Weekend on Wheels 2007 Info

A helpful aid to this info is the UW Superior Campus Map.

Logding Info
1. For those staying in the dorms, we have been assigned Ross Hall at UW Superior. A map and directions at at the end of this post.

2. Check-in for Friday night will be from 5-8:00 PM. If you need to check in later than that, please call Julie at 651-253-2493 to make arrangements. We will try to accomodate.

3. Check-in for Saturday night will be available at Saturday’s ride start. It looks like everyone looking for Saturday-only lodging will be riding. Again, if you need other arrangements, please call Julie.

4. If you are staying Friday only, check out can be after you shower Saturday afternoon. I’ll let you know where to drop off your key when we have you check-in.

5. Sunday check-out should be by 3:00.

Ride Start

2. We will be starting from the parking lots across from Rothwell Student Center. For those staying at UW Superior, these lots are directly across from our breakfast location.

3. Leader briefing will begin at 9:30. We will start each route as a group together. TCBC leaders will be riding with each group.

  1. Hi Julie and other WOW organizers,
    Thanks for all your work on WOW!
    I’m looking for a potential ride-sharer, leaving Minneapolis or St. Paul between 4-7 PM Friday evening. (I’d be coming from my work, Hwys 280 and 94. Is there a list of people signed up for Friday dorm lodging?
    Thanks,
    Carolyn

  2. Hi Julie Kosbab and Julie VanMersbergen:

    Thanks for getting back to me regarding my inquiry about driving to WOW this weekend. I still have room for one more WOW rider to join us on the ride to the north shore, and UW Superior.
