it was a toss up between this and the J&P open house....i chose Iowa, though this would be like a 20 min. ride for me. For some reason it doesn't look all that appealing to me.

enjoy if you decide to go

I am still undecided myself. It would be about an hour and ten minute ride for me so it could be a decent ride. All the damn rain we have had this year has not allowed me to put many miles on the bike so I may head up just to get the miles in and do a little people watching. There is actually some good riding up there in Lake County and McHenry county around the Chain of Lakes. Enjoy the J&P event.

Throttle fest, really???? $30 to get in. Me and old lady. $12 captains, I had to tap out in two hours. 1:45 to get home with a buzz isn't cool.......

I enjoyed the wrestling!
