Friday looks like it's gonna be a great day for a ride!

Highs in the mid 50s, low chance of liquid sunshine . . . . . this could be good!

M'kay -- here's what I'm thinkin . . .

Friday, 10 am, Red Door Cafe, south side of the square in East Troy . . .

http://www.reddoorcafe.net/


grab a cuppa something warm, then go diddybop through the lower kettle and, p'raps, pay our respects to Holy Hill . ..  .

I'm not in love with this plan, but it's likely what I'll do lacking a better suggestion . . . . . ..

Sounds like a splendid plan.  I think I may be able to do this, provided that I don't get derailed by some sort of negative karma that I am currntly unaware of.  How's that for a committment?

So Bomber - you're plan is Red Door at 10am, which is what, an hour and a half from home (for me) then a couple hours of riding before heading home? Trying to see if this is feasible...

Headscratch I thought you just had a flat. Was it something more serious? I may just make this ride. My son is home from school so I'll see if he is up for a ride too.

It was just a flat but then I had to ride it aways to get it out of traffic. I think the wheel is OK but not sure. Then the trailer had one of those vise like wheel chocks that you tighten on the wheel. But they mounted two more chocks, one one each side of the center one. The right chock blocked the crank so we couldn't tighten the chock on the wheel. The bike shifted in transit and we had to resecure it. The front roters look OK but those are being checked too.

I will certainly lead, for a while.  I can keep you turkeys entertained for 45-60 minutes of riding around there.  

I can hang out until 12 or 12:30PM, so the time constraint may confine me to parts S of I 94.  Let's get out there and have some fun!

  Sorry, Mark!

  We waited almost 20 minutes, and had no idea you might show.  

  Ben was wishing for a hot cup, and a ride was in order to get us to one.  I led a group of seven on a Kettles ride that terminated at Milwaukee Street Traders in Delafield.

  I followed bomber part of the way home, and we tore it up for 20 miles or so.

  Good turnout, and nice weather.  Thanks, all!
