| Thank you to the Linden family for raising such a great son whose focus seems genuine from what I know of him. Also, thank you to Jeff Anderson Alexandria RC, Monica Mead whose help is always 150% and also to all North Dakota PGR members who escorted Troy home, and not leastly to ALL LEO that helped put all this together, what a great cooperative effort made by all. |

Good Afternoon:
There will be a group leaving the McDonalds at 169 and Anderson Lakes Parkway in Eden Prairie on Tuesday, 18 Jul, at 2:00 PM sharp heading to Detroit Lakes. State Captain Jim Bono will be leading this group and all who would like to head up on Tuesday are welcome to join him. The route will be 169 to Hiway 10 to Detroit Lakes. Hiway 10, I am told, is posted at 65 mph all the way to Detroit Lakes.
There are some Hotel rates and numbers posted earlier by Flagwaver and Gigi, (Thank you!) if you need them.
Please remember that as in all Patriot Guard Events we need to sign the waivers before we head out on the mission.
Jim and Gigi will have the waivers for you to sign.
If anyone has any questions, or need any information please feel free to contact me at PGRSWMetro-RC@MN.rr.com
Thank you!

Dragonman Dan...
Holiday at 4:00pm, Tuesday, in Big Lake should work out fine for me! As
far as stops go, you lead and stop whenever you want to. I, too, have a
bum leg. We'll have to compare! I don't have a room as I am
planning on stay at my folks lake home 30 miles south of DL. I'll be
taking the Perham exit. If you want, you can call me at work 0600 to
1430 tomorrow, 651 717-6656. This # is also available to anyone else
who wants to meet up at the Holiday gas station at 4:00pm, Tuesday
afternoon, for the ride to Detroit Lakes.
If anyone has questions about Detroit Lakes, please feel free to ask.

Mankato Sector Ride Plan.
PLEASE RSVP if you plan to make this mission. If less than 5 people respond, I will ride up to Detroit Lakes on Tuesday afternoon so I don't have to get up as early on Wednesday. So it's very important that you RSVP me if you plan to ride up on Wednesday at mn.pgr.mankatorc@gmail.com Thank you.
1. 3:00am - We will stage at Mankato Harley Davidson, 1200 North River Drive in Mankato. (Just off Hwy 14 and on Hwy 169). Everyone MUST sign a release form prior to departure. Make sure you have a full tank of gas prior to departure.
2. Ride Briefing will be at 3:20am.
3. 3:30am - We will depart Mankato HD and get on Hwy 14 and travel Westbound.
4. At New Ulm turn onto Hwy 15 and travel Northbound.
5. At Klossner turn onto County Road 5 and travel Westbound.
6. At Hwy 4 turn and travel Northbound.
7. Stop and gas up at the Fairfax gas station, it has 92 octane fuel.
8. At Fairfax turn onto Hwy 19 and travel Westbound.

Total ride time: 5 hours, 18 minutes.
Total miles: 269.11 miles.
I know this route is a little out of the way, however this keeps us on semi major roads which should provide safe shoulders should someone need to pull off in an emergency.
Bring a 3x5 foot flag and pole if at all possible.
Remember to dress appropriately for the weather, forecast is HOT, pack rain gear just in case, bring as much WATER as possible and something to EAT. We must be self-sufficient.

For the morning ride from the metro it looks like there's construction a few places on I94. I'm planning on using Highway 10. (All the projects open up the lanes by mid-morning, so this won't be a problem for people going up the afternoon before, according to the MN DOT website).
So my plan is I35W to US 10 all the way in, starting at about 0500. (The issue is one of the construction zones brings 94 down to one lane at Weaver Lake Road, so the normal 94 to Clearwater to US 10 route is also out.) If anyone wants to link up, email raske@usinternet.com |
