I vote for the 18th, since some of us have children we need to be responsible for.

That's 2 votes for the 18th. I am good either weekend. Joe, do you get a vote or did Donna vote for you?

Not much response, perhaps the ride is too long for one of our scheduled rides?

Here is the ride plan as we left it, 427 miles.

http://rideplanner.harley-davidson.c...4&locale=en_US

Stops at Desert Rose in Arlington and Jake's Corner.

There are also good stops in Wickenburg and Globe.

No one has to do the whole ride. Anyone can join up with or leave us at any point.

Just let us know where you want to meet and we can hook up.

PS.. that was Joe's vote...I did not try to persuade him in any way! (that's my story and I'm sticking to it).

I won't be riding that weekend. I have other obligations. Catch up with you all next time.

We may be out of town(on four wheels) the 18th, if not, we'll hook up somewhere along the route.

Now that I started the voting for the 18th... I won't be here.

I'll be taking the kids to my sister's for pumpkin picking. It's a tradition.

The Desert Rose is a little out of the way according to the ride planner, plus its not so much along the way. You guys are probably better off at the Tin Top there on the corner of 383rd (Wintersburg) and the Salome. Only downside is there is no high grade at the gas station

If that's the case, and you want a few more twists, instead of turning of Old 80 at Salome, ride it out a few more miles to Arlington School Rd. It twists up and eventually turns into 355th. From there, you can turn west onto Elliot, and then north onto 383rd.

This is my usual ride to/from work and I love it. Hardly any traffic, and some good desert riding. That road is all I need to clear my head.

T.J.

I think I modified per your instructions, but not sure. Please check. BTW, the Desert Rose is stop 6 on the ride plan, so it seems we will go right by it.
