Bob,

I know where you're at. I've done some work in the past at (formerly) Victor Plastics. I'm trying hard to come up with any excuse I can to do more riding this year! I've been entertaining the idea of starting a post for all the Iowa (and nearby) members to see if any would be interested in a Saturday meet and greet. Maybe a loosely organized ride, I don't know. I just though it might be worth a try since I see a lot of Iowa members on here lately.

Brian

Morning Brian. I work just 2 miles north of VPI.. Im sure you saw the water tower from 80. Our facility is right under that tower. I would be interested in a M&G ride. Im looking for somewhere to ride tomorrow. I dont want to goto Conesville again... been there, got the shirt. Some of us are riding to the Freedom Rock in Greenfield Sunday the 25th. Ill post a thread about that ride in the Iowa section as well.

Good morning Bob. I tried to post last night but kept getting an error page![:@] Today is going to be such a great day for riding! I'm trying to figure out how to squeeze some in. I go every other Saturday for a haircut and today's appointment is at 1:45 so of course it cuts my day in half![8D] Looks like tommorow should be just as nice though! That Freedom Rock ride sounds fun. I've been wanting to go see it ever since I first heard about it!

Cadillac Bob, you must work at Victor mfg. I worked there for about 10 years in quality control. That was around 1981 to 1992. I operated the coordinate measuring machine. Still know a lot of people there. Stopped through and caught up on old times a time or two.
