Weekend Event: Sunday Bike Ride (part 2)

La Grange General Store in Wisconsin

Holy Crap! If the weather cooperates, I just might be able to ride this Sunday. Is this an event? Well, not really. Here is the way it works.

As some of you know, I mostly ride with the great people from Sport-Touring.Net. It is a motorcycle forum with a section for us mid-westerners.

A rider posts up for a meet and ride. This usually comes in the question of, "who wants to meet for coffee at such and such a place?" If you can make it, great. If not, there will be plenty more.

We usually meet around 10AM. Stand around, kick tires and flap our gums. Then when someone gets bored, they suggest a ride to some unknown location. I am not really doing these meets any justice but you have to experience to get the feel for one.

This Sunday, it was suggested to meet at Full Moon at 176 and 41 at 10:00. Sounds like the plan is breakfast then head to LaGrange Wisconsin for ice cream at the General Store. (yeah, we are a tough BIG bunch).

From La Grange, you can catch the scenic Kettle Moraines scenic route. A very popular area for us riders due to the twisty roads.

We welcome all kind of riders but encourage you to ride at your own pace. For the record, we do not ride in any Harley parade formations. Just get out and ride. Visit the website or contact me for any questions. As you can tell, this is an informal event.
