    Re: Chicagoland XX ride

    I'm up here in the middle of Wisconsin...but if the timing is right I'd be happy to come down to the SW area of our Great State. There are some awesome roads over there to feel the G's and put the tourqe down!
    How does this work as far as setting a date, notifying all interested etc?

    Re: Chicagoland XX ride

    well i know there are some XX's down here that are interested in some riding. I guess an easy way to do this would to have people start listing on some dates that would work for them, and then set up a meeting place for chicagoland, Mid WI, and a southern WI. Then someone in Southern WI would have to recomend a good meeting place, route, and destination in South WI.

    So i guess we need people to throw some dates out there.
    then someone in S. WI to be our guide.

    Re: Chicagoland XX ride

    Wario & I were talking about putting together a Loop of the Lake awhile back. (Lake Michigan)

    I keep thinking it would be cool if people could hop on/join in as the procession came by them (i.e....Hoosiers/Ohio/Michiganders hop on in the beginning, Minnesota/Wisconsin/Illinois people join up as we come around, we drop off in Ohio/MI, & they keep looping around 'til they get back home).

    This way everyone could get together for at least part of a ride/day. I'm sure there'd be some visiting/comaraderie time during the gas/food stops along the way

    Anyone interested in something like that? Weekends I know I CAN'T do it: Mother's Day weekend, weekend of May 25th (son's b-day). I AM on vacation week of June 11th. War, Sam, Spicoly, Joel, a few others & I have been talking about doing something the Friday/Saturday of June 15th, 16th, but haven't decided on a destination/theme yet. Perhaps this is it. Or the weekend before would probably also be open, June 10-11th, without Father's Day interfering

    Not sure about the logistics/mileage of the whole thing. Doesn't look like a daytrip to me as I peruse the map. Anyone done it before? Gotta play around with one of the mapping softwares I guess

    Re: Chicagoland XX ride

    keep us posted, I would def. try to ride along for a bit.
    It's not the speed that kills, it's the sudden stop at the end.
    If it's not black it's not a blackbird, and your just one X short of a good movie!

    Re: Chicagoland XX ride

    I'm interested. I'm just north of Chicago, and have typical kids and family commitments. Probably couldn't get a long ride in before late June/early July - have been away three weekends out of the last four, so my credits are a little thin. Keep posting.
