I will be leaving GOBA Friday as soon as I can complete the route.Any idea how early the trucks arrive with the luggage and in what order they are unloaded?...
They leave at 9am every morning. As to when they get to the next town, It's usually early afternoon, and whoever is in camp helps unload. Yep it's hard work...
The trucks can take a direct route to the next overnight location, so they usually get there pretty quickly. Like Amanda said, the first riders in get to...
Tried emailing you directly...didn't hear back. I've rode the past 3 GOBAs and last years XOBA on a Sun Tad CX trike. I'll never ride a two-wheeler again!...
This will be my first GOBA and i'm not a seasoned bike tourist by any means. What sort of rain gear should i bring? is a poncho okay or are there any other...
... I'm not a big fan of riding a bike in the rain. However, since you can't predict the weather during GOBA, one must be ready for it. Here are some common...
Crast, I have found that the biggest problem with riding in the rain in the morning is staying warm. Wet and soggy are inevitable. I got caught out one year...
There are ponchos made for cycling as well as rain parkas. The better model parkas that have some breathabilty cost a pretty penny but ponchos can often be...
This is really good advice. I have to add that Goretex is the best as it will keep you dry in rain and also it's ok to put it on when you're in the rain and...
I just received a notice that someone in this group has joined Grouply and has invited me to join. Several other groups I belong to have banned members who...
On the bike I carry no rain gear. If it is going to rain.....I am going to get wet Arm warmers for cold mornings a cycling cap under the helmet* perhaps a...
... A cycling poncho is actually rather civilized compared to regular raingear, as it does a very good job of keeping you dry and sweat-free - it's waterproof...
The Adventure Cycling Association (formerly Bikecentennial) also carries cycling-specific rain ponchos. I'm not sure what the price is, though. Kay in Dayton...

I use a gore-tex rain coat from Performance and am very happy with it. It's my second one and is about 5 years old. I'd advise getting a color that shows up...
Fellow riders, By now we all should have in a good spring worth of riding. Your legs should feel good you should have that new pair of bike shorts bought...
This is all good advice! Thank you. While we at it, maybe now is also a good time to think about your tent. Before I go away on a major camping trip, I like...
Don't forget to take care of the bike as well. If riding in heavy rain or lots of puddles, you can get rid of a lot of lubricant from the drivetrain. Bring a...
Anybody have recommendations, from experience, for recumbent trike riders? -- Nigel A. Gunn, 1865 El Camino Drive, Xenia, OH 45385-1115, USA. tel +1 937 825...
My daughter and I are relative novices on GOBA (I did it last year and this year will be her first). She would like to check out Put-in-Bay on Monday and I...
Your other option is to spend a small amount more and take the Jet Express from downtown PC over to Put-in-Bay. You can still take your bikes across to the...
When I did GOBA a few years ago, we spent the night in Port Clinton. We got up early and did the optional 50 mile ride, then changed clothes and took our...
Those only live for a day! I have a picture from that year, of a van covered in the things. Boy were they everywhere! -Amanda ________________________________ ...
Be sure to also protect your cellphone, camera, etc. from getting wet. Zip-lock bags work well for that purpose. Plastic grocery bags are always handy to have...
Who is our official weather forecaster? Anyway, Accuweather for Friday, June 19. Partly sunny, warm, high of 86! Yeah, Boy, keep it coming. I like hot! ...
Full coverage fenders make a huge difference in how wet you get. Without fenders the rear wheel rooster tail will fling water up your back (where gravity...
