This link is exact to what our local weather is saying. So far, Sat and Sunday....No rain. The past few weeks they have called for 20 to 30% chances of rain any given day. It only rained 1 of the days so don't be too worried about that.

About 7-10 of us are leaving from Madison Friday night and staying in Dubuque for the weekend. We will be riding in to JP on Saturday. Anyone going from the Dubuque area?

I use to go every year but having been there so many times, Ilost the desire to deal with traffic. Last year we got poured on and no rain gear. ooops!! I enjoyed seeing the "wall of death" and they usually have a clearence section in the back building. All I can say is that place gets packed!!
Big name companies are there.

Was there last year and had a great time. They had a lot of vendors that are selling at some good prices. Lost of people, bikes(4-5 thousand last year), free food and a really good time. Wish I could go this year but we are heading out west on Friday. The weather should be about 90 and as normal it will be very humid.
