It would be great to have you ride along 05LowRider. If the weather was good (a relative term this year in IA) I was planning on leaving here around 9:30am. Wife is riding with me.

Bob,

I forget where you live. I don't remeber if you're east or west of the I-80/I-380 interchange. Either way, I can meet up just about anywhere along the way.

Hey Steve,

I'll surely give you a call at some point along the way before I get there. If I don't have a total memory lapse or end up on call that weekend I'll bethere!
