Leafy Oaks Bike Camping Trip
June 9th
Park on far East end of the Municipal Court Parking lot. (We will be giving our car makes and plate numbers to the Police Department.) If you are wanted, borrow a vehicle from someone else.
8:30 a.m. - Oberlin Municipal Court parking lot. Ace Hardware - 55 miles - Eric Weaver, Rick Wells and Rob Hipskind leaders
Description - First day of a three day camping ride will be about a 55 mile ride to Leafy Oaks Campground (6955 N. State Route 101, Clyde, OH.) Lunch stop at mile 39/40 in Bellevue and then a stop at the Mad River Railroad Museum,(admission $10). Roads will be a combination of paved roads, paved trails and small sections of non-paved trail. No SAG available. Planned routes initially total 163 miles for the three day trip.
If you are planning on camping, Eric, Rick or Rob would like your commitment as soon as possible so we can reserve camp sites next to each other (Hopefully by the fishing lake). DEADLINE - NO LATER THAN JUNE 1st to be included with the Ride Leaders arranging the camping lot reservations. (After June 1st, you are on your own for reservations but you can certainly ride with us.) Costs will be communicated shortly after June 1st to each rider that is part of the Club reservation and at that time your commitment to camp is non-refundable even if we are rained out or you chose to not attend for some other reason. Leafy Oaks has told us that they will let us put several small tents on each camping lot, so we assume our cost will be about $10 per night.
