JJ

Idea for Saturday

George has suggested an idea for Saturday's ride. The idea is that we get together at Joe's and draw names out of a hat and organize into teams of 3-4 riders, depending on who wants to be involved and how many riders show up. Then we do our race beginning on Old Columbus Road as planned. The first team to have 3 riders make it to breakfast wins. This will encourage some very high speed pace lines and teamwork. What do all of you think ?

Saturday morning on Columbus Ave!

Oh man, the crowd will be lined up on Columbus Ave Saturday morning just to see us go by! If i wasn't riding, i'd love to go watch! hahaha!!

Lots of info!

Lots to read here, i know,but what im saying is you can mix your own stuff alot cheeper than you can buy it, and make it alot stronger for less $ to boot!

OH Yea Baby!!! Full Gas!!!!

Once we come off pumphouse rd,and turn left onto Columbus ave, it's kick the tires and lite the fires full gas to Catawba!! Just remember to leave a light on for me and order me a cup of coffee,ok? jj

Brian, if you can't make it, we'll understand! hahahahaha!!

Saturday morning ride

When we hit old columbus Saturday morning, is it full go to Catawba?

CJ in the AM

The moon moving on west, the sun rising in the east,the Mink playing in the rock's,Life is good!

Tuesday evening ride

Mike, Julie and I (and maybe my dad as well) will be riding the Ohio To Erie Trail tomorrow evening and we'd like some more company! Julie and I will be starting in London between 5:30-5:45. Mike will be leaving S. Charleston (by the caboose) about 30 minutes earlier to head our way, then we will all ride to Cedarville and back. From London to S. Charleston is 10 miles and from S. Charleston to Cedarville (route 72) is 11 miles. If this interests you, meet Mike between 4:45-5:00 in S. Charleston, or Julie and I at the time stated above, or meet the three of us in S. Charleston between 6:10-6:25. Happy riding!
