I second Coop’s comments. It was great to be out in the forest yesterday amidst the turning fall colors and the leaves floating down in the cool breeze. Thanks, Pat, for putting this together. You DO know the roads!

And thanks, Coop, for the video – great to see again some of the places we rode.

Forgot the date!

The ride is this Saturday, September 19, 2020.

Update to Mohican State Forest ride on Sept 5, 2020.

I’ve made a few modifications to the route for Saturday to avoid closed or gravel roads, and to add two new stops. I’ve added a rest stop at the dramatic Gorge Overlook of the Clear Fork River canyon in Mohican State Forest – this is rugged country, folks! Second, we will end our ride with…[Read more]

Larry, we should arrive at the Black Fork Bistro (153 Main St., Loudenville) around 1 PM. Would be nice to have you join us!

If anyone would like to meet us at the rest stop (Hayesville Marathon, U.S. 30 and Rte 60) we should get there around 11:15.

I’ll post the GPS route tomorrow evening.

My mistake, guys. It’s the Black Fork Bistro. A new restaurant in the old Hanover House location. Good food and plenty of social distancing.

Looks great, Coop! Sorry I won’t be here this Saturday to tag along. Thanks to you and Rich for creating the route and leading the ride.

That Relive video is TOTALLY COOL!

John, the GPS files are only for the folks wearing Fancy Pants. Most people don’t bother with them, so you’ll have plenty of company.

RIDE REPORT

What a day it was yesterday – mid 70’s, sunny skies, and s slight breeze – and what a marvelous ride we had. Thirty-five riders on 30 bikes participated in what turned out to be a 3.5 hour ride to the New Sandusky Fish Co where we dined on fresh-caught perch and walleye in a gazebo overlooking the bay. A special thanks to Kurt and…[Read more]

Here is the GPS route for our ride tomorrow, June 6, 2020. I’ve made a few changes from last year to avoid road construction and closures. This year we’ll ride one-lane Dean Road as it crosses the Vermillion river just north of I-80. This is perhaps the most charming little stretch of road in Ohio.

This will be a leisurely 3-hour ride with two…[Read more]

2nd Online User Group Meeting — May 9, 10:00 AM to noon

Our first online GPS/BaseCamp User Group meeting was a success! I think it’s fair to say we all learned a lot, with everyone contributing their questions, answers, tips and tricks. Mark showed us his Basecamp screen online and we helped him figure out how to transfer active tracks from his…[Read more]

Online User Group Meeting — April 18, 10:00 AM to noon

Thanks to the Corona Virus pandemic our face-to-face user group meetings had to be cancelled, but all is not lost. Let’s try doing an online version using Zoom. We tried it at one of our Wednesday morning Zoom meetings (that we have in lieu of Wednesday breakfasts) and it seemed to work just…[Read more]

<div>Larry, you’re right about the road hazards you mention, but what makes me most squeamish is those “guard rails” made of two cables and metal stakes with the stakes protruding above the upper cable. They would surely rip one’s guts out if you had the misfortune of running into one.</div>
