Minneapolis -> Hastings -> Stillwater -> Minneapolis (91 miles, about 2:40) 2. Round trip Minneapolis to Hastings along each side of the river.  (78 miles, about 2:25) 3. Similar to previous, but extended to Red Wing. (124 miles, about 3:35) 4. Same as previous, but diverting onto Pierce Cty RD O in Wisconsin (nice looking road on the map). (132 miles, about 4:15) 5. Like the last one, but returning via Stillwater. (138 miles, about 4:25) If we decide to head down the river, my inclination is toward the 4th option.  Any opinions?

My reasoning is that we are fresh starting out going through the "street" traffic and later on at the end of the ride, Hwy 36 is more a straight shot to your place.

"Longest distrance travelled" award need not be created, nor first grille choice. Nope. But I have learned something. It appears you are doing a Pot Luck. That means I need to bring something. Am I correct on both Pot Luck and Bring something? 1980 Honda CX500 Custom "Blackie" 1979 Honda CX500 Deluxe "Whitie" rebuild project 1978 VW Camper ASI/Riviera Plan 1 MP (Money-Pit) 1974 VW Super Beetle FUGLY 1915cc Screamer 2000 Chevy Express Van "Great White" Tow Vehicle    Report

It is appreciated if you bring a pot of something but good luck getting it there on a bike. Last year David in Wisconsin drove in and ended up cooking cookies at Waynes place. I on the other hand just made it there leaving my place after work in the truck and arriving at Graywolf's at midnight or a bit later to unload the bike the that morning. No chance to cook anything but I would offer to pick up some chips or other from the store. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report
