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.

Feedback appreciated

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.

That sounds like a worthwhile excuse though!!!

ONE MONTH and counting.

[Earl]

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.

YAS.

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

What @Snap said. If I dont have any of my cars running I will take my 85hp civic.

Take pride in what you have/enjoy what you drive

Route map updated, starting at Jason's shop in cottage grove. See first post.

@zojave and I cruised around a few weeks ago and this is what we ended up doing for the day. Plenty of fun switchbacks, a county park with a view and pics and all low car friendly roads.

I'd suggest taking hwy 60 around the lake though because A its a fun road too and B the ferry isn't very low car friendly.

Is this more or less our Fall Meet? I've been asking Mitch for weeks if you guys were having one. Kept getting the "yeah doubt it" and "doesn't matter we aren't going" speech. Figured the forum would answer my question lol.

We will be there [emoji6] don't know if it will be in a bimmer, but Kaiser rolls and I will be there haha.

[Earl]

It sure is=) I wonder if we will have a record number of members in non-BMW's. lol I will not be in one either

Once upon a time there was a Rampelsauce. He organized some things from time to time.

Rampelsauce is no longer with us so I have taken it upon myself to try to organize some other things. I made it official by using the logo and told Chris to sue me.

So yes, this is the fall meet for lack of any other fall meet. Glad to hear you will be making it. You guys seem to make it when there are rare miata parts for sale so I will sell some rare miata parts that look like M20 parts at the meet if that's what it takes.
