Hey All,
Sorry, I've been crazy busy at work
and now protecting my home in S. Mpls 5th precinct...
I hope you all are safe and now enjoying more freedoms.
So, here is a plan, sound off and let me know if I'll be driving alone or hanging with VW pals. This is just an idea and totally malleable. I've got the day off work and would love to meet up with y'all, scope each other's rides, and go for a cruise.
Plan: Meet at MN Interstate State Park near Taylor's Falls at 10 AM Sat 6/6. Hang out, meet & greet, scope rides. Depart on cruise at 11:30 AM and follow route into WI around and about and then back through Osceola to Interstate Park. Route is about 44 miles. I have no idea if all of these roads are open or good but it seems pretty scenic. We are all in daily drivers, yes? I didn't check but there may be gravel on this route. We can always alter route if the road is uncool (gravel, road construction.) I wanted a bit more elevation change but this is what I came up with. I figure Interstate Park is better as a meet point (for a single day event) for the more northern folk than a Red Wing or more southern route.
Can someone figure out food? Maybe we could order ahead and stop somewhere for takeout and then take to a picnicking area? Maybe we could do a potluck at Interstate Park post cruise if we have enough people?
Attached is the route as a PDF. I made it with Map My Ride. If you sign up for Under Armour's Map My Fitness I can send you a link that has a .GPX download option.
