Hey Choptop. My vacation was just approved and I plan on going. I live near the Lake Geneva area. Not sure how far that is from you. Fellow member jm21ddd15 and I talked a little bit about riding down together. I'm flexible on leaving Sunday or Monday. But coming home I will need to be back on that Sunday because I will have to work the next day. If it was up to me. I would like to make it to Springfield MO by Monday evening and have a short. Ride Tuesday to the rally. Jm21ddd15 talked about heading west from my area to the corner of IA,IL,MO and then talking back roads through Missouri down to Springfield or that area. Let me know your plans as I am flexible heading down and haven't made any concrete plans yet. Are you riding 2 up or solo?
Im leaving Chattanooga around 6am on Tuesday and plan to ride straight through Nashville, then Memphis, to Russellville. Should be in Nashville by 8am and Memphis by say, noon if anyone wants to link up along the way.
Bighutch, will be traveling w/baggage only, not the kind that talks. lol Would be nice to hook up w/some heading that way. A group is heading out from Chicago 55, waiting on return info. Will not be running straight threw, did enough 10 - 12 hour , in the saddle, runs this year, will keep in touch.
We may have a Maryland contingent going out together (three riders so far, based on past IM's that I have been privy to so far). More to be seen if that actually transpires ... group ride to Russellville.
I myself, plan to leave early Monday @ o'dark thirty and head to the Washington DC beltway (495) and then take take 66 west to 81 south. Will push it to somewhere in Tennessee and then refuel/rest for the night. Following day (Tuesday) will resume travel and hit Russellville in the early/late afternoon.
Ya'll Marylanders pipe up. Hear? Or I'll run this road trip... alone.
Road Trip !!!
Who's NOT excited ????
Who want's to come along?

If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.
Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.
I was originally going to take 35 down out of the Twin Cities, If I hook up w/some others I will go down 94 and hook up around Bloomington and overnight either before or after Springfield or the place of general consensus.
Originally was going to leave Sunday, have room in Russellville for Tue, Wed., Thursday and Friday but would have to spend another night on the way down, probably leave Monday.
