The infamous Blue Jay Roving Ride began as the brainchild of Tim Faigley. He ably managed the ride for a few years before tiring of it and turned things over to Cindy B, aka Flyin Tuna. Cindy struggled with the project and at the last minute, realizing she was in way over her head, begged me to intervene. Helping the disadvantaged has been a life time passion of mine and although the challenge of covering for her ineptness would prove a heck of a chore, I have stuck with it.
Anyway, the direction the route historically took was clockwise. Last year, we took the counterclockwise direction. Although the elevation gain was of course the same, the 2-3 major climbs were longer and not so steep in the counterclockwise direction. What direction do you want us to run the route this year? The "Old" way (clockwise) or the way of last year's ride (counterclockwise). CAST YOUR VOTE IN THE COMMENTS FIELD AND WE WILL GO WITH THE MAJORITY.

counterclockwise. If I remember right it has less lost momentum going to Rte 40 and the rest stop is more than half way through the ride.

I like the traditional route, which I guess is clockwise.

The Blue Jay ride must be the traditional clockwise route.

I'm with Dave, since we have so few water stops on this route, I'd prefer the COUNTERCLOCKWISE approach.

No on Kenda!

The Kenda votes shouldn't count. They're too slow and they take too many "nature" breaks.

Can't attend! So I'm voting both directions. Calling on all Kenda's world way, need to put an ass whupping on the local riders.

For those Kendas' wanting to put a whupping on the local riders, stop by my apartment the day before.

How can you say they can't hang? How would anyone know? Usually, they arrive and discover various mechanical issues so they start late or, they start with us and then go off on their own route. I mean they could be out there hammering and preparing for the coup de gras on the Blue Jay ride. I prefer to stay neutral on this affair.

The Kenda New England charter group will be making an appearance in support of our fellow Kenda Midwest riders.

The only "hammering" I've heard from Team Kenda is the magnum bottle of wine Kenda Dave drinks the night before a ride! What kind of training is that? God forbid if Kenda Dave stops drinking. He'll hammer us "local" riders into submission.

What about the West Coast muscle?

Has anybody contacted them yet? I have a feeling they are waiting for their orders.

My vote is straight out 40 to Zanesville and then straight back on 40 to Nerk.

I'll go with counter-clockwise so there's only one climb (instead of two) after the food stop.

clockwise

because of the flint ridge water stop about 12 miles from the finish, especially on a hot summer day.
