Uncle Punk Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) I am planning to make a 350 mile ride to the river on scooters June 5th an if anyone wants to join in you are more than welcome. I have never tried to do this and don't know how it will turn out but that might be half the fun. I plan to leave the starting point at 9:00AM and be back by 7:00PM. I have gas stops mapped out with the longest distance between them at 65 miles so the smaller capacity scooters should be able to make it to all the stops. Right now there are six scooters with no one from this site, the scooters are from 150cc to 500cc so speeds will vary, I will be on a 250 and swapping rides will probably be taking place. I have made the route very simple so that if anyone wants to bail on the way down all they have to do is turn around on 83 to head home. I expect that if Columbus people want to join in they could meet us at the gas stop in New Concord. The following Sunday will be the rainout make-up ride. Changes to the plans might be made if I don’t know what I’m getting into like we might have to start earlier and get home later. If anyone has any suggestions or knowledge about doing something like this chime in.Link for those that can't read the maphttp://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=41.314789,+-82.022204&daddr=40.533955,-81.917488+to:39.993446,-81.741554+to:39.56724,-81.65456+to:39.277229,-81.688221+to:39.53801,-81.95231+to:39.943708,-82.000808+to:40.0395527,-81.9780974+to:40.33205,-82.00952+to:40.57132,-82.01741+to:40.554394,-81.929128+to:41.314788,-82.022192&hl=en&geocode=FeVpdgIdxHAc-w%3BFcN_agId0Ake-w%3BFWZAYgIdDrkg-w%3BFYi_WwId4Awi-yn5jGKMGy9IiDFLbq8Mjl-xjA%3BFa1SVwIdY4kh-w%3BFVpNWwIdyoEd-ymh0H8IVRdIiDEygCIgRg11hw%3BFRx-YQIdWMQc-w%3BFYD0YgIdDx0d-ylhIqS4N5M3iDEQO_txo294iw%3BFRJrZwIdUKIc-ymNuJwBEZ03iDG-KCBOkAiFsg%3BFbgRawIdfoMc-yn1_l9pDW83iDEqrCRaXK-aJA%3BFZrPagIdWNwd-w%3BFeRpdgId0HAc-w&mra=ls&via=3,5,7,8,9&sll=40.225024,-81.688843&sspn=1.958561,4.916382&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=7Added 06-04-11I anticipate being in Millersburg at 10:30 and in New Concord at noon. These are estimates based on adding time to my known sport bike times so they may not be accurate. I know all of the gas stops and roads we will be on with the exception of 339. I have never been on that road so I may miss the turnoff. I do not have my GPS mounted yet so I will be doing this all on memory but other than the 339 turnoff I know and have been on the other roads many times. We may take the time to get a frostie in Zanesville but no other planned eating stops are planned.I have the gas stops planned out to stations I know and that have enough pumps to handle several people. The distances between the stops are 59 miles, 48 miles, 61 miles, 66 miles, 63 miles and 58 miles. If anyone is riding something that won’t make these distances please let me know so that we can adjust the gas stops.

Uncle Punk Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 crap, i think that a nelson or beaver weekend. if it is, i won't be able to make it.Depending on how this works out it may be attempted again this summer. I want to try it close to as much daylight as possible in case it is a total failure. If I do it much later in the month the rain date puts it into the July 4th week and too many other plans to work around. You can trailer out and park at my shop, it's only 5 miles away from the start point. That is if you aren't racing or participating in some nonsense like that.

Disclaimer Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 What's Jinx quote out a Tmax for a day? At the UP discount rate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Nevermind on that PA-50. lol that'll never keep up.I was just messing with MT about that. 50cc scooters won't go much over 40MPH but if someone would start in New Concord I don't see that as much of a proplem on 555. There is a guy riding this on an old Yamaha 175 enduro.What's Jinx quote out a Tmax for a day? At the UP discount rate... They didn't put a T-Max on the rental contracts so I will have to check if they could do that. I might have my brothers 150 available but there are three people ahead of you for that one but I'm sure two of them don’t really want to and are just thinking it's a good idea until it actually happens.

We could add a zombie hunt along the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
