Sat. June 7, 2008 Registration opens 7am, Ride at 8 a.m.
The Hot Tamale is a beautiful, flat ride in north central Ohio. Expert riders can choose a 62 mile loop along scenic farm roads. The route meanders along quiet farm roads and through charming small towns. Some riders will choose to enjoy our 34 mile route, while families and casual riders may prefer the 8 or 16 mile options. Helmets are mandatory. Again this year we will offer child-sized t-shirts.

If entering Waldo from Rt. 23, turn left at the BP station and right at G & R restaurant. The park is about 1/2 mile ahead on the left. Just follow the signs! Click here for a map.

2008 Hot Tamale Patch depicts Kokopelli, the Navajo God of Harvest and Plenty. When he played his flute, the sun came out, the snow melted, grass began to grow, birds began to sing, and all the animals gathered around to hear his songs. |
