Jimbo, you are one hell of a road captain.  I am not sure I can make this ride, too many things to do around the house to get ready for you guys and gals on Monday.  Maybe, maybe not.  We shall see.  Sunday does look to be a very good weather day though.  Do you have any idea when the ride will end (how long it will take?)

Jimbo,

Could you please be a little more specific on the directions to this ride.  I was trying to tell Nevill about it and got a little confused and told him I would get back with him later.  Is that Interstate 35E or W? 

Anybody else who knows exactly where this is, can chime in too, if they want to.

Here's my guess (map link) - south and west of the I-35W & Lexington Ave intersection.  Am I close, Jimbo?

Never mind, I figured it out by talking to my ferrier this morning. 

35W north to the Lexington exit. 

My wife says "go", so I will probably be there.  I'll just work my tail off on Monday before the meeting.   :P :P

I'll be there and Nevill (and Coco) will ride with me up to the starting point.  See you all there.

It's going to be beautiful out!

I sucks to sit and read these posts.  Working in Iowa doesn't let me get all the necessary things down except on the week ends when I'm home.  Debbie was off work Saturday and we had some errands to run, then go car shopping for her.  Sunday was my Grandaughters 5th degree black belt test and I had two of my younger grandkids all afternoon.  I only got about 10 miles on my bike.   :'( :'( :'( :'(

Gee Duane, if only you had a second bike you could keep in Iowa to ride around a bit. ;)  Somebody here ::) posted about a bike for sale, but I sure forget who??  (Debbie doesn't read these posts, does she?)  :P :-X ;D
