Columbus Rides Bikes!

Left work with Morgen and Andy. Rode over to High and Broad and met with Jay and Dylan. Headed west toward COSI and stopped at the cool scale on Washington (see pics). Then we headed out Front and then got over to Sullivant. Brian, Christine and their friend caught up to us and we headed to the Los Guachos Taco Truck. We did make a stop at Camp Chase cemetery because nobody on the ride had ever stopped (except myself). Food was awesome! Then we rode to Los Potosinos for chicken and ice cream. After some more great food we headed back into town with Lindsey and Mike. Thanks everybody for riding. It was a great evening.

I wasn't going to ride but I made it anyway.... I rode down High to Williams over to Three Creeks and headed up the trail. Headed up Long and wound over to the start. At that point I had 22 miles. We rode south and then west into Franklinton. At Dodge Park we had a particularly difficult flat and a lot of people bailed. Greg and I rode south on Harmon and then up to the bar. 29 miles total. Great weather.

This guy lives on the corner of the split for the 52 and 100 mile route. We turned the corner and he came out of his house with his frying pan and laid into us. If anyone can translate that would be great.
