The whole idea of the trip was to see the fall colors and they aren't changing in September I don't think. For me, I prefer riding in cold weather. Plus, I can get away from the wife's "Birthday Week" if it's that weekend in October. Oct 8th is her B-day. :D

I dont care about the colors, it seems if we did it at the earlier dates more people would go. I aint up for cold riding much any more, and I think the end of September sounds great. 23rd, and 24th sound perfect. If not then, the 7th, and 8th of october would work.

Not true, I wasn't there last year. 2 years ago I was there, so just not last year, because I missed her birthday the year before. 8)

The only weekend we can make it is the 29th/30th. Rich has his kids the weekend before and the weekend after. That's why we've never made it before, they are always on kid weekends.

I will go any weekend, as long as it is not too...

Windy
Hot
Cold
Cloudy
Humid

Or any chance of...

Rain
Snow
Drizzle
Humidity

Beside this, i think we are pretty well clear...

By the anything between 74 and 80 degrees, and Sunny would be nice as well...

This is just my 2 cents.

It is a 30 day poll and the poll will decide. It isn't MY ride ... I just got stuck with them, I guess because I have sooo much fun :)
BTW ... Let's not get TOO carried away with all the hysterics about the cold. Last year it was chilly being cloudy and in the 40s but the year before it was sunny and 70.

That may be true RB, but the later in the season the better chance of foul weather. I personally dont like riding in cold weather.

I can ride in it, just dont like it.

I like Oct. 7th personnally. I have to work previous weekends....Stupid job.

She would like to go with me for once, but she hates the cold, but is comming even if its cold. I think she will be cold on that ride no matter what, unless its 90 out. LOL

I let 'em stay in my room, their request (June, not the Dells), I don't even get a "Thank you".

You didn't meet my Pop when all the X's got together in Johnson Creek last April. Yeah, he's got a HD, but its no big deal. Ask Joe and the guys, they loved him. He's always asking when the next big thing is with the WIVO's because he liked everyone so much. He almost, repeat, almost, wanted to have a VTX so he could be one of us more....He liked the WIVO's better than the HOG fellas.

And if the date is one I'm stuck working on, he might just go without me! Maybe taking my Mom too. I have to get out of working weekends somehow. Dad wears no patches, prefers incognito! I have my WIVO patch on the vest, but weather is rarely right for that garment. Too cold at night, too hot during day. Just can't win.

OK. Barring some huge change in the votes during the day today, it looks like the Fall Dells run will be the weekend of Sept. 29 & 30 and Oct. 1. Same place as always:

Top Hat Motel
812 River Rd.
Wisconsin Dells, WI 53965
Ph: 608-253-5431

Right behind Nigs on the corner of River Rd and Broadway. Past experience says your best bet for making a reservation is to call after 6pm during the week but your mileage may vary

Well Ace, from what I see, more people didnt want that date, maybe it got the most votes, but more votes went to the other two days. Thats a bad weekend for me and the wife to, I could have done both other ones. I can do this one, but we will both have to work two weekends to make up for it at are jobs, so if there are alot of people that cant make it cus of that weekend, maybe there has to be two weekends worth of the Dells?

There seems to be a good number of us that this weekend dont work well for, so we were talking about doing a seperate Dells ride on the 7th, and 8th. Joe or I will put up another post for it today to see if there is enough interest in doing two weekends worth. Intruderider, Joe, and my wife and I all are looking at that weekend.
