I'll be there. I'm riding in from Minneapolis on Saturday and riding back home on Monday. I hope the rain holds off :)

Thought about it and then completely forgot about it. As it is I have about 300 miles worth scheduled fri-mon.

I'm riding in it. Driving in from Wausau on Saturday. Weather looks good, albeit a little cool. Hopefully the wind will subside.

I made it! 352 miles total. A lot of wind and a little rain on Saturday. I got soaked about 5 miles from Chippewa Falls. I should have started a half hour earlier :). Sunny but a bit cool on Sunday - the arm warmers didn't come off until the last couple hours. Sunny and warmer on Monday and my achilles tendons were pretty sore. I slept about 10 hours last night :)

Good for you! I can't imagine a more challenging, or satisfying, way to spend a three day weekend. Are you going to post your ride on RouteSlip or some other site?

Well, here's the route I had planned to use from Stillwater to Chippewa Falls. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=978459 I deviated only slightly taking 100th Ave and 310th St. along Glen Hills Co. Park instead of County E. On the return trip, I took 170 between Colfax and Wheeler because County N had nearly rattled my crown loose on the way to Chippewa Falls :)
