Hansons Holdup - July 10th

[Chappy]

Well, Debbie has been working some really long hours - inventory time at Sears.  She has been falling alseep in the middle of things.  I didn't thing she would be able to make another 5 or 6 hours of riding after getting to Hansen's, so I pushed our bike trip out a day.  We won't leave until Sunday.  Looks like we'll make the whole ride on Saturday.

I am soooooooo looking forward to this ride Saturday.  Sorry we couldn't all make two rides (vikings and Hanson's), but I plan on cruising to the holdup with a smile on my face all day.  Got the bike all cleaned up after that drenching I took coming home on Monday from Nebraska.  Boy did it rain like there was no tomorrow.  Right around Eagan.  I hate to say it, but I had to wait under a bridge on that one.  Been doing a lot of "honey dos" for the wife while I have been on vacation.  I need to go back to work to get some rest.... 

I might just meet everybody at the hwy 61 and hwy 10 meeting place.  Haven't decide yet.

Looks like we've got a commitment from Jessi's parents to watch the kids for the day, so we'll be there!   Most likely, Jessi will be riding with me, enjoying the sites.

Rich, Lisa, Kristen, and myself will be there!  Gordy/anyone else coming from the South... we are planning on meeting at the Walgreens at Cedar and 160th in Apple Valley, leaving at 7:30 and then heading over to the Legion in Hasting for breakfast.

Don't think I will make a 7:30 breakfast, see you at the point.

Due to my forced early retirement (aka unemployment  ) & Dougs work having a broken machine  , we are able to make this ride. We will meet up with the rest of the group at The Point.

Looking foward to a great day with everyone.

Thanks Ken for that great ride.  It was indeed a fun filled day.  Nice amount of bikes and people.  Always brings a tear to my eye when I see all of those bikes on the road and my favorite music playing in my helmet.  To all of those that didn't make it, we missed you and wish you could have been there.  There will be other rides.  In fact, next Sunday is the Lonesboro ride.  

Almost forgot, thanks 444 for the food.

What a great day !!! Good riding, great folks and good food.
Thanks Ken for leading a very scenic ride, even with its small challenges at times.
Had never seen those parts of WI before.
We put on just shy of 300 miles for the day, and both had a blast.
Thanks 444 for the food, nice bonus
I tried to post the pics to the site, but it wont let me log in .... at least I have pics this time Will have to talk to our web pro and get some lessons

Agree with all - great ride, Ken!    And thanks to Cliff as Tailgunner and traffic control from (at least) Jimbo and Tommy (the cagers were aiming for us in a few spots).  The GPS says 277 miles for us door to door but I still need to fill 'er up.  A quick 5 minute shower broke as we were getting off the bike in the garage - perfect!!  I'll post a GPS track map a bit later once I download it.

@tulip  -  "web pro" ... we got us one of those?  Boy do I have some questions for him!!    It looks like you need to Register for a gallery page here.  I'll quickly approve it and you'll be ready to Add Albums and then Add Items.

It was a great day with a lot of good friends. Thanks Ken for a very good ride. We were almost home and called a friend and ended up in Anoka for a BBQ. For the day we put on around 350 miles.
