Well Denny/drc32-0 is a local that has helped me as always to try and put together some good roads for all who come ride this thing called "The Ramble." I was shown a few roads by others, but Denny has been the primary recommender of roads in this area...so thank him for all the good roads you guys will ride in May...buy him a beer or sumpin, you cheapskates!
The finalized routes are booked and I have gpx files to send out to those that want them. I have some jpeg files from MS S&T of the routes...they are included below.
As a recap, remember that we are doing two days of Ramble this year. Saturday will be east of the Interstate, and Sunday will be west of the Interstate over to the Hocking Hills area.
Saturday - East Route, 300 miles (plus/minus)
East route - beginning and end of route
East Route - middle portion of route
Sunday - West Route to Hocking Hills, 360 miles (plus/minus)
West route - beginning and end of route
West Route - Hocking Hills area
West Route - Athens/555 portion
Sooooooo....as you can see, there's enough riding to keep everybody happy for a little while. All I ask for the small bit of work to organize this is :
- Everybody ride in such a way to keep the rubber side down
- Be respectful of the riders around you and give them plenty of space
- Be respectful of the people in the area that we come in contact with, whether at the motel or while passing during the ride
- Have fun during the ride and after the ride in the parking lot swapping stories of the awesome curves
- Buy me a good beer.
I will hopefully be able to make up some turn by turn directions by May...I won't be making maps...but will highlight your map if you bring it to me the night before the ride.
I will have a rider's meeting the night before the ride to go over the the route, and talk about stops along the route, and firm up the rider groups.
Really looking forward to this ride...updating the first post.
