Hey man....What is up with your final destination and not having a return route?

Just wondering if something got messed up or not.  If not, let me know about why you chose this route and destination.

No need for permission Nick.  You are the boss for the day, I am just a follower.

So I take it you are cool with each of us planning a day?

we will give it a try, and see how it goes.  of course there will be minor mods probably during the trip?

This is my route if anyone is interested in a 1 hour ($7) tour of the Bowling Green Corvette Assembly Plant. If no one is interested than I should probably change the route. Also, how much riding were we planning for the trip home if I take us 400-450 miles we will not need Monday to get home or at least Monday will be very short.

Let me know.

Scratch that the tours are only during the week. National Corvette Museum anyone? Mammoth Cave? Nothing just ride home?

Let me know.

Post by: Russ on June 03, 2014, 09:58:19 pm
Man, too bad the tour isnt going on the weekend.  That would be cool.

I'm not real interested in the museum, but its your day, I'm just along for the ride.

A short day on Monday is fine with me.  A little time before going back to work is good.

Let me know when you have the route finalized.
