Thunder on the Strip in Geneva on the Lake 9/9 covered bridge ride

[cueman]

Since the date is getting near I thought a need to get the idea and the info. out to as many as possible so they can make plans. Rick has been kind enough to offer his organizational ability to set up the covered bridge ride in conjunction with the Thunder on The Strip event if enough interest is warranted. I thought more people would see it here instead of the Ohio Riders thread. If I may add, there is a nice 50s style restaurant in Geneva, before Geneva on the Lake, that would make a good meeting spot. :icon_biggrin: cueman

Just ran this past management (wife) for confirmation. We are in.

If it was Lake Geneva Wi:icon_biggrin:., I would be all over it.

If we can get a few more that are interested we will make this happen.
We have a very nice Covered Bridge Route all set up that we have actually used a couple of times in the past. We have taken a couple of other groups in the past on this route.

There are a lot of members here so I can's see why we couldn't get at least 7 or 8 bikes going on this. There are a lot more in Ohio then anyone thinks, we have several dozen F6B customers all within 100 miles.

Below is picture from one of the Bridge Rides we put on a couple of years ago.

Since only a couple of F6B riders were interested and we had other people asking us to do this again we decided to put the ride on, but for all bikes.
We hope that we can get more then a couple of F6B's at the Bridge Ride. Here is the information.

The date will coincide with Thunder on the Strip in Geneva on the Lake, 9/9/17. http://thunderonthestrip.com/

We will meet at Joey's Italian Grille 11:30 AM, eating 11:45 to 1:00 PM. 2731 Hubbard Rd. Madison, OH. http://www.joeysitaliangrille.com/madison_ohio_italian_restaurants.htm

The Ride will leave Joey's at 1:00 PM.
The ride will consist of 6 Covered Bridges, all paved roads.
There will be an optional ending at the last bridge at 54 miles or take a few more back roads with us and do the whole 68.4 miles.

If you plan on attending we would ask you to email us at valueacc@valueaccessories.net. We need a total number for the restaurant.

Hope to see you there.

Teresa and Bandit are going to have to pre-ride it while I am down in Pigeon Forge.
Looks like a lot of people are interested.

How much highway is involved in the ride? My wife rides a rebel 250 that doesn't like sustained speeds over 65 or so. Just wondering if we should ride two up?

There is no highway at all. Just state routes and back roads. As long as you can go 55 mph, ride through a wooden bridge, and maintain distance from the bike in front of you it is fine.

That's one Bad Ass looking F6C there.

Thanks to Rick and Teresa for organizing the ride. My wife and I had a great time!

It was also nice to meet cueman and python. Hope to see some more forum members at next years rally.

What a pleasure it was for me to be a part of the Covered Bridge Ride. A fine group of people, well organized, and very experienced riders riding in a staggered format was awesome. I feel the people that I met are fine people that I hope to see again on future rides. :icon_biggrin: cueman

[RickW]

It was nice seeing everyone.
We put a few pictures up on our Facebook page.
