I see nicer weather on the horizon. Hoping to do the day trip sometime this month.
I'd like to keep the group small. Route total comes in at about 550 miles round trip.
Date:
TBD, dependent on attendees and weather
Meet time: 6:45am
Meet location : Road Ranger off of 90/20 -

Pace: Slow in the straights, spirited in the corners.
Lunch: Red Robin, Dubuque, IA
Requirements: Be fueled (both you and car) and ready to go. I'd like to be on the road by 7am.
For those attending, the route is available in garmin's gdb or gpx format. West of rockford, reception is spotty. Verizon/att should have some coverage (at least voice). Data may be limited.
Stops are about every 1 1/2 - 2 hours, give or take. From past trips, fewer stops in the beginning, more stops as the day progresses. There will be lots of curves and corners. If your passenger gets carsick, they may want to sit this one out.
