Ride info
Hello all this is Josh
Rick H and myself were going to get more logs for the real mill! We got to talking about the long line up of motorcycles along the fence. The more we talked we discovered that both of us have bikes. Then the two of us thought, what great fun it would be to have a ride among the [FONT="]W.M.S.T.R [/FONT]folks. Then I really started thinking really hard about it. This is what I came with.
I would like thank everyone who as help me along the way. Crystal Aakre she designed the poster thanks what great work she does. Rick H for the idea thanks. The Members & The Board for allowing me to put this on. To all that will help along the way and anyone I forgot thanks! I will update this with pictures of sites, stops, times and a map.
Sincerely Josh Doxey any questions send me a PM or Email I will respond.

Photo of the peak
This is Inspiration Peak in the winter. Sorry I haven't taking a photo in the summer but I will before the ride. The photo does not do justice of the view. Facts 20 mile circle look out of 50 lakes, pastures, fields and many more. 400 feet above the surrounding plains, 1750 above sea level. Which puts it at one of the highest points in Minnesota

Here it is folks the map of the ride sorry it’s so late. I do have 20 maps to give out at the ride. Now on the times of when and how long we will be at each place are close but not exact. The lunch at inspiration peak is a little on the spendy side. They have a lunch buffet that goes until 2.00 pm the coast was eleven dollars and some change. After that there is a regular menu which is about average. If this is an issue with your check book you should make other plans on food. The ride is 187 miles give or take a few. If you have any questions about anything send me a PM I will respond as soon as I can. PS if anyone knows they are going respond here or send me a PM so I can have some kind of head count.This ride will go rain or shine! Thanks again Josh

I need to say I am sorry to Tim D and Eileen T. I forgot to thank them at the beginning of the ride. Tim did an excellent job at photos and video. Eileen helped me get ready in the morning. Without their help the ride would not have been as cool as it was. Thank you two very much! Also Yancy and Jo drove in the back to make sure everyone was ok thanks guys! Rick thanks for the kind words and your prayer was unbelievable you are very good with words! Just one last shout out to the members and board in Dalton. They had buildings open and Pete M was down there firing on the Rumly. That was so cool to hear the whistle and smell the smoke as we rode into the grounds! Thanks Pete
I only got some pictures of the ride. I do know that Tim D, Crystal and Yancy got a bunch. When you guys have time please post them thanks.
Just a few of the bikes by the case eagle. This group of riders have never been to the show. Because of the ride they said the are coming to our show. About Ten where in this group.

The final total money raised from the ride is $190.00! We had ten people that have never been to the show. Because of the ride they will be back for the show! Now that is to cool. I would say for the first year out and only donations. That was an awesome turn out. Next years ride is already being planed! Thanks again for making this a success!
