All the way from Montana to make a half day WI ride? Wow! If you need a place to crash I am just a few miles off 94.

Did you get out for a ride?

tricker · 05-04-2009, 06:27 AM

i only put in about 60 miles this weekend. 18 holes of golf and a 12 pack of beer got in the way saturday.

grandpatractor · 05-04-2009, 09:26 PM

I tallied up about 550 miles this weekend. Road down to Wisconsin Dells on Friday and back today. It was a little cool on Friday and just perfect today. Just a bout time for some new rubber . I'll have to do that before this ride for sure.

so do we have an idea where we are riding in a few weeks?

**Clint** · 05-05-2009, 11:22 AM

I was supposed to put some ideas together. I'll try to do it today.

Ten days to go. It's almost time to start looking at long range weather forecasts.

frostbitevinnie · 05-07-2009, 06:15 PM

I show 70 F and some clouds

**Clint** · 05-07-2009, 10:57 PM

Here's one possible. It covers the following from the Wisconsin Motorcycling SW page:

A>B - Cty Rd A
C>D - Cty N, D, SS, J
E>F>G - Cty E & Alligator P
H>I - Cty J, G, F

This is what it might look like for Vinnie and me. Almost 500 miles. That might be about all I can handle this early in the season. This is what it might look like for Thunderburd. Over 600 miles.

Here's where we all are, except GrandpaTractor. I don't remember what city he's in. GT, you've got a PM.

Thoughts? What are your personal limits? Should we all crash Adam's place Saturday night?
