btw, is someone bringing a map? Last time I did this, we got lost. It ended up being an 8 hour day and a trip to the doghouse.
Oh yeah I'm thinking it will be close to 6 or so hours. You figure the portion of the cruise just down from Hastings to Wabasha and over on 60 through the twistees and back to the cities will take just shy of 3 hrs by itself. If you figure in the WI side and then lunch somewhere I figure you can add another 3 hours to the trip. All said and done it will probably take you all around 6 hours. If you guys do it in less than 4 or 5 yrs you will need to be cooking pretty fast. You guys will have fun though. Post of some good pics.

Nah it wont be 7 hours, we stopped way too many times on the last cruise that why it took so long. Google maps uses the speed limit to calculate, so we should be done a lot sooner since most of the speed limit is 30-40mph.

We can always end the cruise if it get too long.

Ill print up a map and do dirrections. Ill also bring some walkie talkies.

Heres my number incase anybody is running late: 7six3 two2nine 7threeone7

I'm getting ready to leave. I'll bring my camera as usual, a couple of radios, and my cooler full of snacks and drinks.

I couldn't adjust the rear sway bar.

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear about the ticket man. Nothing ruins a good day quicker than a speeding ticket. I've always wondered if at some point we may need to stop posting our routes online in the event that the police start to get smart and start checking car club websites. Not saying this has anything to do with the speeding ticket this weekend.Would that just be the craps though to come around a corner doing XXX and get tagged by a group of squads. I know that is how they got information and videos from the big car bust in St. Paul a few years ago. Maybe we should start using pm to send out route info. Maybe I am paranoid too. Who knows!

You're being paranoid, Ben. Maybe you should also hide your wives....lol

I think the cops have more important things to worry about. Everyone goes on a cruise, you know that. We saw so many bikes, cars, etc out for a drive. Most everyone was legally driving.

Besides, our route wasn't set in stone and we ended up changing it.

I suppose so. It is not like law enforcement folks are the brightest bulbs on the tree if you know what I mean.
