WI,MN,IA,IL Ride
Ok....
I've already contacted a few from each state to get some ideas but this is the plan. If a date can be agreed upon.
Wisconsin and Minnesota riders would meet in La Crosse, WI.
Iowa and Illinois riders would meet in Dubuque, IA.
Now each "group" can figure out their own details, but the original idea was for everyone to then meet in Praire Du Chien, WI. About a 1+ hour ride.
If we want a longer ride, IA & IL could meet in Davenport and we all meet in Dubuque. About 2+ hours.
My route plan was just to hug the Mississippi the whole way but am open to other roads.
So, what needs to be figured out is a date, (Sept 16,17,18) ?
If we want this to be a one or two day deal. Maybe the groups meet in their start city and ride and hang. Then make the run to the end city(?) on day two and ride and hang. ( my personal preference )
I am posting this in all four state forums and the main page.
Bring on the feedback

I will check the dates!
At first glance, that looks good to me, but I'll have to check into it further... I PM'd Jedd, Big Arm, Wolfee, Mowerman and McGone (I don't know all the Iowa Ryders yet, sorry if I missed you) to check their availability.
This could be a fun Fall ride! Thanks for spearheading it John!

Basically anything that is along the river would be great in the early fall. I am having difficulty working out all the components to this that would include as many riders for as long as possible. i will say that there are ways to go on both side of the river from Minneapolis to the Quad Cities. Lots of great stops and spots like.....
In Minnesota-Winona, Lake City, Redwing
In Wisconsin-La Crosse, Prarie Du Chien, Alma, Elsworth
In Iowa- New Albin, Dubuque, Davenport
you guys can obviuosly fill in more places.
Perhaps one meeting spot like Prarie Du Chien for everyone and then up one side of the river and down the other. That way if you can only join for part, we would be in the area for at least some of the time. Likewise if the group was closer to your home part way through the ride and you needed to peel off, you could.
There are a lot of logistics to work out trying to work 4 states into this trying to give eveyone a piece of it. Perhaps a longer ride like north from Prarie to Lake City, then south to La Crosse, the next day to Quad Cities, and back to Prarie, then stay or go if you want.
Just a few ideas.
