I'd like to announce that we will be again organizing a ride for 2016 in Southwestern Wisconsin. Last years was pretty successful (other than a bridge closure and a section of washed-out gravel ). Terrain is mostly rolling hills, with routes selected for quieter, twistier roads. It's a beautiful area.

The date has been set for September 16-18. There will be an organized ride Friday afternoon of about 90 miles, longer ride on Saturday (3-4 hours of riding with breaks), and possible Sunday morning ride. Speeds average 45-50+, so if you have a 150cc or more you'll do fine. There have been some questions about smaller scooters....they'd be welcome but may have to go at their own pace or alternate route.

Still working on details, but should have the official lodging site out soon, along with proposed routes. Stay tuned. Just wanted to get the date out there as summer plans are shaping up early for a lot of folks.

I really enjoyed your 2015 meet. A lot of interesting roads and the favorite was the one I think we were lost. A REAL treat to ride in the state of Wisconsin for sure. I plan to make it in 2016! Might consider bringing the Mustang 250.

Update
The base will be in historic Mineral Point, Wisconsin, a center of early lead mining.
http://mineralpoint.com/

Our base hotel will be the Quality Inn: (608) 987-4747
A block of rooms will be reserved under "Wisconscoot." Rates are $119/room, but you can register online and prepay for $92. Cutoff date for the reserved rooms is August 15th. There are some interesting other (pricier) options in town as well if you want to splurge.

Dining, routes etc., are still being finalized, but look forward to some great riding in Southwestern Wisconsin's rolling farmland: curvy roads, rivers, funky towns. Oh, and a chance to score a Cornish pasty, if that moves you.

Thanks, Russ. Loved having you. BTW, we were NOT lost.

We were having an adventure.

Lets just say the road wasn't quite as represented on the map

Dave,

I called the Quality Inn and made reservations. They did
have your name for the block of rooms. I will becoming
in Thursday night - taking my leisure time - coasting
through the back roads.

On the ride this season, I will be smoking Don Tomas
Corojo Maduro cigars. I will bring a few extra along for
anyone interested.

Over and Out,

Bob Copeland

I thoroughly enjoyed attending last year, riding a GTS generously loaned to me by Madison Sully.

This year's ride looks very good too.

But I signed up for a big ride in Tuscany that starts the next week.

That plus the Scooter Cannonball in July is probably all I can manage.

But I will be back for 2017.

We'll miss you, Bill (and Sam). Glad you'll be having fun, anyway.

Deposit paid and looking forward to scooting in Italy.

I will be back next year, and may need to borrow your sweet GTS then.

I also may try to come up for a weekend ride with Sam in August.

Might need to borrow it for that.

Early fall is usually very nice weather, and Wisconsin has great roads, with no potholes!

Great! Ferry looks pretty cool, though pricey. Beats going through Chicago though. We're planning on another ferry ride for the scooters at a price you can't beat.

Our roads aren't bad, but could be better. I've seen them listed as third or fourth worst in the country. Having said that, I still consider them very rideable. Scenery is always great.

Hi Dave:

If Bob Copeland is coming to your event I've just got to be there too. I just reserved a room at the Quality Inn, hoping that a friend from Missouri will join me. I am bringing my CSC bike ('Lil Boy Blew), a 250 fun bike for sure! Waiting for warmer weather here in Iowa. I will arrive in Mineral Pt. Thursday pm.

Hey, that's great news. I didn't know Bob was such a draw. 8)

OAD, would be great to have you...but there's always next year.

BTW, we're looking at about 15 riders at the moment. Should be a nice group.

Hey Russ,

It appears we are both coming in Thursday. Perhaps
we can dine somewhere that evening. I may arrive
by 4pm. I will be out front smoking a cigar and look
for you.

I announced the event to the Minn-Max gang at our
ride planning meeting. I do not know who else may
tag along. They will need to notify Dave if they are coming.

Hope you are well.

I'm not too sure about that weekend since she might be out of town at a conference. I will check with her.

I'm going to try to make it this year, as it's practically in my back yard. It's the weekend before the Fall Gathering in Robbinsville, NC, though, so I might not be able to swing 2 weekends in a row...

I know there's some great riding in that area as one of my "Horray, I have a Saturday free so I'm going to ride!" destinations is to head up there and hit a couple of the MotorcycleRoads.com Top 100, Mt. Carrol to Elizabeth and then Elizabeth Scales Mound Rd. From there I swing across Stagecoach Rd to Galena and head down Blackjack Road (though I always seem to get caught behind slow cars on this segment. Grr!) Then I'll stop at Mississippi Palisades before heading home down the Great River Road (Rt. 84). Makes for a nice ride.

If I can get the weekend off would love to join the Wisconsin ride. Will know next week if we can make it. Hope to meet some fellow scooter enthusiasts. Bill
Would be nice to have you. Expecting a nice, but manageable number of scooters. I think there's another rider or two from Illinois.

Bob, will be nice to see you again. Missing the 10,000 Scoots, but that's life. Speaking of cheeseheads, I keep thinking of starting a local group (we have two already!) called Cheesy Riders. Already double the size of Rapputak's Hertford Scooter Club! Eyelashes emoticon

Looks like we'll have approximately 18 riders as things stand now. Good showing....thanks all, for the interest!

As always, there may be some late joiners, as well as drop-outs.

Not expecting any significant changes, but I'd suggest that you pm me with contact information, either phone or email for last minute updates. I'll return mine as well. If you can't make it, even at the last minute, it would be nice to know so we can adjust our expectations accordingly. If you're running late, but not too late for the Friday ride, we could stall a bit rather than leave you behind.

Hopefully we have some great fall weather for some fun riding!

Dave

I certainly wish I was coming again.
But Italy is going to be something special.
See you next year.
