  1. I would like to get out tomorrow, but I'm on call, so my ride could be interrupted at any time. I'll also need to stop every so often to see if I'm being paged. Will probably still make a run down to Dresden via, the 520/60 route from up here in Olmsted. Will check back tomorrow to see if any one would like to join me.
  2. Pushed the button at 9:30 am.... alone, ran into construction on 252 by Medina High School, adjusted return trip. Was a good ride, several corners on 313 had gravel causing a freak out on my part. Still not over the gravel washout on a corner down by Marietta three weeks ago, still trying to get my speed mojo back. Ended up coming back via the metro park to avoid construction and the heat of the slab. In the garage a bit after 3:30, about 285 miles, a bit short by my standards, but good enough.
  3. Looks pretty slim. I'll check again in the morning, but I won't be waiting long at the gas station if I don't get any takers.
  4. Not enough rides this summer and too many crashes. I'm planning on leaving from the gas station at 252/303 at 9:30 AM. Hope to be home before 4PM, with a few short stops. The pace, for some sport bikes might be considered lethargic, for cruisers way too fast, and for folks just getting used to two lane twisty roads, challenging. My hope is to keep what I consider a spirited pace. Pretty certain of most of this route other than the 658-541 section. Suggestions are welcome. http://goo.gl/maps/8xKQ0
  5. yup, he was leading, until we split at 83/16. I continued on and the rest of the group circled back home via Wooster. 149 and 331 were both good, although it seems they have been chipped, which tends to unnerve me. It had been a long time since I rode on 556, had forgotten how challenging that can be. Just when I think I have my rhythm, I got a weird corner or one of those slabs of tar that slip like greased S**t.
  6. was a very eventful ride..... lost two, one went to get a trunk to pick up the pieces. As far as I know the riders were basically ok. Although I didn't see the first one, too many crashes this year. I was too far down in the twisty stuff to stop, I ended up doing this. Just got back about a half hour ago. Stopped for some Subway on the way in. ;-) http://goo.gl/maps/2BSI5
  7. I was pm'd about a ride leaving at 9 from 82/83, that's the one I'll be going on. Should be a nice day.
  8. I could start that late, was thinking more around 9. I would probably go further than atwood. Could ride that far with you then I would probably keep going.
  9. Got a text to go sailing, so I won't be blasting off real early. Still will be getting out, will check back later tonight.
  10. Wanted to join the ride today, but was unable, needed to return some parts. I will be going out tomorrow, 7/29, looking for anyone that would like to ride. Don't have a route preference at this point, will be looking to follow at first and make sure I'm up to the pace. Haven't had a problems keeping up in the past, but never rode with any of the folks on this forum. Give a shout if you are interested.

    7-28-12 Ride

    Hoping maybe some of you will decide to ride Sunday. I got the wrong plastic piece to cover the gas tank and will have to return it to the dealer tomorrow. I'll check back tomorrow evening see if anyone is up for Sunday.

    7-28-12 Ride

    I was planning on doing this ride, but I got the parts needed to fix up the tiger from a crash a couple weeks ago. The only way I could do the Saturday ride is if it got pushed back. I am up for a Sunday though if that happens. I'll check back.

    Weather willing, I'm up for this ride.
  14. Heading out today in about an hour, would like to Sunday also. I should have tried to set this up sooner.
