Default Tomahawk WI Fall Ride

Anyone headed to Tomahawk for the Fall Color Ride and HD's open house? I predict 70's and sunny each day; maybe, I hope, maybe!

Last couple years have been pretty chilly at night. Still fun though. I head up after work on Friday.

Plan to try and make it for the parade on Friday. Definitely chilly last year! The misty rain didn't help. Definitely a good time tho!

Looks like 70's is not in the forecast. It's gonna be quite cold at night, too. No issue, though, the cold just makes for better snuggling, etc, in the tent

We are going to miss it for the first time in a few years, flying to NYC to visit our daughter for a long weekend.

Dang, all my wishing and praying for warm temps. did not work. We are leaving today and meeting friends in Wausau. Looks like Mid 50s for the first couple days then 60's and wouldn't you know 70's about Monday.

We are wimps for the night travel and cold so we are jumping in a friends truck for the after dark trips from Wausau to Tomahawk. His truck stands up the the large northwoods critters better than a bike does too!

We rode in the parade this year. That was kind of fun. Amazing how many people there are out to watch it.

I had my GoPro running the whole time. Trying to shrink 40+minutes of video down to something a little easier to watch.
