This mini rally is a pay your own way event. It is open to both members and non-members. The rally is an overnight ride out to Houston, MN the weekend of May 3rd. We are going to ride up Friday morning, camp out at a cabin/campground, ride the area Saturday and head home Sunday morning.

We'll meet Friday morning May 3rd at the Craig Woods Executive Golf Club parking lot at the intersection of 176 and 47 in Crystal Lake. Everyone should have topped off their gas tanks. There will be a rider's briefing at 8:30 am with kickstands up at 9:00 Sharp. It is a 257 miles and 6-7 hours via the scenic route, mostly in the Driftless region.

We will be camping at Money Creek Haven. https://moneycreekhaven.com They offer both tent camping and cabin rooms. It is located in the Minnesota Memorial Hardwood State Forest.

Below is a link to the Saturday ride route.

https://driftlessroadadventures.com site to plan a route works out well. They have a ride that goes right through Money Creek. https://driftlessroadadventures.com/route-index/highway-16-route/ It's about a 250 mile loop. It looks like a lot of fun.

We could head out on the Saturday ride @ 9:00 am or so. There are a lot of points of interest along the route. So this would put us back at Money Creek Haven @ mid to late afternoon, depending on how much time we spend on points of interest.

Saturday night would be a campfire kinda night and we would head back Sunday morning.
