They have a large parking lot and plenty of room inside. (However, if too many people show up, Culvers is just across the street!) They also have really good food.

I went to college in Point, but too many nights spent at the Alibi happy hour doomed my college career the first time around. :beer2: My parents now live in North Freedom, and my sisters in the Milwaukee area. I am hoping to make one of these WI rides as an excuse to visit my mom and dad. And boy, how I miss a good custer hot fudge sundae:mw1:

[ST Dan]

as of right now, I have to work...but if that changes, i'd make the drive down to say hi to everyone!

This sounds interesting and will have to recheck the schedule. Hopefully get time to "run down the road" to be a part of this.

Would I need the whole weekend for the 50 mile trip??????????

[wolfxoman]

Sounds good to me just have to get permission from my financial supervisor first.:scared2: Unfortunately for me she dosen't ride along she'd rather ride a horse than a STeed.:D

[BadgerFan]

I got clearance from the better half and it is on the calendar so count me in!!! Actually she might ride over too :-)

Guys and gals,
I will be driving through point at appox. 9:30am in the cage on Sat.. The whole family is going to the cabin (which doesn't happen often). The wife said she would go when I had hot water.... got that all hookup a week ago. Still much work to get the cabin done but it's getting closer all the time... I will be thinking of you. If all goes well I should be on 2 wheels later in the afternoon with my boys on the dirt trails
Thanks Dave

You all have a fun and safe day tomorrow!!!

[scout17]

I am in the same category as Rich. A definate possibility maybe kinda sorta. It all depends on how well things go in the morning.

Dang, I was through that area yesterday. Today I'll be farther south, hunting up Rustic Roads and working my way over to the Bonzai Rally in Richland Center.

Be careful out there, the LEOs are thick this weekend.

Mary,

I had a great time. Thanks for hosting lunch. I am glad to have met everyone. I didn't get a chance to chat with everyone, but that leaves something to do on the next one. Maybe I will host something in Illinios and you guys can come this way. :D

Would everyone agree that the topper of the meal was the waitress, Binky. She was cracking us up on the west end of the table.

Took a creative way home. And yes it was on purpose. I figured if I stayed in between 39 and 41 and head south I would eventually hit Illinois, and I did. It was 220 miles up there and 295 back.

Anyone take any pictures????

[Dave Tracy]

The food was good, the conversations were great . Its nice to meet people with like views on what bikes are the best. We ended up 325 miles total on a beautiful day.

Enjoyed meeting everyone that attended the ride to eat! Was a perfect day for riding.Hope we can do this again at some other destination this summer!Jason and Ann...

[3000marty]

yes it was a perfect day for riding and chatting great hosts great food and great people so who did "binky" go home with ha ha. :03biker:

[irish]

Thank you to everyone who came! It was great meeting all of you! I counted 13 bikes and 14 people.

We did take a camera. Forgot to get it out :( Once the bikes started rolling in, we didn't give the camera a second thought. Way too much fun meeting new riders and checking out the bikes!!

I think we need to do it again, too. Middleton on June 7th and Richland Center on June 14th?!?! There are really good roads leading to both spots. Let's hope we get a repeat of the wonderful weather!!

I thought Binky went with someone on the west end of the table?? She told Tom, BadgerFan, that she wasn't going with him after all . . . I assumed she had another offer . . . Either that, or she heard about him getting pulled over on his way in :D

Scout, Steve and I have never had REAL Chicago style pizza (hint, hint)!

Sorry I missed this but I was riding the Bonzai out of Richland Center.

racked over 600 miles this weekend...I need to stay off that thing!
Just 1 year old and 26,000 on the clock:o4:

Thanks for posting the pick. Maybe we can have a Wisconsin RTE in Madison for a decent turn out. That gets too far north for the Illinois boys.
