Re: goba route

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 last year as "hilly" that they will go flat.

The far Northeast can be pretty flat too, but I don't ever expect GOBA
to make it there, since they haven't in the first 17 (?) years.

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 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...

"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 ...

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! ...

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...
