Sounds like something I could do.  I'll be watching for future developments.

[mxvet57]

this could be doable.

always looking for a reason to ride s/w chedderland.

like Ben, will watch for developments.

[Condor]

This may be a little too close to the National BUT I think it's doable.

[Bandman]

Excellent!

I'll be adding more details soon.

Maybe, I'll know by MDW whether or not I can make it.

Nice!

It would be good to continue some of the discussion I recall from a meeting at a certain "chain" coffee shop

Very cool, although we covered so many things you'd have to remind me which one!

For the summer solstice, I will be where the sun never sets.

And I'll add the obligatory comment regarding something about where the sun DON'T shine!

Got a block of rooms on hold at the Voyager.

See first post.

CRAP. I just realized that I cant do it. I help out at MCC every year when the Triumph Demo Truck is there for the big demo weekend.

Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap.

Given the Soltice orientation of this gathering, will there be dancing around an oak tree with our faces painted blue?

Awesome.

Well, I'm going to go ahead &  commit to this one. Every time I pussyfoot around, the date creeps up, then something else comes up and I forget about it. I'll see if Kate will come with me; it looks to be a good time. I just put in for the vacation day at work.

I like these rides that involve lots of twisty WI roads. You did a good job on the last ride. One suggestion for this one. Yourself and the sweep rider should wear reflective, fluorescent yellow vests. It will keep those people visible to cagers and it will help you keep track of who the last rider is, so no one is left behind.

Northern IL riders: I'd be willing to lead I ride up there on twisty roads from my place at 10:30 AM that Friday morning. My place: 1248 N. Red Oak Cir., 60073. That should give IL folks the opportunity to leave just after rush hour to get to my place. Kickstands up at 10:45. I'll do the route if there is interest.

Does this mean you will be heading up the entertainment committee?

Cool!

We learned a few things from our LARGE run last month.  There will be a slightly different protocol for the Solstice Ride.  I have been eyeing up a flourescent Olympia vest too.
