Midwest Ramble on and on

I'm in, let's meet at super-launchits whatever's house at 3:30. I always wanted to see one of them ritzy bigshot neighborhoods anyway. This should be fun, even my ol'lady is goin. How should I dress for this shindig? Are overalls ok?
 
How about meet at my place @ 4, weather permitting. We can take back roads to Clinton. I have to ride a bit slower, my wheels aren't balanced yet. 55 mph max.
 
Yep I'm 10min from dewitt I will change and the wife and I will head that way.. Should be there no later than 530
 
Hopefully next time I won't have to work. no travel plans or projects for at least a month that i know of as of right now.
 
We should work on scheduling the first couple days out in CO. Do you have an idea of where your going on day one and day two for you? JK1 was thinking there may be some days to meet up.
