Tucked neatly away in a densely wooded area between Ravenna and Warren, OH, this site would be ideal for an all-day ride. After researching a bit, I found an article that mentioned bike hikes being held on there intermittently. I think it would be a great place for a cyclocross or cross-country race maybe once a year in the fall. It could be called the Arsenal Assault or the Tour de Ordinance.
Here's an interesting news story produced by Julie Grant, formerly of 89.7 WKSU-fm in Kent, OH. Army Opens Ravenna Arsenal for Tour.

In other news, I was almost run down by a tractor trailer last week. I heard the unmistakable holler of a diesel engine behind me and took a gander over my left shoulder as the cab buzzed me, maybe 18 inches away. The trailer had me pinned in a narrow trench between the wheels and the curb.
I slowed down and tried to let him pass, but it seemed like he had the same intentions and did the same. I managed to squeeze out from behind, but was almost hit by another car when I tried to zip past on the left. Not the smartest move, I realize, but I wasn't really thinking straight at that point.
A grisly arm waved me past, but I never managed to see the driver's face, even as I glanced back at him. It was vaguely reminiscent of one of my favorite movies.

Another instance in which I was almost run down.

Also, I got a new wheelset last week. Can anyone hook me up with a seven speed cassette?
