This is what it would look like for Vinnie and me.

tricker · 10-29-2008, 11:29 AM

just had to rain on my parade huh? still up for suggestions of route

oh and upon further review.. that's a beast of a drive for grandpatractor too...

Rickster · 10-29-2008, 11:35 AM

If we are talking about Sat I might not be able to make it, I might have to work.

Most of the best roads around the Cities are to the East & South of St Paul.

I might only have to work half a day, if that's the case I could lead a nice 100 mile loop from the East side of St Paul.

Yeah.

tricker · 10-29-2008, 02:01 PM

anyone else have an idea?

Rickster · 10-29-2008, 02:24 PM

The route I'm thinking of would look something like this.

from:Ideal Ave N to:8th St N/Hudson Rd N to:Stagecoach Trail S to:St Croix Trail S to:State Rd 35/WI-35 to:County Rd O to:US-10 to:County Rd F to:S Carmichael Rd to:97th Ave/MC Cutcheon Rd to:Unknown road to:County Rd E to:45.029984,-92.962189 - Goog

tricker · 10-29-2008, 02:43 PM

ricks idea seems a little more fair to your northern folk..

Minnesota Motorcycle Roads
that's where i got the C-D on my map idea

grandpatractor · 10-29-2008, 07:44 PM

Anywhere is fine with me. Prescott would be about an hour and a half for me and that wouldn't be a problem.I got lots of warm clothes.

Looks to me like this would be more centrally located. Easily doable for me.

So are we meeting in Woodbury? I cannot leave home until 8:45 to 9:00 so I could make it beyond the cities by 11ish. Rick's route looks good to me just need to decide where to meet.

**Clint** · 10-29-2008, 09:12 PM

277 miles. That's a little more reasonable for me.

The St Paul Harley dealership is easy to find, it's right off 94 just west of 694.

If I work till 11:00, I could be there by 11:05.

That sounds like a plan to me. I will be in your area Clint so I can stop by your house at 8:30ish.

tricker · 10-30-2008, 07:19 AM

The rest of us have all met before and will recognize each other, but none of us will recognize you on sight, so to make finding you easier the rest of us decided that you need to dress up like a hoochy girl with a blond Dolly Parton wig, and a short cheer leader skirt.
