My first time riding in SE Ohio.
1047 miles.
1: Hour lost wandering amazed in Iron Pony.
1: Twisty 555 in the dark.
8: "Oh f*ck" top of hill moments
Many: Houses/Trailers I was afraid would make me a basement pet if I crashed and needed help at night.
3: Eight ball ass kickings by Ray (Ohio State intramural pool champ 2 years running) and his brother Dave.
2: Times Ray made up new pool rules.
5: Hours riding route 26 and connecting roads before lunch....sometimes even with Ray/Dave/Wayne in sight.
0: Attractive ladies in the laundry mat on Saturday night when I was getting quarters for the pool table. (come on college town)
1: Close loss to Fred in Eight Ball after adopting Ray's "rules".
2.5: Fifths of whiskey/bourbon.
0: Days I woke up without a headache. I blame the bed.
3: Days of perfect weather.
2: Great hugs from FJRFarrier.
2: Incredibly lucky "get out of jail free" speeding stories by Wayne and Ray.
0: Times late for KSU.
Much: Laughs and great scenery with some old friends and some new friends. Can't wait for the 2021 Ramble.

Re: Fall SEO 2020 Ride Report
Awesome report. Many parallel observations that coincide with my first visit in 2004. And I wholeheartedly endorse your signature line. That is a mantra in SE Ohio.
Oh.
And Flat, straight, boring.

Sounds like a fantastic time! I wish I could have made it, but family commitments took priority.
