Congratulations dude. Got any pics?

I think you should have mentioned NORTHwestern. There's a lot to the western side of the state (for those of us south of 80).

I was thinking you might be close, but you're closer to Chicago than St. Louis...from which I live an hour north.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot of riders up in your neck of the woods.
