Almost- official course
map is posted.
This is just a bunch of people out for a challenging bike ride in a very scenic part of southwest Wisconsin.
The course has not yet been stamped as 'official' but some preliminary road tests have begun for 2009.
What? ready to take on a leisurely 126 mile ride (with supported shortcuts making it as little as 67 miles) through
a very scenic (hilly) tour through southwest Wisconsin.
When? July 18th, 2009 starting promptly at 8:00 am. Late comers risk not getting food along the way.
Where? Prairie du Chien, WI. Start and Finish at Lawler Park, on the Mississippi riverfront on St Feriole Island.
Why? Why not?
How? There are 4 fully-staffed rest stops, roughly every 22 miles. The shorter distance options
also visit all the rest stops.
How much? We can put this whole thing together for a cool $30, or discounted to $25 if you want to pass on the custom-made fancy t-shirt. Fully supported ride, sag service, self-proclaimed expert
bike mechanics (and maybe even a professional), lawyers on site to help get an early jump on litigation, and a spaghetti
feast at the end of the ride. Hard to beat.
How many? We should be breaking our previous record of 25 riders. We're ready for up to 100. Sign up! Bring a friend.
Previous propaganda:
Starting and ending in historic, scenic and hilly Prairie du Chien WI.
What is in store for the 11th annual ride? Well let's see here...
* Fully staffed rest stops. No longer do speedsters need to worry about getting through in front of the sag wagon.
* Great weather-- forecast not yet available but you can just tell when its going to be nice.
* The route is tentatively set, and we're heading to Boydtown! Alas, scenic Boydtown Hollow is just not
well suited to road bikes, but we can get to town on the nicely paved Pleasant Ridge road.
This is a fully supported ride-- rest/ food/ water/ sports drink stops are every 17 - 26 miles. Sag wagons, mechanical support, and perhaps even some emotional encouragement are all supplied.
126 scenic miles through small town Wisconsin and beautiful river valleys. Some shorter distance
options available as well, starting at about 67 miles and up from there. Spaghetti dinner waiting at the finish line.
