Title: John Schlitter-103K Bobcat ride Post by Killer Bee on Jun 2nd, 2009, 10:10pm John Schlitter is going to be in town briefly this weekend & will be riding my 103K LSR Bobcat ride on Saturday. Sara K will also joining John, Peggy & myself. We would love to have company(a good Rbent participation would be cool ). This an LSR ride,but for $25, you can join RUSA & ride along with us & eat at Lucy's (on the square)after the ride.Where else can we ride with John for $25? You can e-mail me at strada177@yahoo.com(or PM me) if you're interested. RUSA's website is:http://www.rusa.org/ |

Title: Re: John Schlitter-103K Bobcat ride Post by Killer Bee on Jun 2nd, 2009, 10:33pm Yeah, this should be a great ride. Sorry it was a last minute posting, things kinda came together late. Greg, sorry you won't be able to join us. |

Title: Re: John Schlitter-103K Bobcat ride Post by evblazer on Jun 2nd, 2009, 10:56pm So will John be racing out to put the hurt on the DFs on this ride, probably a recovery ride for him, or crawling along at a regular rider pace? |

Of course back then I was on a Bacchetta hmm. Hm so the next question is bobcat an out and back or a loop? If there is more then one midpoint control I could blow my legs out for the first few miles then uhm get a cramp and turn around and limp back to try and come in before y'all have started lunch.

Title: Re: John Schlitter-103K Bobcat ride Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Jun 3rd, 2009, 8:20am I can't do it, Terrie and I are doing the Komen fundraiser walk... I would think John and SK would be intending to do this as a "social" ride, not a 100K hammerfest, but maybe not... Have fun! |

Title: Re: John Schlitter-103K Bobcat ride Post by Kwijybow on Jun 3rd, 2009, 8:53am If you haven't done the Bobcat route I highly recommend it! About as low traffic roads as we get around here, and Lucy's is not to be missed. Take Care, Nelson. |

It's pretty easy climbing-wise, as well. |

I don't know about that, considering how much time we had to kill at the first two controls that last time I rode with him. Of course, at that point he was trying (quite successfully in fact) to school a DF rider on what a Bacchetta could do. |

I say their might be some sprints, but overall, I think it will be social. 3hrs,27 mins is as fast as the route can legally be ridden. That record is safe. |

Title: Re: John Schlitter-103K Bobcat ride Post by Killer Bee on Jun 3rd, 2009, 12:23pm For those that want to ride Saturday morning, there is plenty of free parking on the square in downtown Celina(Ohio & W.Pecan St). The first control is 2 blocks to the east on Pecan. |

Title: Re: John Schlitter-103K Bobcat ride Post by FrankB on Jun 3rd, 2009, 12:26pm Where is the start of this ride? Thanks |

Frank B, here's a link to the route map. The ride officially starts after you get your permanent card signed at the Bobcat Kuntry convenience store(Diamond Shamrock on E.Pecan downtown Celina). The ride also finishes at this same convenience store. Again, this is a RUSA ride, & all riders will be given route cue sheets/permanent cards at the start. http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/243100 |

Title: Re: John Schlitter-103K Bobcat ride Post by Killer Bee on Jun 3rd, 2009, 3:16pm Also, all riders bring a pen, there is an information control along the wrote. The question/location is provided on the permanent card. |

Title: Re: John Schlitter-103K Bobcat ride Post by bikerteam on Jun 3rd, 2009, 3:51pm Bud = is Rose coming? If yes, I bet I can talk Angie in coming... and joining RUSA/LSR. |

Why not join, it's just a matter of time before Angie is riding 200/300K's anyway. Don't let Dan D set your LSR goals, look what happened to Peggy & I. We have 1/2 of a another series to complete. |
