Memorial Day Ride

[Russ]

Anyone interested?   If so, where should we go?  Which day, Saturday?

[Nick]

Should 2wheelriders go the distance or should 2wheelriders stay local for the memorial day ride?  we shall prevail on any trip mapped out and will dominate the trip completely.  suggestions are to goto fort ransom  north dakota, an all day and some evening trip....

[Russ]

What is there to see or do in fort ransom?  How many miles is it?  Can we take some good back roads?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

[Nick]

We should go to Shade Tree and spend some money on a rememberance holiday?

[Russ]

That sounds good.  Some trip supplies would be good.  Lets find some back roads to take there instead of the freeway?

[Russ]

Shadetree is open 9 to 5 on Saturdays, so we should be good to go for Saturday.  What time are we leaving?

[Nick]

we should leave at the crack-of-dawn to get maximum riding in for the day....?  and still have plenty of time to get some shade at the tree....

[Russ]

Good idea.  Crack of dawn.  What time is that?  5AM?  Wow, not sure if I can get up that early.  How does leave at 9:30 from Hoffman sound?  Head east!

[Nick]

Saddle up for for some shade.....a day of domination!!!!

[Russ]

Now they are saying rain for Saturday.  Isolated t-storms.  Might have to buy some rain gear while we're there?

[Nick]

rain forecast says not till evening, so we should have good riding all day, maybe a little breezy....we will rule the weather

[Nathan]

So how was the ride? Did you domn8 the Shady Tree? Let's have some details boys....

[Russ]

Oh boy did we ever.  Was a little cool in the morning, but warmed up nicely in the afternoon.  Didnt buy much, Shawn bought a helmet and I bought a pair of sunglasses.  It was fun to look around.  After we were done lounging under the shade tree, Shawn went to visit Krista, and we went to Isanti, just north of the cities, to visit Nicks Brother.  He was there working on a hot rod car he is building.  Later we met back up with Shawn in St. Cloud, ate, and went home.  Must have been 7:30pm or so by time we got home.  Good strength training for the Niagara trip.  Have you gotten any strength training in yet this year Nate?  A buff dude like yourself probably doesn't need any training?

[Nathan]

Yeah that is correct I am a buff dude alright.     I hope to get some riding in but also I hope that softball and golfing will help me get in better shape.  Plus I should really use that bicycle too.  Anyway, sounds like you had a good trip, but Nick makes it sound like you did more eating than riding.    L8r on dudes!
