I can’t say enough about the Roscoe Ramble. By far, your organizational skills for this ride was commendable. The stops, food, scenery was breath taking. I thoroughly enjoyed the lunch stop at the Yoder-Miller farm – by far the best cucumbers I have ever ate! Please don’t change a thing, need the smoothies next year as well. Looking forward to many more Roscoe Rambles. Would appreciate including my email on your ABC ride as well. Thank you, Jim.

Thanks for putting on such a great event. On Saturday before lunch, I ratedthe roads as “A,” and then after lunch, they got even better – “A+.” I couldn’trate them on Sunday because my legs were a little tired, but I know they were inthe same category, and biking through the beautiful, quiet countryside was justwonderful.
The food was the outstanding. Homemade Amish, homemade “English” – couldn’tget any better.
Everything was well organized, all of the volunteers were more than helpfuland friendly. I can’t wait to come back next year.

I wanted to thank Jim and Judy Birt and all the volunteers for Roscoe Ramble. This was my first Roscoe since 1998, as this is my first summer back in Ohio and not a student. It has always been one of my favorite rides and I plan on going next year and inviting my friends from Indiana.
