I am looking for a head count to see how many people will be attending the spectator ride to MidOhio this Saturday.

I will then determine departure times and so on.

Would people also let me know where they will be coming from, so I can setup the meet times.

As an examply, I know Lizzi is from up north on I-75, but I do not know where Prostreet (Mike) would be coming from.

Thanks!

Webb - there are 2 or 3 threads going on that talk about this ride. You need to consolidate!

I am trying to get 1 thread where people will simply state that they are coming and where they are coming from, so that it will be easier to get the necessary information disseminated to the right people.

So far, Lizzi thought she might come.
Faye,
Nathan and Brea,
Mike (Prostreet),
Me

Anyone else?

Mike, how about you come to my house by 10am? I will PM you the address.

Then, you and I can ride out to meet up with Nathan and Brea on the way.

Of course, if the weather turns to crap, then we will not be riding to MidOhio. Stupid Tropical Storm in Florida!

As of 4:30 on Friday, the weather forecast for Sat looks ok.
So, we will be riding to MidOhio!

Remember, no rain!

I just watched the Channel 50 weather report and they are saying a slight chance of a stray shower late Sat night into Sunday.

So, so far, so good!
When I open the garage door tomorrow morning, if no rain, we ride!

See you at the BP then!
Mike, you are still with us?

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they dropped the hammer and beat the rain home :ridin:

Hammer was plenty dropped...but Mother Nature Kicked my ass....I got within a 1/2 hour from home....not fun...but safe and sound...not sure if Nathan made it and Webb should have been fine..I was the farthest I believe. :hi:

Well that's good. So how was the track day? What did you think of the facility?

You should have went Nelson...you could have squeezed in I believe...but it was awesome..fast track..and big....but fun was had by all with the exception of the last 40 minutes of the ride home. 10 hours in the saddle is a bit much in one day...I won't walk right for a few.

Yeah, like I said before, I knew there would be a spot if I didn't go and there wouldn't be one if I went - just my luck I suppose. Glad you had a good time and I do plan on getting back there in September if all goes well.

Not sleeping, but still trying to dry off my stuff!

Well, I got back home last night in the damm rain.

The last 20 miles were very wet, but the last 10 miles were pretty horrible.

There was water 3 inches deep on Telegraph and 16 mile rd, plus what the cars threw up. The toes of my boots were dragging in the water, it was so deep.

I lost traction twice and going around the corners was very unpleasant! I endup up going about 20mph for much of the last 10 miles.

I ended up getting onto the back roads, in case I fell, I did not want to get run over.

The water was shooting out as though from a firehose on the downspouts of my house. Just a lot of rain!

However, all in all, I made it home unscathed.

I took some pics, but I have not looked at them.
See, Nelson should have gone, just to use his nice camera!

I do not think "rained on" quite accurately discribes what happened.

Glad to hear you are safe and had a dry ride and fun too!
