I never made any of my kids softball or soccer games. Missed every dance and band recital. All the cost of doing my job. And my kids hate me just as much as their mother who made it to all that crap. So I say....... father of the year is over-rated. Get your arse out to the rally!!

Price is $1500 split between how many people we have. I haven't gotten the invoice yet, which is surprising. I'll email Ruth.

Adding another to the list. Another buddy from work, Mike, who rides a Thunderbird Sport and a Daytona. That puts us at 15. It looks like that will end up being the final number, unless I hear otherwise, so that makes it an even $100 per person for the weekend. We will have run of the entire lodge again this year. Still waiting on the invoice from Ruth, but if you guys want to start sending me money via paypal that would be great. Please send it as a gift so I don't get stuck with the fees. PayPal address is scottcripps@yahoo.comLess than a month away! 1. KaiserSoze 2. Mag10 +1 3. Mike57 +1 4. ArGee +1 5. sbs287 6. Fasteddy 7. Martyn 8. ladisney 9. Funkletrumpet 10. Rick (Buell guy) 11. Jacob Wilson (bigjack's son) 12. Mike (old fart, lol)

for all those riding out from Lodi to Westby it looks like Wild Cat mountain is off the route due to road destruction. it still will be a nice ride thru the hills from Devils lake if we take hwy 33 to 82 (just west of Hillsboro) and then over to 27.
sound okay to you Barry? And where are we to meet up with you in Lodi?

I have an alternate route all planned out. That area is like my backyard. No worries!! There is a Kwik Trip smack dab in the middle of Lodi. If you want to meet there, it will only be about a 5 minute ride to our lunch stop.

Actually........ 33 through Wildcat will be open. I just checked the DOT map. The closure is From Ontario west to Cashton. My Original route should still work!!

Barry, Micah, are you guys opposed to meeting up in mt horeb or somewhere? I'm thinking of taking a different route with the Chicago contingent, and meeting up with you guys at lunch. What are your thoughts? What is a good time to meet up?

mt horeb is kind of out of the way for me as it is on the wrong side of Madison plus the wrong direction (and Madison traffic is really bad)
on the other hand mt horeb might work okay mike57 as they would be coming from the south.
as you would have to go north from Mt Horeb anyway we could meet up in Sauk city again and then pick up Barry's route from there out to westby. that would cut out the back tracking. Mt Horeb to Sauk city is 20 miles straight up SR 78 (which a pretty good road, not really straight at all) I could be in Sauk City by 1230 or earlier if need be.
or am I mis-reading this and you want us to meet you in Mt Horeb for lunch?

Yeah, I was going to lead a group out of Chicago and meet up with you guys in Mt. Horeb or somewhere, but I found out last night that most of the Chicago guys are coming on Friday. So right now I'm still planning to head north and meet up with you at your house. Rick will be with me, and we can meet up with Rich in Lake Geneva.

Ok, who is going to order up the nice weather next week? Better put Eddy on it, he always delivers. 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

The latest forecast for the area will give our rain gear quite a workout....  Rain and thunderstorms every day. Hope it is wrong..... Micah. What time do you want to meet up in Lodi on Thursday?

lets shoot for 1230.
I would like to leave from my place at 1100. Assuming that is viable for those riding up from the south.

Scott, I have to drop my dog off at the kennel at 9am (when they open). I can be out at Lake Geneva around 9:45-ish. Do you want to meet at the same Gas Station we did last year? Rich
BTW, Congrats on the Tiger, pics look great...

Latest AccuBarry Rally forecast for the Greater Westby Metropolitan area is as follows:
Thursday: It will be partly to mostly cloudy. High temps will be in the upper 70's. Winds will be from the SE at 10-15 mph. There will be showers building off to the west and southwest so the Iowa boys may get an en-route bike wash in the late afternoon.
Friday: The day will start off cloudy but as a warmer and more humid air mass moves in from the southwest, wide-spread showers will develop across the area. We can expect some thunderstorms by the afternoon. High temps will be around 83 with winds out of the SSE at 10-20 mph.
Saturday: It will start off cloudy but the skies should clear a bit by afternoon. Temps will be in the mid-80's and it will be a bit more breezy with winds still out of the SSE at 15-25 mph. There will also be some scattered thunderstorms in the area.
Sunday: Looks like it will be a lot like Saturday. Breezy, warm, humid and a chance for more thunderstorms. Those chances will increase towards the evening so no dilly dallying on the way home, kids.
And that is your forecast. Keep that raingear handy. But remember this most of all........... I'm NOT a meteorologist. So if I'm wrong, oh well. That's what you get for trusting me. But if it is right, it is obviously because of my extreme awesomeness.
