I booked a room with 2 queens. On the ground level. Now we just have to figure who is in which ones.

I'll bring my CPAP so I won't be snoring and keeping anyone awake!!

My friend Greg backed out, and My son's friend is on the fence, so it looks like we will have between 8 & 9 people.
Me & son Jason
Nels & his friend Tom
Clint
Vinnie
J D
Matt

Clint, you are welcome to stay with me & Jason if his friend Sam doesn't go, otherwise Nels said you can stay in his room, that might be better for you anyways if what they say about my snoring is true.

So we need to have Vinnie,J D or Matt step up and reserve the third room, any takers????

Looks like J D was booking his room well I was typing, I think we are all set except for figuring out where & when to meet.

Looks like that will work to me.

Just got a call from Rick. Sounds like he and his son will be leaving St. Paul around 2 or 3. Vinnie and I will be leaving here around 3, so we'll be an hour or two behind.

Kooter and JD can hook up with either group if you like, but you should let us know asap so we can come up with a place and time. Anyone else better speak up so you're included in the plans!

I'm gettin' pumped! Should be a great weekend.

Too funny - I'm bringing MY CPAP as well! Do you mind if I share a room with you?

I've got a sleeping bag packed on my bike currently so I can take the floor if we come up short on beds. Let me know what works.

I have absolutely nothing going at all on Saturday, so I can leave whenever from where ever. I'm a sheep, so somebody just tell me when to be where to hit the road!

Then it's your choice. Go with Rick and JD at 3-ish, or wait until 4-4:30 and catch Vinnie and me. Either group is happy to have you.

Looks like we will be splitting up into two or three smaller groups for the ride down to Baraboo, Nels wants to get started at about noon (weather permitting), so him & Tom will go down as one group, (they like to ride fast so it's probably best that they get some of that out of there system) my son & I will be ready by about 3, so any one wanting to leave St Paul around than can go with us, a good meeting place would be St Paul Harley on 94, let me know what your thoughts are.

I'm thinking that I will stay mostly on 94 for the ride down, but if it looks like we have enough daylight I might hit some back roads when I get closer to Baraboo, if anyone wants to ride with Nels, he is going to take mostly back-roads, so his route will be a lot more fun, but will take longer, I might even get there before him.

I guess I'll head out with Rick and company. The Harley shop in St. Paul on 94....I'm assuming that's the one in Oakdale...is that correct? At the 94 / 494 intersection?

Yep, that's the one, I'll contact you at the # you sent me in the PM to set a time.

Probably between 2:30 & 3, but if I can get my work done fast enough it might be sooner, but not much because J.D. can't be there much before that.

I won't know for sure what time I can get of work till around noon on Sat.

We will be meeting J.D. in Hudson.

This is going to be a great ride, a bit cold maybe, but that just adds to the adventure, I'm getting pumped!!!

Just talked with my neighbor and we got bad info, the wedding is at 3:00 pm so I told them that I would not be able to make it. Thus. I can leave at anytime. Well, not anytime. I have a PGR leadership meeting tomorrow at 8:am so I can leave here by the earliest of 10:00 am.

Well, bad and good.

Maybe we ride with Rick, then? That would mean leaving around 1:30. We'd spend less time in the dark.

Works for me. Actually, I kinda glad that we were "misinformed". I really don't like going to weddings. Too much girlie stuff!

Rick, you'll need to keep one of us posted too, then. Vinnie may be out for a while. He has a toaster to return.
