I have a ride planned to Wisconsin the week after labor day weekend. Leaving Friday Sep 5th about 1pm live in north central Iowa. I want a backup plan in case the weather in WI doesn't cooperate. I was thinking we would be able to go down to central Missouri. I would like to scope out the Jefferson City area. Looks like there might be a few rides from there? My wife might take a job there in the next couple of years so it would be a great opportunity to scout the area and see if it stacks up and check out the riding!
We basically have a travel day Friday the 5th and want to ride all day Sat and Sunday (6th and 7th). We need to end up a reasonable distance to home on the end of Sunday. I think within 300 miles would be nice. Home base is Fort Dodge, IA.
