For those interested in taking a road trip to Mason City, Friday will be the suggested day for that.  We could try to caravan up there, but it's probably easiest for everyone to be on their own for travel as well as activities in Mason City.  The one exception is that we think it would be fun to meet at Birdsall's about 1:00PM.

It's a straight-forward drive to Mason City.  Mapquest says it's 2 hours and 1 minute from the hotel to 1727 S. Carolina in Mason City.  It's all 4 lane divided highway except a mile or 2 in Waterloo.

Friday evening's meal will be optional/on your own, but we will pick an eating place for those that want to meet.  Right now we're considering the Pedaler's Fork.
