Re: Cruise to starved rock
I will more than gladly help set this cruise up if people are serious about it.
Just give me until after Wookies in the Woods since that is taking up quite a bit of my time amongst other things.

Re: Cruise to starved rock
I'll do some hunting through my e-mail, I had a good map/route for the area and post it up. It will be a starting point. We can also consider food options: local area/forest picnic(pot luck).

Re: Cruise to starved rock
Alright surprised I still had this e-mail
Well I got this route from Pawel, he's been there a few times and done a couple photoshoots with motorcycles down here as well. Not much for twisties but the best we can get within a reasonable drive. The route starts at an exit off of I-55 and then goes west into the park.
Starved Rock Route
We can look into food options as well. Be it a picnic that everyone brings something or we go into the local town.

Re: Cruise to starved rock
If you are looking for an awesome road...
Stage coach or blackjack out of Galena. Closest thing to a dragon here, I have to say it's the best road I've been on in this area. I haven't been to the Dragon but something tells me I am not missing much from all the stories

Re: Cruise to starved rock
I've always wanted to plan a trip to Galena for those roads, but it's an all day ordeal to take advantage of the roads out there.DasTeknoViking wrote:If you are looking for an awesome road...

Re: Cruise to starved rock
You'll have to show me which roads exactly. I'm not to familiar with this area. Tried getting here last year but ran out of time.Geist296 wrote:I would be up for a starved rock run....pending the day picked if I knew far enough in advance good to go maybe...als Dawid don't forget the run of 102 from wilmington to kankakee and then 113 back from kankakee back to wilmington and then can head towards starved rock from there.

Re: Cruise to starved rock
Well it seems that I will be going to Starved Rock in a few weeks for a last minute wedding invitation.
This will give me the chance to scope things out and a better opportunity to really start making plans.
First thing we should consider is picking dates, figure have at least two in mind just in case. Not sure which works better for people, Saturday or Sundays.
Post up which day of the week is better and then I will post up a handful of dates to choose from.
