Cruisehard's Rat Rod adventure(pic heavy)

[cruisehard]

Awesome day for a cruise!
Eastwood Metro Park. Destination: River Scape in downtown Dayton Ohio.

The beginning...

It's quite difficult to take a pic of yourself while cruising...

Rockin'! (mp3 player mounted with velcro)

Almost there...

Huge fountains! Beware...you will get wet from the overspray!

Destination River Scape.

Electra Rat Rod SS...less gears, more beers! haha

Yours truly...

On the way back...

Lots of cool spots to fish or just chill...

The End. (Yep...the seats fold down and I shove my bike in the back)

nice. they're been working on reclaiming the riverfront here for parks and a trail. i rode it a bit when i lived downtown, but unless i get a truck and haul a bike into the city i can't do it now.

 

[cruisehard]

Thanks. The only thing good about living in Dayton Ohio is the trails....though I'd rather be cruising a beach front or something.
EDIT: "On the way back" pics added

Thats a nice trail. Ours isn't quite as scenic as that. I'll have to get some photos up of the trail here in Muncie. Your pics make me want to drive over for a ride!

These are very cool pics. Thanks for sharing. That's an awesome place to ride too. It's really cool being able to see where other folks are riding in other parts of the country.

nice little river ride ( how long is the trail you rode ? )

they are constantly working on this river trail where i live , its a real nice trail , but its just hardpack gravely junk .

you know how it is , after spending half an hour shining up the tires with armourall ( ya just don,t wanna ride the gravel trails )

but the other trail in town ( called the IRON HORSE TRAIL ) was an old railway track that runs thru town .
its paved over , nice and flat , trees on both sides most of the way , but its only about 5 miles long .

thanks for the pics .
i,m working on a camera mount so i can video my ride down the ironhorse trail .

The trail from the park to downtown is only about 4 miles, then the trail continues for another 15 or so miles down the river... Thanks for commenting and looking forward to your video.

I lived in Columbus from 1990-1999. we used to go to the Dayton Gunshow and the Big Ham Radio Convention there. I drove through Dayton 500 times back and forth visiting relitives in Iowa. I was even stopped by the OSP in Dayton - having a .32cal Browning in the front seat - believe it or not, they let me go . . . :roll:
