Well damn Jer! I wish I'd known you were gonna be in my area. I was out on Sunday, 2up, in that area on Sunday. We had a nice 200 mile ride before the storm set in. How did you like that wind? Riding in a northerly direction was kinda strange with the wind blowing due north. It was SO quiet on the bike riding north, no wind noise at all, just the sound of the bike and the tires. Riding south, as you must have been, was another story as was riding east/west or west/east. Had to lean way over in the straight-a-ways. lol
We headed out by the Mississippi river and did some nice roads out that way too. All in all it was a great day.
Savanahs a nice area and there are some good roads to ride out that way, especially up towards Galena and on the west side of the river.
Did you guys stop at Poopys? They have the best wings there.
Yup we went to poopy's (I ate the big poopy),
and the road was in Joe Daviess county, I know the county because I got acqauinted with a Sheriff's deputy and it only cost me $120. I am not sure what the name of the road was but it starts in Savanah going up a steep hill and as I was passing a church I got clocked at 113 in a 55. Luckily he got me while I was coasting to let the 109's catch back up. He saw my post decal and cut me a break and wrote me for 75 in a 55.

Next time you all are up in that area ride 136 out of Clinton up to Dyersville, IA. You can check out the Field of Dreams from the movie there. The Ertl Company (makers of die cast toys) offers a tour as well. Grom there you can loop through Dubuque and cross the river to Galena. Good eats in Galena. Road from Galena to Savanah (CRS here, maybe 86? Part of the Great River Road) is good all the way to Savanah. The daring might take the bridge from Savanah back aross into Iowas to Sabula, Iowa's Island City. Neat causeway where you can see egrits nesting ans sometimes bald eagles. rom Sabula through Bellevue back to Clinton isn't a bad ride either.
You don't wanna ride that bridge when it's wet.
LOTS of wildlife in that area for sure. Watch out for the lovebugs in Sabula.
There aint no good curvy roads in Obama land!!!!! Cruisers..........yuck!

The a$$hole should stopped you just to say thanks for your service!
I consider my self very fortunate only getting a $120 ticket instead of being arrested for "reckless" driving. I was over double the limit so he had every right to slap the "bracelets" on me and haul me in. I took the risk and got caught, I could have ran since I was over a half mile ahead but I knew that I needed to pull over and not take any more chances.
