Ok, then Sunday it is?  I told Neville, Sunday, so if that changes, let all of us know. 

See you at the meeting point.  I think I will be taking my "dog" on this one.  Chilly, but no wind and sunny.  Leaves should be in their prime this weekend.

I've been watching the temps for Sat & Sun.  I think it will start out chilly on Sunday, but the afternoon should be nice.  Wear your leathers and warm gloves.

Went for a ride up to Lindstrom today to check out restaurants.  I think the Dinnerbel provides off street parking and a screened deck we can eat on and keep our leathers on.  Here is a link to their menu if you would like to decide what to eat ahead of time.  I told them we would be there between 1:00 and 1:30.  They said we could pre-order our food and call 30 minutes ahead, but I think there would be screw ups if we did that.  I'll just call from Harris and let them know we are on the way.

So it seems you picked the right day for this ride, Sunday.  Today was ugly.  Windy, cold, sprinkles and cloudy. 

Tomorrow will be a much better day.  See you all at the starting point.

Thanks to Chappy for leading and Cliff for tailgunning. 

Great day, great ride.  For those that couldn't make it, you missed a good one.  Next time.....

It was a pleasant surprise to see so many people come out for the ride.  It was 34 degrees when I left my house to go to church.  It warmed up quickly and with no wind, it was one of the better fall rides I've been on.  Thanks to everyone that came.  I wonder if we can squeeze in another ride this month. . .
