For those who missed out on STAR Days in Reno, like me  :'( :'( :'(, Debbie and I are going to soothe our wounds by running down to Galena for a weekend.  This wasn't to be a planned event, but if anyone felt like making the the run down there, your welcome to join us.  We're leaving Friday morning an returning Sunday afternoon.  I don't know how many rooms are left at The View Motel, but you're welcome to call.  815-858-2205

Let me know if yu're going and if you want to ride down with us.  I'll be preriding part of the Hansen's Hold Up route that I haven't been on before on the way down.

Sure wish we could join you but we're "boxed in" with conflicts on Friday and Monday so we can't make a three day weekend.  Enjoy the miles and the weekend! :) :)

I think that would be me. Doug left Tues morning, with my daughter, Katee for South Dakota. He planned to go with a buddy, but the guy cancelled at last minute. Since I wasn't going on the "guys" trip to South Dakota, it was too difficult to find a last minute dog sitter for our 2 dogs.
Katee took my camera, so I'm excited to see the pictures she takes.

Oops, this topic is getting a little off topic - and sorry, that's completely my fault.  We'll get those lights back on shortly and have our "good night John Boys" later. :)      ::flipping switch::

Meanwhile back to our regularly scheduled topic, Debbie posted this here:

Not sure we're even going to Galena yet if that baby's not born.  My daughter-in-law is 8 days late and not one glimpse of being anytime soon.  What the heck...stubborn little lady.

I'm sure Duane will post the news if we're going or not.

By the way....new handle for Chappy.....'ORC'.......any guesses what that stands for?  I'll buy your lunch on the next ride if you can guess (the next ride I am on with you all that is!).

Good luck!!!!!!!

I don't think anyone else is going.  There are no planned rides apart from Debbie and I just relaxing for the weekend.  She has a shopping mission at the leather jacket store down there.  We haven't really planned a departure time other than mid morning from our house near 35W and Hwy 10.  You can call me on my cell phone 651-280-8915.
