Rochester, Minnesota road meet: November 7, 2026

[Nikolai]

This fall, I'll be hosting a road meet to check out the sights of Rochester and southeast Minnesota, such as the new I-90/Highway 52 interchange and the Zumbrota Covered Bridge. Let me know above which dates work for you.

[Rothman]

Oof...I'd love to make it, but my travel budget is squeezed as is.  I see you're keeping in mind the CA meet, though.

[jpi]

I doubt I can make it but I casted my vote 

[paulthemapguy]

That new interchange at I-90 and US Route 52 stopped me from completing my clinch of US Route 52 last summer-- and I worked so hard on it! But that just means that a Rochester road meet sounds extra tasty to me right now, since I can use it as an excuse to finally finish Route 52! The date of this meet will determine when I take a week trip to clinch some of US14 and routesnap the east half of South Dakota, since the road meet will be rolled into the front end of that trip.

Well shit, that's a day trip. See you there.

[dvferyance]

I am seriously interested in going to this one.

[getemngo]

Definitely not October 3 for me. But beyond that, I won't know until I have my surgery schedule later this month.

[A.J. Bertin]

It's not likely that I'll be able to attend this meet, but I am interested and don't want to completely rule it out.  I did cast a vote, just in case.

Just to assuage any potential weather-related concerns from those who may have worries about MN snowstorms in November, it's unlikely that we will see any dangerous snow events that early. I would feel comfortable making any drives until around Thanksgiving.

Meh, yeah.  Rochester is far enough south.  It ain't Duluth.

[paulthemapguy]

The last week of October and first week of November will still be uncomfortably cold, even if it will probably not be cold enough to snow. The November date is an absolute no-go for me, in any case. I will definitely have other plans.

[Nikolai]

Saturday, November 7 will be our date for the Rochester road meet!

We'll meet for lunch at 11:30 at the Workshop Food Hall, and move to the nearby Fairgrounds Park & Ride at 12:30 to start the tour.

I'll share more details this summer.

[getemngo]

This is the best date for me, but I will likely have to play it by ear with my health.

[A.J. Bertin]

The likelihood that I attend this meet has increased quite a bit.  I'm giving myself about an 80% chance right now that I'll be there.   

[dvferyance]

My request off was approved so I am in for sure.

[Nikolai]

The Rochester road meet is happening in one month! Here's my plan for what we'll be seeing.

We'll meet for lunch at 11:30 at the Workshop Food Hall, and move to the nearby Fairgrounds Park & Ride at 12:30 to start the tour.

Let me know how many to expect by marking yourself in attendance on the Facebook event, or leave a comment here.

[A.J. Bertin]

I will be there!

[SSOWorld]

Ah, Flock it,

I be there.

[hbelkins]

Ah, Flock it,

I be there.

Are there any Flock cameras on the proposed tour route?

Not making it alas, but jealous. I have family from Pine Island, Zumbrota, Zumbro Falls, and Mazeppa (which isn't on the agenda, but surrounded by it). And my dad was born and raised in Lake City, not too far away.

There was on a couple of other road meets this year...
