I'm oncall at work that day but I will see if someone can trade with me, I'll try my best to make this since its only a two hour drive instead of the usual 4 for me.

I chose a start point that is at the buttcrack of the major freeways, easily identifiable, but not a large parking lot such as a mall where people can get lost, and not in use during the hours we will be there (see how much thought I put into this? Sheesh!)

Let me look into it, i'd love to have a peek at the shop space and cars anyhow if you will be joining

There is a park and ride right off of the exit by my shop as well, and it will be much less hectic than easttowne mall area. On the other hand, I have room for about 40-50 cars in my parking lot (just confirmed with google satellite maps) so there's that too.

ROUTE UPDATED, check the link in the original post. No longer passing through Waunakee. These are good changes! I noted that one of the original roads was gravel/washboard. I will be driving the whole route via google streetview to make sure there arent any other unpaved roads

After scoping out the route on Street View, I found few more improvements to the route and made yet another revision. Reasons for changes: less prone to getting split up or lost, better continuity, removed a boring section, some roads were just too narrow and underdeveloped, and a decreased overall travel time by staying on the freeway just a tad longer. This should be the last one unless I find out there is some road construction or something else going on. Check it out in the first post!

Awesome. It looks like a great route!

I'll be going to preview it one of these days. My only experience with roads anywhere near Madison are out in Mt. Horeb which is utterly amazing from a smoothness and great twisties standpoint, but horrible from a vista/view standpoint. I would like to explore some new areas so I will probably run your route and scope out some other roads near there.

I was considering the same thing. I always thought it would be cool to run a cruise along the Mississippi river. I have heard many amazing things about "The Great River Road" Hwy 35 in Wisconsin and have never been on it.

I'm in La Crosse on Hwy 35, its a beautiful road and somewhat twisty but essentially just a highway. We wouldn't be able to have much twisty or fast fun, but it would be a great casual cruise.

ONE MONTH and counting.

Two months you mean?

2 months could be a good thing or a bad thing, more time to get things sorted and get your car going, or more time to achieve some Classic WIBIMMERS compression test numbers.

Jason I will update the map to start at your shop sometime tonight as long as you are still okay with meeting at your shop.

Oh man this could be cutting it close for me, my car should be sold real soon but I don't know if I'll have another by then. And there isn't much point in showing up with my 115hp Honda
