I woke up this morning and as soon as I heard the outside temperature I started to gather my gear. I checked my tire pressure, ran to the gas station, filled up with gas and air, and headed down to the Cuyahoga Valley. The roads were just a bit greasy so I took it easy and parked at Angel Falls Coffee Shop in Akron. From the time I woke up until I sat down for a Cappuccino, I felt like a kid on Christmas! She ran like a top and even though I was just cruising, I was thrilled to be on such an incredible machine! Some days feel like a kick in the teeth, this morning I was bathed in honey by the grace of God. | ||

when I was a kid - grew up in Highland Hts...took Rt 6 to 174 (Falls Rd) south into Chagrin Falls - the river road was a great way to have fun - looks like you're a bit south of HHts, try 91 to 87 once in town look for N Main (Chagrin falls) head North on River road to Rt 6 - enjoy it while you can- the riding season is too short back there. Have fun - Good Luck! | ||

It was beautiful from 06:00 until about 08:45. I rode to work and spent the last ten minutes in a steady rain. I actually work in Chagrin Falls and sometimes ride River Road at lunch time, it is a nice trek. This morning's forecast on Fox 8 was for clearing later this afternoon, the current radar has me thinking I am going to get pretty wet on the way home but I am still not going to complain. | ||

When I woke to thunder, I didn't bother with the bike today. I did get a nice ride in Saturday afternoon, temps pushing 50 and partly sunny was good enough for me. I won't get another ride in for at least two weeks due to the job and this effed up NEO weather. I was just hoping for two decent days last week to get out for a before and after dyno pull/exhaust mount. Naturally I would have no such luck. Last year my bike spent April in the shop for the voltage regulator. Hopefully she keeps running this year, knock wood. | ||

I waited it out until 6 PM at my office in Chagrin Falls and chose to stay off highway primarily due to the pools of water that tend to develop on Route 8 between Rt 303 and Steels Corners. It was drizzling at worse and my leather gear kept me about 90% dry. It was still warm enough to be comfortable. Tomorrow & Thursday looked like good days to ride, as of yesterday, but the forecast keeps changing...we shall see. | ||

If the roads are dry, I'll be riding the area South of Peninsula after 6p on Thursday. | ||

Tpoppa: Weather permitting I will ride and could meet you on my way home. | ||

I'm out for two weeks, but you fellas are talking about some of my favorite roads. | ||
| Clk92vette |
Steels Corners between Blossum and Akron-Peninsula is my favorite local run: nice sweepers, good road surface, good visibility, and no cross traffic. If only it was about ten miles long instead of one. | ||

You guys should plan a ride to SE OH. The area south of Peninsula is good for local, but that doesn't really compare to the better roads in other parts of OH. | ||

I am organizing a group ride for Sunday May 1st to run Route 94 to Mt. Eaton. I have read good things about this route. If anyone is interested in joining, let me know. | ||

I rode about 90 miles yesterday afternoon. Cold, but at least the roads were dry. | ||

May 1st is the "Louie Run" Charity ride for many of us in the upper North East corner of the state , I'll have to pass on this one , I'll try and catch you guys on the next one .... | ||

Where is route 94???? | ||
| Clk92vette |
It runs all the way north to Brooklyn as Ridge Road but is really interesting just SE of Doylestown under the guise of Mt Eaton Rd. | ||
