05-07-2010, 7:51 AM SiriusBlackOp Joined on 06-15-2009 Hudson, WI Posts 445 Re: 3rd Annual Twin Cities Spring Ride - Final Route Excellent!   At first I was wondering why you didn't want to cross into WI at Hudson and go North on 35 to cross back into MN at Stillwater. Prettier ride that way then up 95, but then we would have to contend with 30 bikes getting through 4 stoplights in Hudson and N. Hudson.  So I understand if you want to keep to 95.  95 does have a couple of nice views of the river there too. I'm excited!  Hope the weather is great! By the way, my wife is excited too. She's going to be riding on the back. Seriously though, what can we bring to the potluck?  Salads, buns, chips, meat for the grill? 1981 Honda GL500    Report

05-07-2010, 8:27 AM SiriusBlackOp Joined on 06-15-2009 Hudson, WI Posts 445 Re: 3rd Annual Twin Cities Spring Ride - Final Route Oh... I didn't notice it was 21. 21 south of 94 looks nice... never ridden/driven it.  I drive 21 north of 94 quite often on my way to work and that's pretty straight though too.  95 on that small stretch between Lakeland and Stillwater is way nicer than 21 because you ride along the St. Croix river which is quite a view.  Just my 2 cents. You already have the plan set though.  I don't want you to have to change it.  Getting from 95 back to your course on 21 on the norrth side of bayport is easy for a group... getting onto 95 in the vicinity of I-94 would be a little bit more of a trick for 30 bikes because of the stop sign. 1981 Honda GL500    Report

05-07-2010, 8:40 AM SiriusBlackOp Joined on 06-15-2009 Hudson, WI Posts 445 Re: 3rd Annual Twin Cities Spring Ride - Final Route Also, just so you know. There is a stop sign on Stagecoach Trail N where it meets 56th St N in Bayport.  Because 56th St N is the only way to get from Hwy-95 North to  Hwy-36 W, there is no stop sign for 56th Street turning right onto stagecoach... but they make stagecoach traffic stop and wait for an opening to proceed straight. If you go 95N to 56th St to Stagecoach to 59th St to Beach Rd to 36W... not a single stop sign on that route. 1981 Honda GL500    Report

I do have to ask though, why get off of Hwy 36 at Century ave to go to 17th?? Why not stay on 36 to Hwy 61....that intersection is a cloverleaf/interchange. No stoplight. We could go North on 61 to Kline Motorsports. It is 12:45 AM as I type this. And it is SNOWING!!!! Better to get it out of the system now instead of on the 22nd.......

I'm not sure why I did that.  I guess I just wanted to get of the highway sooner, rather than later, and 17th is a straight shot to the venue.  It does have the advantage of being a right turn onto Kline's service road, but I've got nothing against getting off at 61.

A 12-pack of soda should fit in a saddlebag, or even strap onto a seat.  It'll have 5 hours to settle down before we need to open it.  Chips and such travel OK, too, if they're in something sturdy. I can also put a jar out.  That's a good idea.  The naked bike riders can help me buy meat. R '78 CX500 - Black Maggot --> Green Grub / Yellow Grub / Red Grub ???    Report

Actually, Wayne, I've invited a couple friends who ride other models, and I don't like to turn anyone away.  Who knows, maybe we'll win a couple converts. I've already arranged to use the next door neighbor's driveway, so I've got about six cars worth of parking space.  I think we'll fit all the bikes in there, if we're careful.

Although this weekends forecast looks pretty good. don,is 27c and sunny not warm enough for melody,iv done 27c,37c.and last year 57c for me 27c is the best I think it was last years starting out at about 17c and then dropping off to 50-55. I can't quite remember. It was sunny when we started and not so much when we got into it. That was also before I had a heated vest. I was wearing a t-shirt, thermal shirt, long sleeve sweatshirt, hooded sweatshirt and jacket along with thermal pants. I wasn't exactly cold but I wasn't comfortable. Worst part was the feet. Plus she had a half helmet. unlike my fullface. If it would have stayed at 65 degrees nobody would have cared. This time I'm bringing my heated vest but I probably won't even have to get it out.  But this time I'm not worrying about 1 day and 200 miles I have 3 days to look out for and I don't really trust the weather. Oh and if I'm right the same weekend this year was the weekend it snowed. Glad we pushed it a few weeks.  1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier.
