Bad324 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'd highly suggest keeping same meeting spot and route otherwise it's gonna make it about 1000x more difficult than it needs to be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Derek, Nice ride today. Thank for letting me tag along. The Pace and Roadcraft were all in order. I would be happy to help you with anything down here at the Logan rally point. I can also lead a group of 5 at todays pace. I know many of the connecting roads down here in case of route saturation. come down and ride anytime. Thanks again, Brian Edited April 13, 2014 by B-Mac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFlash Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Just a little feedback from a PM between me and another rider from last year.Perhaps a few adjustments should be considered. Me: How did you feel about the organization of the ride, wheneverything was getting started? Any suggestions orchanges you would make?How did things go at the fuel stop? Was it a ball ofconfusion or a mass of congestion? Give me somefeedback, if you don't mind. Not Me: There are a few things that were confusing. Maybe next time some signage at the meet point to get everyone grouped when they roll in. Fast, Med. etc. Our leader was great but almost got us going thewrong way. So maybe a map for each leader/sweep. We stopped right away after we started the ride for gas which didn't make sense as everyone was alreadyfilled up from the meet point. Then we rode the rest of the ride without a stop...youcould tell the riders were getting fatigued. Doing a lot of stretching etc. So maybe adding an extra stopin there. There's time to review the after-ride comments from previous events inorder to fine tune future events. It's seems a few things should be considerednot just from this one person's viewpoint but from others that were posted aswell, from last year and before. .

It's seems a few things should be considerednot just from this one person's viewpoint but from others that were posted aswell, from last year and before. . Agreed about the fuel stop spot was way to early, but it did have some advantages... It gave the leader and group a safe spot to assess the ability of each rider and allow them to switch to be a better fit. Also could allow a person riding outside of their level a quick place to switch groups... I do agree that maybe a stop about 75% of the way would be beneficial as well... Already had plans of outlining the shopping mall to have the groups already laid out so when you arrive you can park your bike in the designated group for easier organization. As far as maps and stuff, well, I could do that, wouldn't be difficult, but even with a map in front of them, still won't assure you won't go the right way hah... I rode this exact route last weekend and even with communication telling me to turn, I still missed it, hah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Agree with both!We should stop at the original stop to asses riders and allow those that want to stay back with slower group can. If you need gas have at it. We could also stop in mcconnelsville for gas and rest.The key to this is leaving sufficient room between groups so there is little to know overlap. Leaders will need to keep the stop time on schedule and get out before the next group arrives. Derek we can discuss timing and a plan then post for approval.

Helmutt Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 It would be nice if each group could wait on the following group in case faster riders wish to move up. If no group actually sees another except at the beginning, it seems some may choose to ride faster than they should since it would be their only chance to decide Not sure this would be a better course of action, but just sayin' it sounds good in theory so feel free to pick away at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekClouser Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Just don't take the fun out of it or make it more confusing. Clearly, the objective is to have fun. More confusing? If you can't figure out a sign in a parking lot and following a decent guideline of how long your gas stops should be, maybe elementary school is more of a fit for those riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
