Sounds like fun but I would never make it by 930 with Anna that far away. Have fun and be safe!

The extra traffic shouldn't hinder us from a good ride. After all the flood run managed 50,000 bikers s few weeks ago I'm sure there's room for us on our bikes and the people going to the sales

Thanks for the note Jason, but what's the plan? Is the ride down 35 & 61 all the way to Winona or something else?

I haven't ridden these roads during this event.  I'm visualizing cagers driving slowing while looking to dive into an "ideal" parking spot along the highway, while others pull out rapidly after picking up their new "treasures".  :o  Ya know - the usual stuff - just more of it! ::)

WI 35 and US 61 are good roads (normally) - back roads are nicer but would take longer.  Jackie's got a valid question; others might like to know as well.

Pretty sure wi35 cut over to 61 in red wing and take 61 down.

There aren't really allot of places on 61 I can picture people pulling over at.

I've been down thru there in the past during this sale and its not as much traffic as you would think.

Jason, we'll have to get together on a Sun when your off of work and make a ride out of it and talk about it. Biggest thing is where you will mount and how the air horn assembly and if you want an all in one air tank with compressor or if you want them separated cost will be close to the same under $150.

the plan you have coming down 35 to RED Wing then crossing over to 61 is the best , it will have the fewest cars.
I was out today and it wasn't bad.

I will be coming up and catch you some place along the way

see you all tomorrow  morning
