are you available Bockelrider, et al?

 

[Bryguy]

I'm probably in. If you're looking for route ideas- 513, 260, and 376 have new pavement on them.

 

[wheatonFJR]

I guess I aleady have a route in mind...

The route will be 330 miles, start and finish at the Best Western in Caldwell

 

[El Toro Joe]

Yea, that works for me :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Great!!

Do you need a gpx or S&T 2010 file of the proposed route? I will have one to share if you wish. I will be using a turnsheet as I don't use a gps.

I really need a road trip bad & I'm actually sneaking off for long weekend of Appalachian twisties tomorrow morning. :yahoo: Hopefully the weather cooperates.

 

[wheatonFJR]

Have a great trip Tom...we'll catch you try to catch you another time.

 

[Bryguy]

Looks like a great route. What time do you want to meet/start?

At this point it's still looking like a no show for me.

Hey Mark...did you pencil in 260n/537e off of 26?It's a 14 mile loop that starts and ends on 26,it's a good one.I imagine Bryguy's been over there checking it out,maybe he can give you the lowdown on it.

Have fun guys.

We'll probably eat breakfast at 8am at the mom and pop restaurant next to the motel in Caldwell, and go kickstands up at 9:15am after that.

I still have to look at the route and revise it Denny...I also need to rethink gas stops as David has a 4.8gal tank @40mpg or less.

I will post up something firm after this weekends ride.

Hey Denny,

so what yer sayin is to keep going east on 26 until I get to 260n, head left/north until I get to 537e take a right/east on that until I get to 26...head west on 26 until I get to 260s...head left/south on that to continue the route I have already?

Also, your comments from last fall on the west end of the route was to take 329 south out of Trimble instead of 13...and take 329 south that all the way to 144. I'll modify the route to include that.

Is 555 just south of 78 is still pretty graveled up like the last two years???

We'll get this route whupped into shape yet.

 

[Bryguy]

Yeah, 555 is still rough between Chesterhill and 78.
