I had a preview of Walt's ice cream creations last night...yummy!  The one he
called "special recipe" was over the top.  We really need some strong
challengers.  Let's get creative. No way should Walt win this contest.

Ah, now I understand why there are five different flavors of ice cream sitting
in the freezer freshly made today!  And why the cupboards have been gone through
and are now void of the goodies they use to hold!  Beware!  Have to go . . .
hear Walt opening that freezer door AGAIN!  Someone should ask him if he's
riding enough miles for the ice cream he's eating!

I will be leaving Columbus, actually Westerville, 6:00-6:30 Saturday morning for
New Castle and have room for up to two additional riders including bikes and
bags.  Just let me know if anyone needs a ride.

I see on the website schedule that the bus leaves New Castle at 11:00.  That
seems a little late to me and I thought I read somewhere about an earlier
departure time.  Can someone tell me for sure what it is?  Thanks.

Will there be shower facilities at the end of the ride?  It's always nice to
grab a quick shower before the drive home.

Rumor has it that Walt is issuing a challenge to see if there are any riders who
can make a better flavored ice cream than he can.  The little bird that told me

Thanks,

Club ride - 61.5 miles from Oberlin to Vermilion to Milan and back. We saw
plenty of last year's arrows and lots of other bikes out.  What a perfect day
for riding!

Last night, I spotted what appeared to be freshly painted XOBA markers
going up Theiss Road in the Cuyahoga Valley! I then continued to see a
few along Northampton Road... My home territory! Cool! And Theiss is a
fun climb! Not too hard (compared to worse hills in the valley).

Now I'm getting really excited!

Always,

I saw some heading west out of Mount Sterling on SR 56. They were white, which I
believe is the optional 100-mile route. A couple miles out of town they turned
north on Anderson-Antioch, then west on Kiousville-Palestine Rd. I turned off,
but they probably hook back up with the regular route through Lilly Chapel.
Except for that short section of 56, that's a nice scenic area to ride in.

I moved to the Akron/Canton area a couple of years ago from Newark and townships are a big thing here. I think there are more townships than towns :o)

We saw more markers on Friday on the Kokosing Trail. That got us checking on the map and wondered where Copley was. We could not find a town called Copley on the Ohio map. We did a search and found it is actually a township, and a suburb of Akron. We are getting hyped up for the ride, since we missed GOBA this year.

Hi Everyone,

I need to apologize for any of the e-mail from Grouple that says "Darlene wants to add you as a friend". I was declining a invitation and not really paying attention. I checked the wrong box or whatever and "Grouply' went to my Yahoo Groups.

Once again, I do apologize.
