Another Motley IL/WI ride end's well? at lest for me.Igot home about 9:30 tonight the rest of the crew hasn't checked in yet, they stillhad a good 3 hour ride left after leaving me off, hope all went well. Great people, great roads, and great food no better wayto spend a day then like that.
I think that may have been the best ride of the year. Definately the longest; 18.5 hrs, 470 miles and three States. Pictures in the morning when I get around to it.
Funny how that worked out almost exactly from the different starting points....My numbers: 18.5 hoursand 462 miles

You know what they say (The Shortest and Fastest route between two points is a straight line but its not necessarily the most entertaining)

Hey all!
Sorry I didn't check in last night. We got home a little after 01:00. Darcy is still sleeping and I'm not going to the Toys for Tots ride today. Go figure!
That was definately and one EPIC RIDE!! Fantastic food and and great scenery. It is a must do again...maybe even split it into 2 rides with different destinations? Or an overnighter?

Darcy was a trooper all the way home. Her Mom was not too enthusiatic about our ending time, but understanding. Andall in all,Darcy would have beenin great hands if anything happened. This group is great bunch of people!

JB, Thanks for theBEST ride of the season.can't wait to do that one again when the weather is warmer. We put on 521 miles in a 20 hour day, we didn't get home until 1:45 in the mourning. msh134, We filled up more times than we had to so we wern't pushing it, we wish you could have stayed with us to rub it in. It's hard to belive that x-train has a 6 gallon tank and still almost ran out of gas. msh134, my wife wants to know the name of the place where you got your chaps. We are going to get a gel seat before next season. We still can't feel our @sses fron being numb. Thanks to everyone who joined us, wish the rest of our group could have been with us. We will see you all next season, unless the weather stays warm, you never know. We don't put our bike away for the winter, if it gets above 40 I will still ride. Will post some pics later this afternoon. Thanks again JB for a great ride.
