Wow; A huge turnout of Star Family members, Our thanks to the members of 404 and 292 for joining us in our annual ride to Hansons Holdup, We did miss our members that could not join in on this ride and hope that you had a great time with what ever you were doing.  
Ken; thanks for another super day of leading one of our rides and for changing the route up from last year, We apologize to all for the short section of dirt Road it was not in the plan but was some good experience for all,   . We did allot of videoing of this ride and when our chapter Master Photographer has it available we will see that everyone See's it.
Lunch at Hansons was on 444 and we were very happy to do this for everyone and if anyone that was on this ride ended up paying for their lunch please see Rich and he will reimburse you.
30 bikes and 34 people, A great turnout.   .
We did a 50/50 at Hansons and the winner was Kristen of Chapter 404 (congrats Kristen)
The man upstairs was very good to us during the ride NO one was hurt and except for a few spritz at the end of the ride ( that didn't amount to anything) it was a super awesome day.
Please remember to check our Calendar, and for those not going to Star Days this year please feel free to join the 444 for the Lanesboro ride on Sunday July 18th all details are posted all are welcome (sorry you have to pick up your own tab this time).

What a great time, now I know my v-star can serve as an enduro/dirt bike as well  .  Was a good test for the knee, I guess I'm ready for Star Days.  Thanks Ken/Jimbo/Cliff and all the others that contributed to the ride.  Lisa and I got sprinkled on just a little outside of Hastings, and also saw a deer go airborne in downtown Redwing, alas I don't think it survived  and the car that hit it (about two cars in front of us) looked to be a little worse for the wear as well.

Gordie it was good to see you up and riding. We are glad you two didn't get to meet that deer up close and personal. Have fun at Star Days and be safe.

Hey, thanks to 444 and the other chapters for the awesome ride!  I told Ken already but - this is only my 4th season of riding - but that ride took 1st place as my favorite and the next is a DISTANT 2nd.  The most beautiful scenery - more shades of green than I knew existed.  Outstanding!  Great company, great surprise for lunch (thank you so much!) and with the exception of the airborne doe in Redwing Gordy and I had the misfortune of barely missing - it was a perfect day.  You guys sure know how to do it!

It was a great ride on Saturday with a fantastic group of riders.  Thanks goes out to Ken for planning the route, Jim & Chris for tailgunning keeping the group safe, and any others who contributed to this ride.  Keeping 30 bikes together on back roads in Wisconsin is no easy feat.  Coming across a gravel road or two in Wisconsin seems to be the norm when you least expect it sometimes.  Not a problem, it was in good condition.

Keep on keeping on!
