Walt Ride 2010 is shaping up

We have a schedule hammered out and it will be a good one: antique motorcycle racing; scenic Wisconsin back roads through the scary forests; the northshore of Minnesota and whatever twisty roads we can find. Hats off to Mark for doing 450 miles of "research" yesterday on routes. Here is the schedule as it stands now:

Friday, June 11 - depart for Mark's in Fond Du Lac. Arrive
approximately 5 p.m. Those arriving at Mark's are on their own for din-
din since he'll be getting in from foreign destination at 3 p.m. Bring
Pokeman cards for the kid as bribery.

Saturday, June 12 - Antique bike races at Road America (half hour from
Mark's house)

Sunday, June 13 - Depart FDL for Manitowish Waters, taking a northwesterly scenic route that is approximately 271 miles. Arrive, eat and swill beer.

interesting back roads that are available. (and stay at Brett's house,
