Thanks for your reply. I called the GOBA hotline and they said that every evening at the campground/tent guest location(s) there is a designated area where...
I'm seriously considering pulling my Burley Nomad cargo trailer in GOBA this year. One reason is that my girlfriend is riding with me and it will help equalize...
The piles of lugguge on a GOBA make those of OKHT or TOSRV seem small. A combination of more people and each person with a much bigger bag or two bags. I've...
... Luggage trucks are half the fun of GOBA. Get done with your day, find your truck, take your bike and "mark" your campsite. Remember what part of the truck...
Here's a little trick if you decide to put your bags in the truck. Tie a bright colored piece of cloth or put a large piece of tape (fluorescent pink, orange...
I get really tickled at some of the folks that get so upset about the little things. Two years ago on GOBA, I met a guy who was really angry that GOBA had...
You shouldn't talk about yourself like that !!!!(:> I got in a 20 mile ride today, between showers, hope everyone is getting in some riding time during this...
While I will not be using it on GOBA, I recently purchased a trailer and am considering a ride from Xenia to Marietta utilyzing the cycling maps put out by...
I used a COP map a few years back on a ride. I think the map I had was Portsmouth to Toledo. I lived in Marysville at the time and picked the route up about...
Bill, where in Xenia are you? Please contact me direct. Thanks ... -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Nigel A. Gunn....
I hope everyone is getting some good riding in with these few nice days that we have had. I have about 200 miles so far on the nice days. Got cold a couple of...
For about 3 years, I have turned in a suggestion that we should stay at the start town for 2 nights. My reasoning is---I think that the town we start in gets a...
I think these are great ideas. Maybe they'll implement them next year. This will be my first GOBA and I'm looking forward to the ride. I've done XOBA the...
I've used liners and still gotten flats. I don't bother with them now, and usually don't have much trouble with flats. The tiny amount of weight they add...
I've never used tire liners..sounds like something else to bother with. I have enough of a hard time getting a new tire on my rims. I'd advise getting a...
I'll probably jinx myself with this post, but I switched to kevlar-belted tires in 2004 and haven't had a single flat in thousands of miles since. At first I...
The only hole in your logic is that lots of folks do arrive early and swarm all over the town. But I can't argue that two days wouldn't be better for the...
Another option would be to do a figure 8 so that you stop over in the starting town mid-week. Not only would the town benefit from the extra full day, but...
i agree that it would be nice to showcase the town where we start and finish. . . unfortunately, i am one of the many people who would simply not arrive until...
great idea I have felt the same thing, you get there and like that your gone and your host town is left holding the mess without a good financial return. So...
Mary Kay, Never used the towel service and I don't take a regular towel on GOBA. Towels just don't dry fast enough so you wind up with a wet stinky towel in...
YES! The towel service is a great idea. You don't have to deal with your own "damp" towel. You get a clean fresh towel every time. You just toss it and don't...
Hello 2009 Goba-nians I won’t be going on the 2009 edition of GOBA but since I live in Bowling Green (aka – Blowing Green), I would like to offer a few...
I'm going to second this - the towel service is great, and well worth the little money that it costs. One less thing to pack and no chance for your partially...
Joots I finally registered about three or four weeks ago and I got #1175 last week. And I would second the towel service. It's great to have a dry towel every...
The nice bike jerseys and such are great to wear, but are difficult to wash. My wife is complaining about not being able to use either hot water or bleach....
