545.0. "TOSRV - the ultimate Mother's Day" by RICKS::SPEAR (The Culture Penguin) Tue Feb 16 1988 11:28

That's the Tour of the Scioto River Valley

... 105 miles from Columbus to Portsmouth (Ohio) on Saturday and
105 miles north on Mother's Day Sunday.  May 7 and 8, 1988, will
be the 27th annual TOSRV and my first.  

Sally Osborn is the expert at this one.  Sally, John Kowaleski, and I are 
driving out to Ohio in her van.  Anyone else from the Boston / New England
area heading out there and want to caravan?

545.1Centuries?FENNEL::HATCHERTue Feb 16 1988 13:476
    I am proceeding well in my off season training and would like to
    start some long rides when the roads clear.
    
    I've never done a century and would like to do one in the spring.
    Does anyone know of any centuries in the May-July time frame in
    the Nashua area?

    re .1	The first B-M-B qualifier is 200 Km in early May, I
    think.  Alternatively we could set up an informal just_fer_fun_run.
    Anyone else want to aim for a May century in this area ?

545.3Century on May 7thNOVA::HOLDENTue Feb 16 1988 15:337
    Right, if you consider Newton in the Nashua area then the
    200km (124 miles or thereabouts) fits right in.  Its 
    scheduled for May 7th.  Cost is minimal (about $5) and
    there will undoubtedly be riders of various levels to
    ride with.  The course will probably be the same as last
    year.  Its a little hilly and scenic.

Please keep this note for TOSRV talk.  Look in other notes for news on 
upcoming Centuries.

Thanks,

545.5Don't Forget TOSRV-EASTAQUA::OCONNORThe law dont want no gear-gammerWed Feb 17 1988 09:1711
    Hi,
    
    How about the second oldest TOSRV.  I'm talking about TOSRV-EAST
    which is held every June in scenic and very hilly Vermont.  It has
    same format as TOSRV in Ohio.  
    
    Re to .1
    One of the 2 days of centuries would fit your bill since it is late
    June.

    re .6	UMBIKE::  ??

   Yes, UMBIKE.  I'm the proud father of a new Vaxstation 2000, and that's my 
node name.  Stands for Ultra-Marathon bike, if you hadn't guessed!

545.11Riders wanted for TOSRVRICKS::SPEARThe Culture PenguinMon May 02 1988 11:178
Sally and I have an opening for this coming weekend's TOSRV.  Read .0 for more
info on this ride.  If you would like to get in a quick 210 miles, give me a
call at dtn 225-5275. 

We will be leaving Thursday night, and returning Monday so to qualify for this 
ride, you need at least 16 vacation hours :-)
