    Default Saturday Ride

    Saturday is likely the only day that I am going to be able to get out this weekend. The tentative plan right now is to meet at the Freight House at 11:30.

    What are the current conditions on the Enchanted stomp route? Guessing the QC has more snow than Bloomington. I just bought Lori a Mukluk and would love to come over to relive the ride now that she has the fatty. We'd probably come over on Saturday but possibly Sunday as well. I'm going to try to get some Bloomington/Peoria peeps to commit as well.

    Not sure about the stomping grounds, but everywhere else is covered in snow. 4-8" in some spots of Moline. I rode through some drifts on Tuesday night of 10"+ down by the Rock River. Stomping grounds are probably pretty nice right now.

    I'm off Saturday and Sunday and I'm down to ride where ever.

    I'm in for a Saturday stomp. I'm leaning towards a little earlier to take advantage of the freezing temps (15 degrees overnight) as the stomping grounds are best when frozen. Going to be a beautiful day!

    Hope a few out-of-towners can make the trip up to join in the fun.

    If anyone has a specific time they have to go, we can meet up somewhere, but I'm thinking of starting around 8:00am.

    Ok, I got a babysitter lined up for Saturday morning, so the best I can do is 9:30 @ The Fright House. Will that work for you Badfish, otherwise I could just meet you toward Credit Island if you want to head out earlier? I've got a big ping pong tournament tonight, so I maybe a little sluggish.

    Just shoot me a text in the morning and we'll go from there. I'll be playing around in the early sections and will be in no hurry.

    Badfish, I'll see you down there @8-8:15. I'll stop by the Freight and if you're not there I'll work my way down until I see you.

    See you there.

    If anyone else is interested in either of the times post up so we don't leave you behind.

    Another Saturday of guzzling PBR and riding the fattie......can't wait.

    Thanks for the input. We decided to head up to Kettle Moraine instead. Haven't done a fatty ride up there yet. Gonna be fun!

    Have fun Russ. That's an easy decision right there.

    Looking like around 9:30 for me too. See you guys in the morning.
