[Ninja Woman]

I am a Maybe if I do not need to do anything for the bowl-a-thon prep....... and i get my chain tightened this weekend.

let me know the plans

[DavidLSI]

This is where Frzy lead us last year...

[FRZY]

Lets see, I have the day off and Cat is working. I think I'll go riding  

I'll put a ride together if someone picks a time. I think SW WI is the best spot. Plus I know where turkey rd is  

What y'all say ?

[bobwirka]

Won't be in town that Friday; anyway I'm a chicken to the cold...

The forecasted HIGH's for 11/23 are in the mid 30's. That's damned cold!!!

[mxvet57]

The forecasted HIGH's for 11/23 are in the mid 30's. That's damned cold!!!

 WOO HOO turn up the heated gear  

[mxvet57]

o.k. I'll bring a Thermos of coffee and some leftovers. mmmm Turkey, dressing, gravy, potato's, hell that's lunch.  

[RedCBRRider]

I am so in on this.  If we go to the area David suggested, we could hook up at the coffee shop in Cross Plains.  Just an idea.

You SO have the hots for Mary.    

Heck, after cooking for 10 on Thursday I'm definitely up for this. BLACK TURKEY RUN!

[RedCBRRider]

You SO have the hots for Mary.    

  And your point is?

[Breadman]

  I no worky that day.  Might be up for it.

[bluemax]

You SO have the hots for Mary.    

Forecast calls for 34 and cloudy, so Ben I'm jealous, all I've got is Gerbings.

[DavidLSI]

Made me giggle out loud....

[RedCBRRider]

Forecast calls for 34 and cloudy, so Ben I'm jealous, all I've got is Gerbings.

Now that right there is funny.  I always have to turn my Gerbings down a couple of clicks when I leave there.  

[johnnyb]

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....

[FRZY]

Ok I'll start the conversation....

Friday 11/23/07  could be Saturday?

Bring Your Own Thermas (or bacon) sure thing  

Of course weather permitting, all plans subject to change. as always

Time ?  10am
Place?   that coffee shop in Cross Plains where Mary works  
Route creation volunteer?  

Who has the day off?  

Let's create a plan........

heres what I've come up with this morning. Lets see what y'all think.

option 1
Meet at Cross Plains for coffee and ride for lunch at Fritzs on the Lake.  I have no idea if either are open, but I'll have my thermos so it really don't matter. Should be a good paved road ride.

option 2
We could meet at  http://www.tricountytrails.com/index.iml  at 10am and ride to Cross Plains for coffee after.

[FRZY]

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....

cool  

[mxvet57]

 i vote for option 2 for the gravel roads   just to piss off Ben.  

[FRZY]

 i vote for option 2 for the gravel roads   just to piss off Ben.  

It wasn't to piss off Ben, well, maybe a bit  .

It's because theres enough dual sport bikes in the group now that I thought about it.

[RedCBRRider]

It won't piss me off.  If you guys are going trail riding, I'll stay on the shelf.    There must be something else to do.  I don't know what that is, but there must be something.

[Breadman]

Projected low of 23 and high temp of 34 for Friday.  Not looking good for me, not to mention the fact that the route may consist of fewer than usual paved roads.

  Joel, are you trying to bully us into getting DP bikes 'er what?  That OTHER online forum may be influencing you more than you realize (insert razz emoticon here).

[bluemax]

It wasn't to piss off Ben, well, maybe a bit  .

It's because theres enough dual sport bikes in the group now that I thought about it.

Come on, after a few hours of riding in the mud, and the trails will be muddy, you'll show up at Mary's place looking like Larry, Darrell and Darrell. Ben's too stylish for that.  

[FRZY]

are you trying to bully us into getting DP bikes 'er what?  

nope, just trying to toss out ideas.

I've tossed out 2 so far, anyone else have ideas  

[RedCBRRider]

Here is another idea.  How about we hook up at the PDQ at the five points in Cedarburg and do the northern Kettle Moraine route that we didn't do a couple of weeks ago.

[Mark Milanowski]

Northern Kettles are now safe fore all ya'alls riding pleasure.

With the exception of a couple of nice bucks. One that Matt did not shoot because the path of the bullet would have been straight down the road with a nice farm house for a backstop. And another that stopped at the edge of the road before crossing (I think to wait for a motorcyclist to drive by).

[DrMikey]

As of now, I'm scheduled to be off the afternoon. Could meet up with you somewhere if things don't change. Three of six docs are already on vacation, so if the clinic gets inundated, I'll be working.

[Breadman]

I like that one Ben - except for the "hook up" part.

[FRZY]

I like that one Ben

you want to put a ride together and toss it out as option 3 ?

what you say ketchup head    

[Ninja Woman]

Don't thikn I'll be making this one....      

But please feel free to ride over to the Bowl-a-thon on Sunday in Des Plaines, IL.  I'll be working the event which is for my best friend of 21 years.

[jim L]

I would like to go, But I think it might be to cold for my blood....

[Breadman]

  I would hate to restrict others who have heated gear from having a SW WI adventure, but my two cents is to keep more local than that, for selfish reasons of course!  I don't think my hands could go more than 30-45 min. without a break in 25-30 degree temps. YMMV.

With option 2 what time would we get to Cross Plaines?

Are we still talking about Friday or Saturday I am up for either.  Maybe this is a weather decision?

Lets firm this up....

[Breadman]

I'm free Fri. but I have to work ALL day Sat.

 it will take 2.5 hours just for me to get to cross plains and then the planed ride. and then i have to ride home.    come on dress for the ride.

[johnnyb]

I thought we were meetin' at the PDQ in Five Corners say 10:00AM

[mxvet57]

I thought we were meetin' at the PDQ in Five Corners say 10:00AM

 i don't know, Dave says cross plains and you say 5 corners.

WE NEED A CAT HERDER

[RedCBRRider]

Let's scrap the Cross Plains plan and do the northern Kettles.  The weather may not allow any of it.  I think if we want to ride the Cross Plains area again we should do that on Sunday.  Right now it looks to be the best weather day.

What say ya'll.

Ok so it's the PDQ  in Five Corners 10:00AM

Are we still talking about Friday with Saturday as a back-up?

YES  

one change, get gas if you need at PDQ then ride up to Covered Bridge Park. Lets make that the starting point.
heres a map to get you to the park from PDQ

[Breadman]

  See, I just KNEW you guys would figure things out while I was deliverin' loaves. Thanks mucho.  

[FRZY]

[Scottyfizz]

Shit. I already garaged the FJR for the year. With varying weather,crazy shoppers/zombies/diminishing light. I say have a good time. It ain't worth it just to say you are riding. I'd love to ride but too many crazy factors.

Have at it you nuts!

you know, give a man fire and he is warm for the night.

Start a man on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life.

I am working all day friday, and saturday is my family's thanksgiving (Since I am also working today). I will be riding, though, of course.

[RedCBRRider]

Roll call.  After yesterday's weather event, who is still planning on trying to make this ride?  When will you make your decision?

[Breadman]

  I'll decide this evening after returning from Arlington Heights, Ill.  

If anyone goes out riding today, I'd appreciate a road condition report.

[johnnyb]

I'll be watching the roads as the day progresses.  Temps aren't an issue for me but would prefer snowless roads  
I'll either post up tonight (if not comatose for over indulgence of one sort or another) or in the AM

[FZ1 Matt]

I have to work Friday but I'm always up for a Saturday ride. Sunday Coffee would be fun too.

[mxvet57]

  I'll decide this evening after returning from Arlington Heights, Ill.  

If anyone goes out riding today, I'd appreciate a road condition report.

  where in Arlington heights?  i want to see your hot rod mini van  

[mxvet57]

wimp  

 let's see who shows up with the bigest Thermos of coffee. (insert coffee drinking smiley here)  

[FRZY]

I will be at the Covered Bridge Park with my big ass thermos  

If I ride any further from there will depend on the road conditions.



I have a short 50 mile ride mapped out at GroupRider.
Go check it out!

[johnnyb]

Ditto

[mxvet57]

o.k. there talking 19deg. tonight and it'll probably be around 15 in Milwaukee. so I'll make a decision in the morning.

[Breadman]

  where in Arlington heights?  i want to see your hot rod mini van  

  About 1 mile W of Arlington Heights Road and 1 block S of Rand Road.

[mxvet57]

  About 1 mile W of Arlington Heights Road and 1 block S of Rand Road.

 good the north side.   i don't have to wory about my property value.

 BTW i'm 1 mile east of arlington hts rd. 1/2 mile s. of central.

[Breadman]

  What the hell.  You only live once.  I'm in for tomorrow.  I will have double socks and quadruple pant layers on.  I would appreciate if you wouldn't tip me over or else I won't be able to get back up(like the kid in A Christmas Story).

[RedCBRRider]

I'm going to check the conditions in the morning.  If the roads are good I'll probably be there.

[RedCBRRider]

I'm wussin' out.  It's 18 degrees with a wind chill of 11.  The roads in the subdivision are covered in frost.  If you guys go, be safe and have some fun.  Sunday is looking better.  I may try to get out then.

[DavidLSI]

21 degrees currently,  33 by noon.

My coffee is brewing,its aroma filling the house.   I am making my last bit of self convincing that I should still go.
That is my report, next..

SeeYa
DavidLSI

[DavidLSI]

I failed to convince myself, so I will be staying home today.

I look forward to Sunday.

SeeYa
DavidLSI

[FRZY]

is this gathering being canceled ?

I don't want to be the only nut to show up  

post up people if your not going, please.

I plan on leaving the house at 0900 give or take if anyone else is planning on going.

[stromgal]

It's not the temp, it's my upset stomach that has me thinking I'll take it easy this morning. Sunday looks like a good forecast, perhaps Cross Plains?

[RedCBRRider]

You gotta do what you gotta do FRZY.  If I were you I'd stay home today and look for developments for Sunday.  It suppose to be in the forties, and I'm thinking about morning coffee.

[FRZY]

yeppers I always do what I gotta do.

I'm going to head up to the park even if I'm all alone  

I'll see if'n I can get out Sunday.

[johnnyb]

Well...I'm headed that way.  You and me boss  

[mxvet57]

i didn't get up till almost 8:00 and with the temps (24) and riding 2 hours to get there I'm not going to try it. i however will get out later today for a short ride.

as far as coffee sunday, is it going to be cross plains or something closer? (us FIBS have a longer ride )

now to go get another cup of coffee.

[FRZY]

I'm back from the run. Not much of a run but a few of us did brave the cold and went. I'll post pictures a bit later.

As for Sunday, I say we go to LeGrange. More details to follow. Right now I have a bunch of stuff to do.

[mxvet57]

lagrange sounds good to me.  

the bike is siting in the heated garage awaiting some maintenance. front brake pads and the tail trunk update.

out in the yard cleaning up more leafs and cutting the grass for the last time.

[FRZY]

The meeting spot




here I am, all alone. Am I nuts


nope, here comes another

and another

and yet another. How cool is this  


the group all together

anyone for frozen coffee  


now for a stop here. Wheres the Lurker

[stromgal]

Joel, I didn't know you and Art Kumbalek were related!  

[bluemax]

I'm home, and a couple of hours after 'the ride' it's still only 28 and sunny. And I have to admit it was fun just hanging, telling stories and watching our coffee freeze.  

[FZ1 Matt]

Joel, I didn't know you and Art Kumbalek were related!  

Ok ya got me. I googled Art Kumbalek.  



And here's a link where he uses Stromgal's favorite vocabulary word - 'knobshine'

  Yeah, I saw that.  Too bad I'm not dedicated enough to ride that far in the dark and cold.  Besides, I'll be out over the North Atlantic heading for Europe while you guys have your coffee.

Spring will be here before you know it.

Have fun.

[FZ1 Matt]

Roger, name an airport in SE WI that you fly to and we'll meet for coffee there some time Heck, even if it's a weekday or evening -- let us know. If you're ever in the area I'll buy ya dinner man!

[Jetpilot5]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.  It wouldn't be in one of the company airplanes, though I do get in to Waukesha once in a while, but a guy I work with has a Cessna 195 and is usually looking for a place to go just to burn some gas.

If I can work it out, I'll be sure to let you know.
