Sorry the smart groups message board is caput but maybe it will be
better to have just one.
I am hoping for Southeast Ohio and hoping that we start or at least
overnight in Marietta. That town has always shown a great deal of
hospitality. In 2001 when we were there, the mayor bought me a cold one
(gator aide, yeah right) and told me about the "Soon to be Famous"
Balogne sandwiches in a little cafe across the pedestrian bridge. What
a great time we had.
By the way, lest anyone forget, that was the year of the number 1 hit,
Onyaleft Don't Mean a Thang If You Talking To A Train!
I feel that in the last few years, our energy level on GOBA has dropped
a notch or two. I propose that we kick it up a little bit in 2007 and
make it a fun GOBA. GO Bucks!

Sorry to disappoint those of you wishing for southeastern Ohio, but this year was supposed to be a hilly year. Yeah, I know, it didn't seem that way to me,...
My vote is for a DRY Goba!! I sure had enough heat and rain last year! I hope we will have SOME hills, last year the only challenging, pretty routes were...
Hi Amanda! I am betting on Northwest - way up in the Indiana/Michigan border area since they haven't been up there in a while. I think that since they billed...
Well--Looks like we will have to wait another year for the hills! The route sounds good, though. I do like the Troy Community park. That is a good place for...
The route looks good to me...brings back memories of my first GOBA in 1998 when we started in Celina and spent a night in Versailles. I loved that town. The...
Isn't Versailles where they had just put down fresh tar at the school and it was in the 90s and bikes got covered with tar? I guess that was the "adventure"...
I don't remember tar but the FFA tractors sound familiar. And yes I think it was very hot. I also remember the Mexican place an inch from camp in Troy and that...
I was hoping for hills too, but I live in Piqua and work in Troy. This one will very possibly go right past my house, since I am only a mile from Johnston Farm...
Maureen, Sorry I didn't reply to you sooner, I'm not on here much, since I joined team COBC I'm on that group more. Anyway, looks like you were right with a...
Well, I was looking forward to something closer to home. This is the 3rd year on the west end of the state. I wanted to see something in NE Ohio, but was let...
"Ride Me to the Moon" makes perfect sense for a theme since the route goes through Wapakoneta, the birthplace of Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon. ... NE ...
Hey Dave, the place with the tar peeling was at the middle school in Eaton. I remember it like yesterday....wet slimy tar and then sand over top to "fix" the...
I was thinking the gooey driveway was in Versailles too, but it was a long time ago. As beastly hot as it was that week, they could have both been that way! ...
Well now I just feel stupid... I didn't make the connection and I even read the route description that mentioned the museum! Duh. :-) ... route goes through...
That makes sense. But it didnt say how we were gonna MAKE it to the moon haha ... route ... man on ... the ... in ... due ... to ... the ... ride ... There!...
I only knew that fact because my big brother was really into the Apollo stuff. He went to Wapakoneta for Neil Armstrong's homecoming parade and bought me a...
I, for one, am happy with the route. Troy is one of my favorite Ohio towns and is a good spot for a layover. I might budget for a biplane ride this time...
