While out checking for fall photo ops on the route, I came across a group of Lorain Wheelmen on one of their weekly rides. Ron Cicerchi (left), Arthur Petro (center) and Pete Paslawski (right) were out getting in a quick 25-miler before sunset. The Lorain Wheelmen are getting ready for their biggest invitational ride of the year, the Red Flannel. Typically hundreds of cyclists ride what has become the traditional end of season ride for many. This year's ride will be held on November 4. The ride can be done as either a metric century (67 miles) or half century (33 miles). The start and ending point will be the Oberlin Community Center.Locals looking for people to ride with might want to check out the Lorain Wheelmen. Members are of all ages and riding ability and the Wheelmen's calendar features a variety of rides, locally and all over Ohio.
Have you ridden the Red Flannel? Please post your comments and experiences here.

I've ridden the Red Flannel many times. It's the last time you'll see a lot of the familiar faces you become accustomed to seeing out there, until next spring anyway.
The big question is always what's the weather going to be and what to wear. I've done this ride when its sunny and warm and other years have had cold rain and even sometimes snow.
The food is awesome and the ride is always organized well.
