A ROSE AMONG THREE THORNS

On Wednesday evening four WNR gathered for Bob R's final Wednesday night ride as leader.  We had Nancy on her Harley, Howard on his Harley, Gary in a support vehicle, and Bob leading on his Wing.  Just from this description, you should be able to pick out the rose from the thorns!

GOOD TO SEE NANCY AGAIN

NEW SUPPORT VEHICLE??!!  SHOULD HAVE A MOWER ON THE FRONT!

NOT HARD TO FIND THE ROSE IN THIS PICTURE!

 Since the daylight is getting shorter, so are our rides.  Since we want to try to be back before dark, it looks like we need to be at Gus & Tony's by seven.  So we decided to take a perimeter run around Allamakee county by starting out east on the Elon Road and then took Lafayette Road down to the Great River Road and into Lansing.  We headed north out of Lansing along the river on HWY 26 to New Albin where we picked up Pool Hill Road west into Eitzen.  In Eitzen we took HWY 76 south to Iowa River Drive over to Lycurgus Road and then onto HWY 9.  We took 9 on into Waukon for our usual stop at Gus & Tony's where Dorothy and Wayne & Sandy joined us.  Nice fall evening and about 75 more miles on the Wing.

BONUS RUN

On your ride sheet you'll notice a Bonus Run on Sunday.  That was put there in case we couldn't go to Rockton the week before, or if it turned out to be a nice day for a ride, we could try to squeeze one more in.  If it is a nice day, I do plan to ride on Sunday.  I'll leave Casey's at noon.  I don't know where I will be going yet, but I will be back before dark.  Anyone is welcome to ride along!!  Since I'm having my knee replaced on Tuesday, this will no doubt be my last ride for 2016.
