August tour?
We both need to put together vacation requests for work and when we starting making plans one idea grabbed us both immediately: Metra up as far north as we can get and then start biking your way for a potential few nights in B&Bs. Nothing is at all definite, but I’m pretty sure there will be no camping. Lots of different scenarios including potentially heading Milwaukee-way for a night before heading back this way. The guiding principle would be easy riding distances for lots of photog/laziness/beer drinking/sightseeing/wineries. We’re looking at sometime in the first half of August. I know that’s pretty soon after Ragbrai, but this would be mighty low impact in comparison. Y’all interested?
We’re flexible but poor in the very beginning of Aug (1st-4th). We’re helping with the AIDS ride on the 7th. My mom’s b’day is the 11th and so that 8-12 period i may be in MO. Possible 200K Rando on the 16th Work obligation on the 17th at 5:30.
There’s our Aug! we’d love as much K-family-ing and biking during that time as possible…early Aug should have some Mallards baseball too.

Speaking to that, I’ve been thinking of having a informal bike scavenger hunt in the fall. Think about it…distance no speed kinda like geo-chaching…we could have a team of car people set up the course

I loooove the idea. I couldn’t choose a better vacation. I’m in - Bells on, all that. And, yes, the first weekend in August is perfecto.
