Lake County Monday Night Rides

[philjolliff]

Weekly ride Monday nights leaving from Concord Township in Lake County!!!

Every Monday night throughout the summer starting Monday June 6.

We'll be meeting starting at 5:45 PM and we'll aim to roll out at 6:00 PM. Road bikes or tri bikes welcome. Distances will vary anywhere between 25-35 miles with some shorter/longer loop options occasionally for those wishing to ride less.

Meeting place is Lamuth Middle School (Riverside Schools) parking lot on Auburn Road. Address is 6700 Auburn Road, Painesville, OH 44077. Quick directions: I-90 take exit 200 (Rt. 44) go south to the first light and turn Left on Auburn road (heading east). You'll go through one flashing light and one 4 way stop before the middle school will show up on your left (approximately 1.5 miles from the Rt. 44 and Auburn Road intersection).

Ride will be moderately paced - this will be all about challenging yourself. We will slow down and regroup after most groups of hills and if you don't know the area we will be riding lots of HILLS!!! We may break into two groups but that is a long way off depending on how many we get to show up. I'll try to provide some rudimentary cue sheets for those coming out and/or post a link to the ride map on here prior to the ride just in case. We'll explore all that Lake and Geauga County has to offer with this ride!

Check this forum thread for updates if there is bad weather (Tiffany or I should be updating).

Ride is ON for tonight - weather looks great!

Due to my Half Iron yesterday, I'm dead weight, so I'll be bringing up the rear and doing the shorter option...

21.5 mile option
Leave parking lot, head North on Auburn Rd for 1 mile
Turn right on Ravenna Rd. (~2 miles)
Turn left on Concord-Hamden Rd. / OH-608 (~6.5 miles)
Turn right on OH-6 (~3 miles)
Turn right on North St. in downtown Chardon - this becomes Ravenna Rd. (~7 miles)
Turn left on Prouty Rd/Fay Rd (~1 mile)
Turn right on Auburn Rd and end at parking lot

30 mile option
Same as above, except after turning right on North St. in Chardon turn right on Woodin Rd (~3.5 miles)
Then turn right on Concord-Hamden Rd. / OH-608 and in about half a mile you will be back to OH-6 and you can resume normal route.

There is also about a 36 mile route if you choose, we could discuss when you arrive.

We are ON for tonight!

Come on out and ride some hills with me! This should be interesting after my century ride yesterday.....

Probably the same courses as last week.

Ride is tentative for tonight - I'm going to watch the weather - it looks like we could be in for some thunderstorms. I'll update around 4:30 or 5 as I have more information - I could also update Facebook or have Tiffany update if the weather looks bad.

Okay, I give in. Ride is CANCELLED for tonight June 20. It is currently t-storming here in Concord and doesn't look to let up until after 7 pm.

We are ON for tonight!

Expect a good group tonight - beautiful day outside.

If you aren't afraid of your legs hurting, come climb some hills with me as we make our way into Chardon.

Now that Lake Placid is over, Monday's are no good for me anymore and I haven't been on my bike much. Consider this ride postponed until further notice - unless someone else posts on this board that they are doing it and would like company.
