90 Mile Jaunt

ImEazy · 07-01-2007, 09:01 PM

It was a beautiful day here today. After dropping my kids off at my folks
house. They're going on a three day get away. Which means I had time to
myself. Well I just happened to check my cell phone to see that blimpman
had called and left a message asking to go riding. Well I couldn't argue
with that. Say goodbye to the kids and back to the house to grab the bike.
A little bit after noon I was at blimpman's house and we saddled up and with
me in tow we were off. He lead the way through what we call the valley. It's
a lot of scenic roads that twist and turn, up and downhill the whole way.
Here's a couple of pics from our first stop. Luckily he brought his camera as
I completely forgot mine.

We then rode north a bit and took a trip through some of the Cleveland
Metropolitan Parks. There was a lot of people out enjoying the day.

A couple of pics at the second stop.

Another one of my ugly mug

We headed to that gravel pit again. Didn't stay too long as I was actually
getting tired. Those ammo cans I put on the back were causing the bike
to act squirrely in the gravel and sand. blimpman rode up a pretty good
size hill and we decided to hit it. On the way home we had a good size
deer cross the road in front of us. I've always heard the stories, but never
saw one this close while riding. We then made a short trip through the
trails right down the road from my house. Then called it a day at that point.
All in all a very nice and enjoyable ride. Thanks again blimpman!

Fun day for sure. There are a few places to ride off-road in NE Ohio but not very many... Good thing there are a lot of Metroparks and twisty roads in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. My arse thanked me to get off the bike after 90 miles...

Nice ride report, Makes me wish I had a ride partner...How did the new seat feel after a few miles?..Was it at least more comfy?

The seat did real well. After about fifty miles or so it was my a$$ that was
giving out.

I really like the fabric over the vinyl. It does breath better.
