Peoples Choice Ride - Sun, July 8th
« on: June 12, 2012, 12:15:00 AM »
I will lead a ride but you get to pick what kind of ride and/or where.  What kind of ride do you prefer?  What's missing from the ride calendar that you'd like to see?  Long or short, highway cruise or back country tour (or mixed), just a ride or destination(s)?  Currently, I have no plan other than to commit to having some sort of ride to somewhere on the 8th.

Post your thoughts and tell me where we're goin'.  If you've got a time constraint ("can't leave until" or "gotta be back by"), just lemme know.  If someone has a definite idea and would like to lead, I'll give up the date.  If someone would like to lead partway just to see what its like "up front", I will support whatever leading or route planning you're not comfortable with.  If you'd rather, or there is no input, I'm fine with planning the ride.  But if you feel something's missing, this is your chance.

We'll be in town the rest of the week and then four time zones away ;D with no internet for the rest of June.  (We are planning on making the Wednesday Dinner Ride.)   I'll read all the input when we get back and post details the week before.

My bike is at Tousley now gettin' tuned up and I'll be off the bike for two weeks so you know I'll be ready to ride! ;D

Let's ride - you help decide where!

Let's start in the west metro and end in the east, lots of nice roads in Carver and Wright Countys.

Thanks, Rich for the only feedback so far.  After just getting back very late Friday we've been pretty busy unpacking, then gettting ready for and hosting company this week.  I did ride briefly Sunday evening but I'll only have Friday to preride any plan I put together.  For this reason I'll have to forego Rich's suggestion and only plan on roads I already know.  We'll get a west metro ride on the calender later.

I'll have a route put together by Friday evening or for Saturday's meeting.  It sounds like no one has any time constraints or ride length suggestions though.  


Maybe we'll make it an IronAZZ ...
 

or we could find some twisties in SE Minn ...
 



but more than likely it'll be a short-medium ride
maybe north or east ... maybe a couple Rustic Roads



Stay tuned ...

Bob, Saturday looks rainy at this point, but the ride is on Sunday the 8th.  

Sunday's weather looks a little cooler and dry.  I'm in, if I don't get more hay to put up in the barn.   :P

We will meet at Century Power Sports in Stillwater (map) at 8:30 am with kickstands up at 8:45.  It should be somewhere around a 4.5 hour ride.
