Bad news... work got in the way for my buddy John. Don't worry, you'll still have to put up with Fedspaz (and see why they call me Spaz).
I should be coming in later afternoon (hopefully before dinner time) and be able to meet up with everyone... anybody know where they are going to be? Should I send me cell number to Alain so you can let me know? I'm assuming he'll have his new phone figured out by then.
I'll be leaving IA Wed afternoon (after I drop my daughter off with my parents... we meet at the 1/2 way point in Jackson, MN)... I'm hoping to be on the road by 1:30ish... then hopefully make it to Urbana, IL before hanging it up for the nite. Up early with only about 600 miles to go. Can't wait to meet everyone. My wife asked me which bike I was going to take... because I usully take the CBR when I do Long Distance riding by myself... but I have to ride the "T". Little slower going because of the short range with that small tank.
Am I rambling, I'm rambling.
Anyway... Alain, I'm going to email you my cell number, so you can let me know where people are meeting up on Thurs nite.
Thanks!

Keep your knees in the breeze!
