Columbus rides

[Vic]

Well, I survived my first group ride and more importantly, everyone else survived having a green newbie along!

Thanks for a great ride, the route was beautiful, the road was awesome with plenty of fun curves-just enough to be a bit challenging but not too much.

Of course, now I gotta get my scooter in for her first oil change. I am going to take my helmet back to Iron Pony and see if they will take care of me-I am disappointed with my Bell, they sure ain't what they used to be!

Anyway, see ya all later!

Cheers,
V

You did great! V those were some really good hills and curves! I am just checking in to see Garys pictures, come on Oldhighway 7 lets see some of your great shots I know you got today, that route was so cool.

Looking forward to our next adventure.

Hey did anyone see the weather after we got back? Coshocton had thunderstorms with hail! When I got home they had gotten rain all day too. We must have gotten some good juju magic from ya'll getting your rainsuits on!

I am waiting to see the pics too!

Cheers,
V

We got very lucky with the weather, one of the best days we've had in a long time.

SirAnna, (Marc) picked an exceptional piece of road to Roscoe Village. I think this was the longest day trip the Posse has taken thus far. I'm guessing it was pretty close to 150 miles round trip.

Vic was our newbie but she handled the roads like a pro. Lot's of twisty turny, at speed and she held her line. I think her more than average bicycle experience probably helped her out some. Good job, Vic!



Mike and Kathy decide to hit the Drive-Thru.



Do you know anyone who lives on this street?







Deeper into the backroads, away from the tall buildings and noise of the city.

This is how Vic rolls; Bell helmet, armoured jacket, and Tinkerbell socks!

Hey...Scouser and I didn't put any raincoats on, we raced the storm!

That was a great ride. Route 541 was a blast. I look forward to more. I took a few pics myself.

Nice pictures! The last one rocks, I don't know how you do it, but it looks great.

[ScooterCam]

Man, it sticks that I had to miss the ride. Actually, I'm still breaking in my scoot anyway. Can't wait to come out and ride (and shoot) with you guys. Any body up for an urban style shoot with their scoot in Downtown Columbus?? Let me know.

[Vic]

Sorry, I can't make it this weekend, kids are home and I am still riding on my permit, so no passengers. Catch up with ya'll next weekend!

Cheers,
V

Anyone going to Comfest? I am thinking about going tomorrow night maybe after bike night, then riding down again on Sunday if the weather permits.

[Gary]

Caitlin and I rocked the fest tonight. Good times. We are hitting it again tomorrow afternoon. Tom and Kathy were out busting it out, saw Bird, too.

I was checking Modern Vespa to see if a ride was posted and didn't see any for this Sunday...I see a few people may go to Comfest this weekend, I might shoot down Sunday afternoon. I ride a grey Kymco with checkerboard stickers...wear a lot of pink-pink and white helmet and mesh jacket and gloves...if you see me, say hi:) Sally--I hope to start getting out more, we have been busy remodeling and not riding

[Gary]

There is so much going on this weekend, I think we opted out for the ride. Hope to see you Sally, I know who you are.

[sallyb]

Well,that could be nice or creepy:)lol...(I know who you are, sounds like a line from a horror movie trailer... lol...;) I am not afraid, I lived in the 'hood...
I am really jealous I saw some scoots with the Easy Peasy sticker on them, how can I get one?(I have the patch, now I have to sew it on my jacket... Sally

[sallyb]

Pix are wonderful, I lived in that area(in Warsaw a few miles away, did my shopping in beautiful downtown Warsaw:)...brings back memories of those curving roads...area has more deer per square mile than anywhere, esp. during some times of the year, be very careful. We used to see deer daily. I wish I could have gone on that ride, but we were tearing out our bathroom floor...still not done, but I have to get out anyway:) hope to see you guys soon(Gary I was just kidding:) Sally

[Gary]

There is a sticky on how to get the goods, stickers, magnets, etc.

I think the last time we rode together was Buckeye Lake?

Time to get the Posse on a run!
