Oni,

I plan on being there.
I'll put in the papers to take off work Friday second half of my shift, usually runs from 10:45 pm till 4:30 am.  If I can't get freed up from work; no sleep = no ride.

we started out with 10 bikes on our ride,once we got Spencer one couple decided to split (already had plans) and they went on to indy,we get to Bloomington and turned onto 45 we lost another one (we stopped and waited for good 15-20min), i think he decided to head back home since it was to cold for him (older gentleman that hadn't rode since the 50s and no gear what ever).

After that we stopped in Nashville IN for lunch, btw it was awsome and it was nice and warm at the restaurant. About 1.5 hr went by and we decided to get back on to our horses and rode some nice twisties at a good pace, even the Piaggio (the rider is in his early 70s) was holding the speed.

In Bedford Drew and Alan split to head home (they already had 2hr of riding before we evan started at Joe's)was nice to see some Ducs,and it's always fun to meet with old friends.
At this point we started heading Home on 54 of course the pace getting faster as we were getting closer to home, finally Home all safe and frozen!!!
All in all it was a great turn out considering the chill, i know many backed out becouse of it, maybe next time!!
logged 208miles total time of 7.5 hr (including lunch)

Oni,
      It was a really good route, wish I'd dressed warmer.  Next time I'll plan for the entire route, but I did get a little over 300 miles in yesterday.  A good ride is always better with great people.

yeah the temps wern't great but we had a good time and thats what counts
+ we had a good group not to many riders and all of about the same skill level ,which make riding fun since we didn't have to wait to many times (besides the guy we lost, still dont know what happend)
