Love to see this Andrew! Definitely bud, I'll still help you. Heck, I might even ride with one of ya

As for the route, I actually switched it up in mid cruise as we went to get some higher speeds on the top of the bluffs on "OO". I would recommend this road for more straight on cruising. It also depends on the attendees and the driving experience levels.

I think a great idea would be to actually flip the route. Take south on 52 for some easy cruising, head west through the twisties and then eat in Wabasha. Its a great area for group photos for you guys as well.

If you don't flip it, I don't recommend the quick "in and out" on Hwy E because of the random stop sign. Always kicks everyone's a$$es. Going north on that road is MUCH better.

 

Count me in!!!

 

I'm most definitely in!

 

Matt had a great idea, last year a few of us had a
Rib cookout to begin the 2012 year and did a photoshoot after. We might have to make this happen before the cruise may 25th

 

excited for the nice weather to come! count me in as well!

 

Only if you're mom is cookin'!!!!!!!!!!! DELICCCCCIOUS

 

I think anybody whose around will do this. I keep getting **** for not going last year so I think i'll probably have to do a cruise this time around lol.

 

Good to know Lance! Thank you for the info just have a couple of questions lol...

Been looking around trying to find the "OO" road you mentioned, and cannot. Could you enlighten me a little more on this?

Also, the creamery we always stop at, what is the name of that? That always seems like a good pretty much halfway "break point".

I like the idea of going backwards of what we have done in the past.



Hmm I like this idea! Now do we want to try and plan a Rib cookout for before the cruise or after?

Could a little later at say noonish with ribs then continue the day. Otherwise, keeping schedule similar to what is is then have a Rib Cookout dinner to end the day?

 

Creamery you speak of is in Nelson, WI. Its called the "Nelson Cheese Factory"

"OO", its the quick in and out North of Nelson, its only off 35 for like 5 miles.

 

Thank you Lance!

 

I vote cruise then ribs for din din

 

We could do a Fast and the furious dinner and have someone get pissed cuz the bustas here and take off doing a huge burn out, then he can come back and someone can say "I thought you weren't hungry pumpkin" lol just throwing ideas out there

 

I'm down barring any out of town stuff. I'll save the date, but out of town trips cannot really be postponed more than likely. Although I really have no idea where the hell I'd go. It's been like 2 years since I've left Coon Rapids. lol

 

This is why I posted about this so early There will be no excuses for missing because as of now you have nothing else planned
