idgeRide
SATURDAY OCTOBER 18, KSU at 10:00 am sharp!!!!

STARTING POINT

Hardee's
65 S Chestnut St
Jefferson, OH 44047
41.73700
-80.76940

This ride has a possibility visiting 18 Covered Bridges in NE Ohio. Some of these bridges are on gravel roads. The route changes every year based on the number of bikes and the conditions of the roads. OF COURSE because it is in October it is VERY weather dependent. Keep an eye on this post for any changes, temperature is not an issue but, rain kind of ruins this ride just ask Philjet and Amy.

I have provided a link to a page listing the bridges and location, plus a map at the bottom of the page. This is NOT a map of the route we will be taking, it is just to give you a idea of where you will be. I will run the route the day before and make the final route then.

Anyone interested this year if so throw out some dates.

I need to come visit my brother in LODI. I have to work around the Fl and Al games in Knoxville.
Would like to come meet some of you guys if the date works.

Amy and I were wondering if this was going to happen this year. Unfortunately, I'm gone the next two weekends and have a wedding on the 4th, then a ride planned on the 11th. The Sundays of the 5th and 12th are possibilities, but definitely don't base this ride on my 'druthers.

Hope you had a great hike out west, we followed the spot for a day, then couldn't see it.

 

[Mr. Efficiency]

Anyone interested, this year's ride is Saturday Oct 18th.
Will meet at Hardees in Jefferson,Oh. 9am

i would like to participate, but may alter my participation so Madeline can come with in the Ural. If we can travel some secondary roads on the ride, Thats how I would like to approach things.

 

[Skrapiron]

I'm in. I'll see what the Grouch wants to do.

 

[imagineer]

I'd like to do a ride like that as well. Sundays are usually better than Saturdays for me & Mrs. Imagineer. Any idea on a route?

The route is based on the road conditions. I check the road conditions the week before and then pick best route

I will make sure the route is all secondary so your daughter can come.

Any chance of a Friday night wine tour?

 

[PhilJet]

Hey, that's a good idea!

Are you re-visiting the EVIL ankle crunching bridge we went through in 2006?

Dave

 

[Skrapiron]

Dave! You know we will! It is tradition!!! And we all take turns fracturing our ankles in your honour!

 

[steveg]

Mike,

What is a good hotel location for a Friday evening wine tour?

Oh - so sorry I won't be able to attend this festive and traditional gathering. I already have other plans for that day. Be sure it's the right ankle so you can still run through the gears. (Rear brakes are optional anyway.)
