Some of you know Curt. It's with a very heavy heart to inform of his passing during the MN1K yesterday. Apparently Curt collided with a horse trailer in the mid afternoon. No other details are available.
Curt was a devoted LD rider and perennial participant of the big rallies (Iron Butt). Curt rode a Honda ST1300 so I had contact with him on multiple occasions and various internet forums. I learned many technical details about LD riding and gadgetry from Curt.
I wish I knew more detail. Curt was a very good rider, but did not carry any bravado about LD riding. He knew it was risky and treated LD riding very seriously, which makes his passing all that more harder to understand.
RIP Waffle Boy.

I am tentatively planning but it's still fluid. Most likely it will be a down and back in same day.

I'm planning on going (down and back on Saturday), there are a few people from the ST-Owners group going down from here as well we could try to meet up with. I get the sense (just from an email) that they might "straight-line" it down there and I'd prefer to leave earlier and wind my way down, although I'm quite open to different options, especially if the weather isn't good. I was kinda thinking of this google map route (https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Cottage+Grove,+MN&daddr=44.3963056,-91.883574+to:44.364488,-91.800854+to:44.221565,-91.6814211+to:44.1438581,-91.5875567+to:44.003183,-91.0988651+to:43.8446803,-91.1060925+to:La+Crosse,+WI&hl=en&ll=44.390617,-92.216492&spn=1.958743,4.078674&sll=43.84047,-91.191673&sspn=0.247134,0.509834&geocode=FWEErAIdMsp1-im_2gy9AdD3hzESQ-gzdPz7Cg%3BFRFvpQIdyveF-imBO-5_wVT4hzGEsSWo567Rcw%3BFcjypAId6jqH-ilr8kDvRQD5hzF2mFOTB7R6bw%3BFX3EogIdcw2J-inV1Vtk5A_5hzGLa6qbW4oMxQ%3BFfKUoQIdHHyK-ikB42XqEhT5hzE_kIlutwq7dg%3BFW9vnwIdD_GR-impl2-2J7H-hzEAaXGqQECRaQ%3BFUgEnQId1NSR-ikxl0suI6n-hzGjtSbA_x5_AQ%3BFQxbnAIdY8uP-imVszJn31T5hzGwIjcZFYipfw&oq=cottag&mra=dpe&mrsp=6&sz=12&via=1,2,3,4,5,6&t=m&z=9), I checked it yesterday via the satellite view and I am pretty sure it's all paved.
