This will be a two day event with Blackjack road finishing up
day one and beginning day two.

Saturday night will be a free night for everyone to do
what they want in Downtown Galena. They are
free to dine alone or recruit others for dinner.

I'll start working on lodging after I get the routes for
both days nailed down. (Or close to it).

We wanted to go this year and couldn't work it into our schedule. Definately want to stay over night somewhere. Count us in for next Fall for sure. Where are you starting from and what roads are you taking So we can figure out where to meet up with you. 6255 milage 2006 Love our envy. We are smack dab in the middle of Indiana sorta

Frank And By

Next year is the first year for this run.


I will look into hotel info sometime in the beginning of next year.


Exact meeting point hasn't been determined yet, but it will
be somewhere off of 90 East of Rockford. (Probably 90 and route 20)

Still planning the exact run and will do another pre-run in October.
Should have day one close to nailed down after that.

I will post all routes once it's finalized.

I couldn't make T2TR-II Both Ways

I've been working 16 hour days, 7 days the past few weeks.

I need to get out and throw my little green gocart into some real curves.

What is the proposed route? I'm thinking that as long as it's not raining, I'm going to try out the route since there is NOTHING here in the Chicago metro area that's truly curvy (well, at least there aren't any free of traffic and cops!).

Might just inspire the T-shirt design.

Like gbslysol, I don't know how I've missed this thread. Count me in! It looks like a great time. I'm asking for two-way radios for Christmas!

Looks like a great route rich!

It looks like a great run, looking forward to it.

Great photos Rich! I will definitely get out on the "course" Saturday or Sunday while the weather is still decent. It'll be a really nice treat for all the long days the pat couple of months. Thanks so much for the detailed route with maps!!!
