Depot Day Redux 4 x 25 miles 

WAKEMAN ELEVATOR

,This event is similar to the June Depot Day, but later in the year to give those that have progressed over the season a chance to achieve personal goals in the same rider friendly setting. 

Several loop options are offered, (both clockwise - CW, and counter clockwise - CCW).  Do as many loops as you want, quit when you have had enough.  Trail riding will also be accepted.  All routes start and end at the Wakeman Elevator. 

This is a Map/YOYO (You’re On Your Own) ride.  There are no designated ride leaders.  The routes are not marked and there is no SAG support.  It is strongly recommended that you print your own using the RWGPS Event link below.  Riders are encouraged to ride with a partner and carry a cell phone.

Participants should sign in at the Elevator prior to riding.  Riders should also check back in when they are finished riding and to record their mileage for the day and indicate they are no longer on the road.

If any folks submit a newsgroup "request for riding companions", their announcements indicating intended star level, distance and start time will be posted here.

There is limited parking behind the storage facilities behind the restaurant, at the Wakeman Community parking lot and the gravel lot next to Affortable Storage on Railroad Ave.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN WAKEMAN ELEVATOR'S FRONT LOT-THAT IS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS

The Elevator kindly lets us use their facility for this ride so please patronize them throughout the day. Good food and cold beer!

There is also the Wake Up Coffee House on Main St. 6:00 am to 2:00 and the Cream of the Ice Cream Shop on Pleasant St. 12:00 to 9:00 

I am looking for Elevator sitters to sit at the sign in table to assist riders coming and going. Any amount of hours or time of day is needed and welcomed. Please contact me if you can help.

Thanks,

Rick Wells

NOTE REVISED START TIME as of 10:43 p.m. 8/17

I'm leaving the Elevator at 7:30 a.m. for my first loop (route yet to be determined).  I plan to ride at a 3*/3- pace.  I hope to ride 50 miles...maybe 75 miles with the last 25 on the trail...it's doubtful that I will ride 100 miles...but hope springs eternal!  Anyone is welcome to join me, but this is a YOYO ride.  I'm not "leading" a ride, just inviting others to ride a piece with me if you are so inclined.  Eva Weber

2^nd  North, Redux, CW (Burnham Orchards)

3^rd   SE Redux CCW Kipton   possibly trail to Elyria added to this route at mile 20

Laura and I are planning on a 3+ ride on Saturday, , leaving Wakeman Elevator around 8:15 and targeting doing 50 to 75 miles. This will be a YO-YO ride but you’re welcome to join us. We have not decided on specific routes yet. - Jim Byrnes
