I wanted to go on this ride, but I have to change my total schedule and drive down to Tennessee with my kid so she can get her new car ( Im driving the old one back).  She is moving down there, so she had to buy a car from there, and its confusing to me too,soooo, ummm I spend the weekend in a car on the hiway not having fun!
Ride safe, have fun for me!!!

Blu,

Looks like a fun morning ride. Reminder to you that Boom Boom, WindRider and I will be on the MS MC Tour this weekend and not able to attend your ride.

Have a good time.

   DONT EAT PIE FOR BREAKFAST   

Why on earth not?!?!?!

[KAKTUS]

I don't have a good reason

It's something my mother always told me and I never asked her WHY? 

[Blu]

My point exactly!!!

And yes I remember, you guys have a great MS ride  I wish I was riding with you... but, someone needs to hold down the fort while your out of town. I'll see you in September

Why on earth not?!?!?!

Now this is just a rumor, and I have no idea how true it is, but the rumor I've heard is that comsuming too much pie can cause baldness.

[Blu]

OUCH! That hurt... I'm guessing that you will not be joining us?

[Troubled1]

This one could be a fun one, but..  unfortunately my bike is in the shop with a electrical problem and I don't expect it back before Tuesday next week..

[Boom Boom]

Everyone have a safe and fun ride tomarrow like Chuck said I'll be on the MS tour heading to Black River Falls for the night and back home Sunday. 

[Blu]

Thanks Boom Boom, have a good ride this weekend.

Terry, get that bike fixed! Let's ride soon.

[Jerzee Boy]

Planning to ride. Blu, let me know if you want to ride up to Betty's together tomorrow morning. We can meet at that corner on CR46 at 7:30 (or earlier if you must).

[Blu]

Finally! A dry day

It's on! Let's eat some pie and loose some hair... whatever.   

Come have breakfast and 

The ride should be good if our roads haven't been washed out or flooded.

Nice ride today!

The weather totally cooperated  for the first time in weeks. We had nine riders show up for our short ride: Jerzee Boy (Tim), Tucker666 (Bob), Rollin Recliner (Bruce), Dan2e (Dan), Big Dog (Joe), Milanator (Milan), and Dinovtx (Bob) and a guest rider Dave. My thanks to Dinovtx for winging and Jerzee Boy for Tail Gunning.

Milan, Dan2e and Tucker666 had breakfast with us and then broke off after the first stop to go farther north than the rest of the group, they ended up doing close to 275 miles. The rest of us jumped on two Rustic Roads 101 & 103 heading south. RR103 had a fallen tree across it requiring us to make our 2nd U-turn of the day. Amazingly, other than the tree on RR103 we didn't see any other storm damage. Our total miles ended up to be closer to 90 miles.

Just prior to RR103 Dave had a mechanical requiring us to cut short the ride and call the ride at Nelson's Ice Cream in Stillwater. Dave it was great that you joined us, hope you can work out your mechanical issues and rejoin us on future rides.

Great ride guy's, excellent team work in helping Dave with his mechanical.

All in all, a good day.
