Saturday, June 7? We're planning our second out-of-state trip to the exotic area north of Illinois called Wisconsin. Last year it poured on us for most of the morning and the trail was muddy and flooded. In other words, it was the highlight of the summer! The plan was to ride 30-50 miles along the trails near New Glarus, and we ended up doing around 40 which through the mud is quite an accomplishment. Imagine riding on a soft sandy beach for 40 miles. And no, we didn't visit the brewery. But we will plan to visit the brewery this year. |

Friday-Saturday, July 11-12 We had so much fun the past two years, despite one being too hot and one almost too cool. This year we expect to have indescribably perfect weather as we make our third annual trip from Plainfield to Starved Rock State Park along the I and M Canal Trail. We'll leave early Friday morning, camp that night, then carpool home in the morning after breakfast in the lodge. |

July and August Toward mid to late summer, schedules start to get really busy. Last year we never managed to attempt our first century ride. That's right: 100 miles. Actually about 106 with the route we had planned. This year a member or two is also considering a week-long ride in Missouri for a round trip along the entire Katy Trail, which would be about 450-475 miles. So we'll see how things go this year. In the meantime, please, if you are interested in either of these bigger events, please speak up! |
