Now that winter is almost over in Wisconsin and Minnesota, I thought I'd try to beat Gramps to the punch and post the first ride of the year.
I'm planning to meet up with an old high school buddy from Milwaukee for the spring Slimey Crud Run on May 2nd and was hoping some of you would want to came along. We purchased 10 tickets for the sold out world premier of "American Cafe" at the Sundance Theater in Madison. Check it out at https://2soc.net/americancafe/. The movie starts at 4pm, so that unfortunately necessitates an early start on Saturday, May 1st. Here's what I propose.
A 7am start at the Machine Shed restaurant in Woodbury (technically Lale Elmo). Ride 61 south and cross into Wisconsin at Prescott. Ride Hwy 10 to 93 which turns into 35 in Centerville, continue on 54 and Cty VV, Hwy 108 and 16 to Sparta and a meeting place to be determined.
In Sparta we'll meet up with the Milwaukee contingent (my friend, a couple of his friends, and maybe some folks from his Ducati club) somewhere between 11:00-11:30am. This would also be a great spot to meet up with any Western WI folks who would like to come along.
The ride will continue south on 71 to Wilton where we will take 131 south through Wildcat Mountain State Park. Continue on 131 to 33 and Cty V to Q to G all the way to Spring Green where we pick up Hwy 14.
At this point the route really depends on how we are doing for time as we need to make the movie in Madison at 4pm. If time allows, we'll take Cty P down to Verona, WI and check into the Holiday Inn Express. Otherwise we'll take 14 straight into Madison and check out the scene at the movie premiere.
Of the 10 movie tickets we purchased, 4 are already spoken for, so the first 6 people who are interested get the remaining tickets. You'll owe me $8 per ticket.
Sunday is the Slimey Crud Run. It's my first time so I don't really know if it's practical to hang together. I have no plans to offer, but it might be fun to park a few feejer's together to see if they get much of a look.
Likewise, I don't have any plans for the return trip. If it gets late, or I'm tired, or the weather is bad, I could just blast home on 94. I'm sure that could be discussed over a beer on Saturday night.
