  • Lost in Minnesota Rally 2011

    “Who cut the Cheese…….................Curds”

    Mark your calendars for a rally once again in Winona, Minnesota August 5th – 7th.
    Meet and greet with a barbeque Friday evening, ride Saturday, possible short ride on Sunday.

    With the assistance of DragonTamer and MindWebs we are making the Saturday ride almost exclusively in Wisconsin. The route will take us north to the headquarters of Yellowstone Cheese Factory near Cadott, Wisconsin for a chance to purchase some of the famous Yellowstone Cheese Curds, then back south through the bluff country along the Mississippi River.
    Exact route is still in the planning stages.

                I've got a few things going this summer, but i hope to make it.
                works been hecktick and shorthanded.

                i passed on my 2 cent on routing, if you use it i hope everyone has crashbars. it's a tail twister, and it will give these bikes a full workout.

                Happy trails

                          Just so you know what kind of scenery and such Cruiser has in line for you, here a couple of short videos I pulled out of some stretchs of the planned route.

                          Quality is not the best but it will give you an idea.

                          In the first video you will see a shiny spot in the trees just above the guard rail in the first curve. That is actually a convex mirror in a tree so that you can see what is coming at you around the curve. The video does not show it well but you are going DOWNhill through this whole segment.



                          In this one during the first third of the video you are going UPhill much more that it seem, the last third is DOWN.



                          Oh, and rain? It did not rain last year Greg. Remember, I drew a circle around the area in the Droid weather app and clicked on the "no rain" button. That was just a bit of heavy dew that messed up the perm in your mustache!

                            So it was the dew that did in the do in the circle you drew.

                            Gotcha! ...sounds like Dr. Seuss' nightmare.
