Suicide Century #14. June 9 2012A challenging 1 day bike ride. | |
|---|
LogisticsWho? A healthy group of cycling enthusiasts... What? ready to take on a leisurely 100-ish mile ride through a very scenic (hilly) tour through southwest Wisconsin. When? June 9th, 2012 starting promptly at 8:00 am. Late comers should plan to ride fast. Where? Prairie du Chien, WI. Start and Finish at Lawler Park, on the Mississippi riverfront on St Feriole Island. Why? Why not? How? The course is a convenience store hopping route, with no more than 22 miles between places to re-fuel and/or rest. Prolonged resters will likely be ridiculed (but politely) by the purveyors. And we'll carry all the tubes we need. There's still an official liability waiver. And we're serious about that part. It's available here. Special for 2012: Finish line party at Cajun Fest, on St Feriole Island in Prairie du Chien. Good eats. Beer tent. FAQ: 1. Why so early this year??? Answer: Due to abnormal weather conditions, July is predicted to be exceptionally hot this year. Mom says no long bike rides when its hot out. June 9 is going to be mostly sunny and 73 degrees, with a light tailwind all day. 2. Is there still time to get ready for a hilly 100 mile ride? Answer: Yes. Ride 100 miles tomorrow, ice whatever hurts, rest up for June 9. Snazzy catchphrase here. It's gonna be hilly. There's gonna be nice weather. Let's keep this thing rolling. Happy cycling. |
