OHIO IS FOR LOVERS


It say's on the License plate in the great state of OHIO that ohio is for lovers,what they didnt say was lovers of what. Was it the Buckeye! or something else. Well as far as i'm concerned it was The UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI (BEARCATS) the love of many different terrains, and being a place where as a child i got to experience many different things and people. I was born there.

  Like this person your looking at now Ohio native Doug Frederick who i met today who is from a little small town in Ohio called Darrtown,Ohio Most of you never even heard of some pretty prominant cities in ohio so i know you know nothing of this place. Anyway in meeting Doug in the rain at work he was on his bike like in TRU STREET RIDER would be but he was looking for a place to put it while he took care of his personal buisness. I quickly assured him that it would be fine for 2 reasons 1 was i was going to keep an eye out for him, the other is i am a rider also and i wouldnt want to worry about mine.With that Doug myself and another co-worker began to speak about riding and come to find out that the He has been riding for over 20plus years, he also races which i already figured but more impressive than that he has ridden cross country a dream that i pray one day i could accomplish. Doug states that riding saved him, form what he said could have been anything. "if it were'nt for riding i dont know what i would have been into" Doug Has been featured on the Cover of Bike Nasbar Magazine 1993 Sept,Oct. he toured The World Famous LeTour de France. Dougs cross country ride started in LA where he put his rear tire in the ocean to symbolize the tip of the ocean began and finished in Boston Ma. where he dipped his Front tire symbolizing the end. "WOW" in my opinion that is the ultimate!  As far as i'm concerned there would be nothing else to proove unitl the next time there was something else to proove. I could have talked to doug all day but of course time did not permit,but i thank Doug for the time that he gave to this blog and you readers, thats what this is all about TRU STREET RIDERZ those who go out and do it on the road,dirt,hills,track and or mountains.you got to love this. O' and RIDERZ we dont do this with gas or electricity, pure muscle power that seperates us from alot of others. (LOL) just having fun i love and respect all RIDERZ! well thats my opinion  TSR i'm not telling it's right i'm just saying it's MINE!

  1. cross country is the total bike dream. Just cross state is a big goal. Was this gent fully loaded? What kind of bike? Bags? Trailer? Solo? Group? Daily mileage? Etc.....
