Shipping route?

Does anyone know the route our cars will take to get to our part of the country, particularly Minnesota?

For any other Minnesotans: the car leave Mexico from the Veracruz port and makes it's way up the east coast to Baltimore. From there it's a truck to the dealer.

Good to know. How long after final assembly did it take for it to hit the dealer?

A long time. I don't recall exactly but like 2 months. It took about a month to get through the RFT (ready for transport) status. Once it was on a boat it was about 3 weeks until delivery.

Gotcha. Thanks. I just hope it gets here before the snow hits.

Are you going to daily yours during the winter? If so, what are you getting for tires and wheels?

Also: I was able to send PMs, but now I can’t. Are you going to the park this week to bike?

Not sure yet if I'll daily it this winter. Of the snows I had on the 135 the Michelin xice were the best by far. If I do get snows I'll get another set of those. Not sure about wheels - haven't looked seriously yet.

Yes, planning to be at the MTB trailhead with the M2 again Thursday. Usually get there about 5, stay for a few hours (including post ride refreshments).

Awesome. I’ll aim to be there at 5.

Chet, what time do you typically end your ride? I have to stay late at work today and was wondering if I could come on the back end.

We generally ride 5-6, then hang out for a while after.

We'll be in one of the lots nearest Shady Oak road.
