Kitchen Pass, Need Fellow Riders on August 20th

[MKrone]

My fellow MN Spyder riders, my better half has a friend visiting on Saturday August 18th so I have the day available to ride somewhere. I live on Lake Minnetonka (think western Minneapolis) so I'm open to anything that gets me back by 6:00 PM that same day. Anyone want to go riding? Your pick of destinations.

I'd be happy to join you. I have a number of routes in mind.

What's your pleasure?

* Touring mode? - with feet up on pegs, cruise control on, and tunes blaring?
* Challenging twisties?
I found my new (local) favorite road in Wisconsin last weekend. County Rd's J and SS north out of Stockholm, WI towards Durand, WI. I need to go back and do it again. I suggest the war memorial park in Arcadia as a destination. And then the Welch Village road on the return.
* Scenic ryde?
-The Minnesota River valley road to Mankato is nice. Then over to New Ulm or further depending on time. Following close along the river the entire time.
-Hwy 16 between Preston, MN and Hokah, MN is curvy and scenic. But it takes over 2 hrs just to get there depending on the route.
-St. Croix/Mississippi River run from Lakeland Shores, MN to Winona, MN. Down one side and then back is pretty common. It's pretty popular with the 2-wheelers on the weekends.
-You can't go wrong with just about any road in Northern Minnesota. The loop around Mille Lacs is always a winner.

Do you have mileage limitations? How early would you like to start? There's an interesting little diner in northern Wisconsin (Delta Diner) that I like, but it takes 4 hrs just to get there.
This passes by the Jack Links headquarters and outlet store if you like Beef Jerky and don't want to go that far (only 3 hrs one way, ).

I'm sure others may have better options if they were to chime in.

Yes, I do mean Saturday the 20th. My bad for the transposition of the dates. Looking to ride on Saturday.

Kathy and I will join. Chuck has some great rides listed

[MKrone]

Sounds great Les. I imagine we might have a few others by the time the 18th comes around. I'll leave it to you and Chuck to determine route as you guys have the experience and others might chime in as well. Looking forward to it.
