It looks like we will have a shortened time window for a ride.  Stay tuned.

Alright - new plan:

The St. Jude Ride today looks (again) like a washout.  There might only be a window for a shortened route (on curvy, wet roads).  The storm cells that have moved through in the last few days have been intense and the radar indicates that these may be the same.  I'd said that I wanted to get this ride in today short of tornadoes or lightning storms - well, ....

Ken has graciously suggested a combination ride tomorrow of the Cheese Curd Run with the St. Jude Ride and Bob and I think that sounds great.  It will be Ken's route for cheese curds (I will keep my original route for another time).  We will meet tomorrow (not at Century with 9:45a) at the  Holiday gas station at I-94 and Manning with kickstands up at 10:00am.  Thanks, Ken.     (related topic)


Today instead, consider going to Tousley's Victory event.  Demo rides are scheduled and they may need help manning the grill.

Thanks to all for being flexible.  (I guess the lightning bolts are working yet, Bear. ??? :P ;D )

OK, I was off the air for a bit - I rechecked the radar and I'll give this a shot.  Will 11:00a at the Holiday station at Manning and I-94 still work (less than an hour).

I've talked to most of the folks that were expected to join us (or asked others to relay the info).  If I missed you, I'm sorry - its not at all personal - this is just a last minute ride resuscitation.  We'll probably not leave the Holiday until at least 11:15a.  Otherwise lunch is at Kings in Miesville if you want to catch up to us there - about 12:15 - 1pm or so.

Good led ride Alan.  We had fun and the weather finally cooperated.
