I had to make a call and it's not looking good for riding after Saturday. All the net sites and local stuff is calling for rain/snow on Sunday and Monday. I still want to ride one more time in 06, so I'm changing this from a New Years Day ride to a M.A.C.K. meet  

If you can come on out and play

I have plans for my plans and then there's always the back up plan

[OMOC]

If the weather cooperates, I'll be on 2 wheels.  If not, I'll be on 4 wheels.

[Stargzrgrl]

Put me down as an "I think I'll be there!"  

[dnlwthrn]

Put me down as "I think I wanna be there, but my wife will call me insane!"  If the weather is like the last two years, I'm going to attempt to make it.

Any other 'burbians want to pick a meet-up point for our trip?

[FRZY]

very cool y'all  

I was out Monday and the roads are in good shape. I'll do it again after the rain there predicting passes.

looks like we could have a good turn out  

[JimWilliamson]

I'll really like those pics from the last coffee meet ride. I'm going to have to get something set up for doing that.

[FRZY]

 BUMP  

[mxvet57]

here's something to think about, was watching the weather tonight and now there talking (i know it's still a week away) snow for new years day.  

 just thought I'd throw that out there.


  oh by the way joel,  put me down for a definite maybe

[Thunder7]

I'm shooting an event NYE so I'll be sleeping.

This could turn into a New Years eve day coffee meet ride then. You know I have a back up plan.

I'll be updating the thread later this week if the weather forecast is calling for snow on the 1st. I'm still hoping to get the ride in, but it is winter.

[coopdway]

 I'm still hoping to get the ride in, but it is winter.

I'm not always sure that you guys remember which season it is, but your optimism is infectious and for that I thank you.

[FRZY]

I enjoy riding in the winter as much as any other 3 season.  

 

[DavidLSI]

I enjoy riding in the winter as much as any other 3 season.  

 

You should just end that sentence with the first three words.  They sum it all up no matter the season...

SeeYa

[FRZY]

bump

[johnnyb]

Alrighty then.  Looks like I'll be doing the final MACK meet of '06 then we'll see what it's like on NYD for the Milvinmoto ride.
Cheers

[RedCBRRider]

Well OK.  If the weather is cooperating I'll go.

[FRZY]

I had to make the call, I didn't want to have then open for us and then no one show. Also the other places I called on were not going to be open NYD either. So it just seemed like the right time to change plans.

Now watch and see the forecast will be all wrong. It will be 50 and sunny and I called off the ride  

[Brightrider]

Prudent call for Saturday...and if Monday is nice, we can always ride again!  Will be there Saturday.

[Mark Milanowski]

This could be fun!  
Lots of coffee lots of "rest" stops for us bladder challenged guys.

[bluemax]

And one.

[JoeRider]

Tempting.

I havent been there since , what was it last Feb?

I just re-registered for this new site NICE.

[OMOC]

I may not be up in time for the Alterra coffee stop, but I'll be at Kletsch Perk for sure.

[mxvet57]

I'm going to try to get to alterra coffee. but will be at kletsch perk for shure.

[xsPain]

We should be at Kletch Perk. Alterra will probably be too early for me (I am done work at 6am, will want a nap). No idea what our plans are after that, will have to see how much fun H is having.

[xsPain]

Just a little weather update for all y'all. Milwaukee (At least the east part of it) is covered in heavy fog. Most of WI is under a dense fog advisory until 9am, and even then I would expect the lake front (Where alterra is) to bee pretty foggy. Roads are wet now, but I expect they will imporve quickly once the sun is up.

Be careful, so I can see you at Kletch Perk, k?

[03K12RS]

Update on Weather (XSPain's last post) I'll be at Altera on the Lake
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=53211#FOG
Statement as of 3:49 AM CST on December 30, 2006

... Dense fog advisory now in effect until noon CST today...

Widespread dense fog across southeast and parts of south central
Wisconsin will continue to reduce visibility to 1/4 mile or less
this morning. Conditions are expected to improve by noon as
easterly winds increase and begin to scour out the fog.

In addition... early this morning... temperatures in some areas were
at or just below freezing and this was causing a layer of frost to
form on some less traveled roads... leading to slippery
conditions. Motorists are urged to be careful early this morning.

A dense fog advisory is issued when dense fog frequently reduces
visibilities to 1/4 mile or less. If driving... slow down... use
your low beam headlights... and leave plenty of distance between
you and objects ahead.

[FRZY]

sure go ahead and scare people away from this event    

just kidding,

do be careful out there. it's not to foggy by my house and I'm just around the corner from Kletzsch Perk.

[03K12RS]

I'm about 2 miles from Altera on the lake, 1 mile from lake and fog has lifted here, have to run a quick errand before heading out, visibility good!

Recon complete, sun is poking through and fog dissipating, looks like a great day!

[Sparky]

Foggy and wet roads here in Union Grove. Leaving for Kletsch about 9am.

[Sparky]

Here's my pics...  

[FRZY]

Glad to see so many come out today

heres to the folks at Kletzsch Perk    home of the coffee meet. See y'all again in January to kick off the 2007 coffee meet season

[03K12RS]

FRZY (at least you got a couple of picts in for today before the camera died) - Nice photos!
Sparky (I'm surprised you didn't get a picture of the one hump camel, damn!) - Nice photos!
Mine will look like dupes of some of Sparky's (I apologize and will attach named locations later).
Thanks to all who attended, I had a good time (hope you did too) and glad to meet all!
Photos I took: http://homepage.mac.com/callanje/PhotoAlbum18.html  
Looking forward to other pictures taken, have to do something to unwind from all that coffee

[FRZY]

a bit off topic here, but there was some talk about this today http://workingperson.com/products/76_243/1/2722/Blauer_Jackets:_Reflective_Rain_Jacket_26950-1.html

I'll be getting me one, because my vest is, as you say, dull

[RedCBRRider]

That was a fantastic day of riding to close out the 2006 season.  Good stuff for December 30th.  I'll try to post up some pics when I get some more time.  Thanks to all who were there, and especially  FRZY for leading the ride.  Way cool.

Heh.  Yeah. I had asked brighrider about that jacket back around Thanksgiving when I met him and chatted with him for a bit.  Certainly visible.

Anyways, found it a little cheaper here (~$25.00 less):

[johnnyb]

A few of my pics...












 

[bluemax]

We all know of John's photographic skills, and it's my contention he doctored the color of his hat. So to get a true representation of the ride and the hat I thought I'd return the hat to it's original 'pink'.  
Not many guys can wear a pink hat.

[FZ1 Matt]

here ya go

[JimWilliamson]

So I check in today to see about the ride for tomorrow only to see that it's already done for. I snoozed. My loss. Thanks for the pix!

[mxvet57]

here ya go

  hey girls, not all men can wear pink and still look cool. but in john's case, we gave him sh#t all day about it.
