Calendar All Ohio season closer ride - October 20th.

[lee]

What's everyone going to be running?

I’m bringing a p500. As far as I know it will be the only one.

 

[ProudDadOf5]

I can’t wait to meet everyone.. My brother and I will be arriving around 9..

 

[dnjones161]

Sounds like at least 1 more p1k.

I'll try to post an ETA when we finally pull out- hoping for a 10-11 arrival. If we have to find the group out on the trail, NBD!

 

[Neohio]

I'm in a 1k as well. Just got to Zanesville for the evening. Going to hit some dinner. Will probably roll in around 9-9:30 tomorrow.
Meeting at the "P" on the map correct?

We are at the Olive Garden.
Staying at quality inn.

I’m at the campground. Enjoying a fire. Cell service is not good. Will see you guys in the morning, will look for the big P in the parking area.

Anyone want to pick a radio channel? If everyone has one?

You being the only guy with a radio I think we will let you pick.

Lol no radio here you'll just have to hollar and wave at us

 

[Neohio]

Anyone that hasn't arrived, we are going to go for a rip. Be back 11ish to trail head to check for stragglers.

At Perry State Forest.. Fixing to enjoy the ride.. I did wear a WV hoodie in OH and these great folks let me ride in their state.. No rivalry on the trails!!

 

[lee]

A few pics.
Camping last night, campground is small but pretty nice.
They have a trail back to the ride area.

A little stuck in the mud action.
(Hey, it can happen to anyone)

Out on the trail shot of the rides.

 

[ProudDadOf5]

Lets have one last ride before we have to mount the snow plows!

Quick info:

What: informal one day ride in the middleish of Ohio.

Where: Riding at Perry state Forrest APV area (between Columbus and Zanesville sort of)

When: Sunday October 20th.

The trails

Warning: to ride at Perry you must have Ohio state APV registration. (this is why I am listing this as a state event)
There are some exceptions for street registration or out of state (must have your home state APV registration).
For details consult the Ohio BMV.
State of Ohio BMV

Perry is a relatively small riding area, there are multiple loops from a central staging area.
See the State Forrest web site:
http://forestry.ohiodnr.gov/perry
And the map pdf:
http://forestry.ohiodnr.gov/Portals/forestry/PDFs/SF/perry_apv.pdf

Perry is the only state ride area that doesn't require staying on the trails.
There are a few hill climbs and some out law trails (mostly in the southern half)
The only restriction, stay out of the grey mud.
It's some kind of tailings left over from the mining, it will suck you down to the skidplate and not let go.

There is a 62" rule.
A stock p1k fits on the trails just fine.
No gates or anything, don't need @JACKAL to get you threw (Or not).

The ride

My image is, we set up in the staging area (there are a few picnic tables and a vault toilet).
Ride in and out when ever.
Sit around and bs between riding.

This is supper casual run what you brung.
There is no need to bring tools or crazy quantitys of spare parts.
If you break or get stuck there will be some one to pull you out or back to the trail head.
You probably dont need to bring extra gas, the APV area is just not that big.

Camping

There is a campground next door.
You can ride from the camp to the trails.
No camping at the trail head.

Perry Backwoods Campground

When to ride

I plan to snag an area at the trail head, the area marked P on the map.
We will have some type of banner, either my Honda banner hung on the ramp door of my trailer or maybe even a HondaSxS.com banner.
Start time is when you arrive, end time is when you load up and pull out (Forest closes at 11pm).
I may show up the night before and camp but camping is not officially part of the event. (your welcome to hang out with us thou).


So, who's in?
@Neohio , @Zaleski , @JeremieBaker ?

Who else?

Thanks again for putting this together! It was a beautiful day, couldn’t have ordered better weather!

Boy he did alright. He went in hard and instantly got stuck in coal slurry mud. It was so cool to watch. He is hilarious!! I will laugh every time I think about it..

Great to meet everyone today! Finally put a few names (well screen names, Lord knows I'm awful with real names) to faces!

We snapped a few shots going down the creek today. I colored the plate (looked like that's a thing). If you want any of the "unredacted report" PM me lol.

I also snagged a few shots of @Ohio4x4 and @Lisa86 on our second trip out and my phone decided to do some fancy business with them (Google products give some trivial reward for access to all your data )

Turned out kinda neat.
