Ohhhh....can't wait to see the Rally Tee designs. Sign me up fer 2.
OH! All interested parties, I've got my itinerary all set out: Will be leaving my hometown on 7/4/12. I just couldn't do the 4 lane slab (I35) thing (too boring a ride...if ya know what I mean), so have opted to take US65 N (mostly 2 lane)  into Des Moines. I'll overnight @ the Travlodge. Will head out 7/5/12 to Westby WI, via Iowa City (more 2 lane) .
If any of the mems from the Des Moines area would like to convoy into Westby PM me with your contact info to work out the logistics. 
Edited to correct dates: Thanks Scot...darn, I hates them typos! Thank God I have spellcheck at work!

Hey Buff, I think you're going to get there about 3 months early! Not to mention the whole time travel thing, I know the black ones are fast and all, but not that fast!

 Yep, well Scott I didn't wanna wait til the last minute to get my act together for the ride up to Westby. It's only 63 days to until my vacation starts anyhoo, & it pays to plan ahead!
Now where did I put that pesky flux capacitor?

Lol, just busting your chops. You said you were leaving 4/4/12 instead of 7/4/12.
If I were out that way I'd ride in with ya, but I'll be coming from the other direction.

So you're cruising out on Wednesday? That's cool. So how many hours will that be going up for you? Just curious. Should be a great ride.
The quickest route on google maps shows about 8.5 hours from St. Louis. I'm going to just slab it and roll out of STL around 6am or so. I fully intend on speeding and plan to get there sooner than the expected time.

Chris, From the KC metro (I am just a bit east of there) the ride up US65 to Des Moines will run about 3 hrs....not including pit stops & such & I ain't gonna be in any hurry for sure. Thursday the route that Larry has laid out will take us about 7+ hours & it's all 2 lane.
In total 10 hrs on the road just to get there for me. Glad I'm gonna overnight in Des Moines & hoping to get an early start Thursday as well.  But that depends on Larry....I'm thinkin a 6 or 7 a.m. start sounds okay.
If I took the shortest route on Google it would run just over 8 hrs on the road (KC to Westby) I will probably be running the slab all the home Sunday the 8th.

ladisney is in Des Moines, and has a pretty killer two laner planned out. It takes highway 65 north to me in Iowa Falls, then angles over to the LaCrosse area.
