Shed Building Plans

 I dont normally ride charity rides but when I do its the Mid Ohio Walk, Run or Ride event put on by Summit Therapy Charities. I really enjoy this one and what makes it special is the venue.  Ive ridden here before but the last time was on my recumbent bike.  The Mid Ohio Sports Car Course hosts world class racing of sports cars and  motorcycles. Everything from Indy car and super bike, amateur racing and vintage bikes and autos.

The 2.2 mile circuit is laid out on the south slope of the Clear Fork Valley and this makes the track a challenging ride on a bicycle.  Quite a bit of the course is uphill and the first time I rode I was dismayed at my speed dropping to into the single digits while aboard the recumbent.  Back then I told myself the next time I would ride the Motobecane road bike and take advantage of its faster climbing ability.

      

 This time around the RoadQueen met me at the track and agreed to be my photographer.  I tried to talk her into bringing her bike but she thought it was a serious type of ride which of course it is not.  This year they did have a competitive 5K running race but aside from that the promoters put the emphasis on a do it at your own pace fun type of event.  

Even so its a race track and I cant help but not stomp on the accelerator.  I like to simply race the clock and see what kind of performance I can get out of myself.  Normally Im taking pictures of the things I see along the ride but in this case since I have a photographer Ill treat you my dear readers to some photos of my awesome form around the track! It is my blog after all.

  

Much easier to dodge the slower riders and pedestrians on a thirty foot wide race track than on the bike trail.
