I'll be going along for the rides this year but will not be spending the nights at the Mill. And I am also really sick of winter.

I was thinking about routes for this year. Since it will be the last out of Westby, I really think we should circumnavigate lake Pepin. Its a good show case of the upper Mississippi and we should be able to do it all on secondary roads. (I think the group would want to stay off the 4 lane part of HWY 61 as it is boring)
WE should be able to cross a couple bridges, stop at some scenic over looks and lunch at a good brewpub. And maybe work in Mindoro Cut as well. And perhaps SR 162 and CR II will finally be open.
and I agree Mitch, this winter sucks!

Would any of you guys be interested in a rally pin? Cost would be $10. I was thinking of having some made up for the rally, but I want to see if there's interest first. Let me know what you think.

Hahaha. I tried 1" first, but it would be really hard to see the design, I thought it might be too small. Plus, I need a new hood ornament!

That's a GREAT design, Scott! It doesn't have a year on it, though. If it didn't, I might buy one anyway! (I won't be making it this year) and 1 and a half inches is good. I get tired of seeing little bitty pins that ya can't make head's or tails of. Don't change ANYTHING!

Ooooooh, now THAT hurt! But that's why I pointed out there was no date on it. I've been to TWO earlier rallys. Maybe you don't remember me though. Ever get kind of a "haze" on some of these get togethers?!

Rich I think you're grandfathered in. If memory serves correct you were at the inaugural Midwest rally which kind of makes you a charter member right?

I'm all for that. Want to meet up for lunch by Lodi and take the ferry across? Then it is a quick hop to Devils Lake and beyond. There's a nice little place before the ferry called "Fitz's on the Lake" that serves good food.

sounds like a plan to me. Lodi is a good gas stop as well.

Perhaps Karl can pick up Larry on the way up, and then me after that?
