Steve Woosley Memorial Depot Day Rides 4 x 25 miles

This ride was first proposed and organized by club member Steve Woosley. The name was changed in 2019 to honor his memory.

Four 25 mile loop options are offered. (both clockwise and counter clockwise).  All routes start and end at the Abram Pavilion in Oberlin. (next to the gasholder building behind McDonalds).  

This is a Map/YOYO (You’re On Your Own) ride.  Riding the trail is also recordable mileage. 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 map/cues using the RWGPS event link below:

Riders should sign in at the pavilion prior to riding, or, if starting before 8 a.m., stop in between segments.  Riders are also asked to check back in when they are finished riding to record their mileage for the day.  This helps us track who is still on the road.  Note: Restrooms at the Abram Pavilion do not open until 8 a.m. 

If you wish, this event is a nice chance to stretch yourself and achieve a personal record for ride length, do a century - metric or full - or just enjoy a fun ride in a familiar and friendly environment.  Do as many loops as you want, quit when you have had enough,

Details posted as available.

*******************************************************

PJ and Peggy are planning to try the new Depot Day route from Oberlin to Century Park on Lake Erie following the NCIT from Oberlin through Elyria and then the Black River Trails. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46643422   We are  not leading the ride and it is YOYO. But if you are interested in joining us we are leaving Oberlin at 8:00 and doing about a 2+* pace. There are 2 hills that we know of out of Cascade Park in Elyria and going south from Bur Oak to High Meadows. Otherwise there seems to be short rollers. There are bathrooms once you get to the Black River and High Meadow and at Century Park (portapottie)

If you are interested in a longer ride on the way back to Oberlin the NCIT. continues to Wakeman.  Peggy & P.J. Doheny

*****************************************************************

I am planning on riding at a 3* pace starting and 7:30 am.  

Current plan is routes 3 and 2 with the remainder to be determined after the completion of the second loop. 

All are welcome to join but this is a YOYO ride so it is not a no drop ride and I am NOT a ride leader for these rides. Norm Diederich

I am planning on riding 2 loops tomorrow at a 2+/3- pace beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Other riders are welcome.  Bob Burkhardt
