This week the ride is a little strange.  The group I ride with from the East side is doing a hilly century.  They are meeting on the East side, but I will be meeting them on the SW commuter path near Mickie's Dairy Bar at 7:10 am on Sunday.  If you want a very hilly ride--8,000 feet of elevation gain in about 100 miles--feel free to come along.  We won't be going too fast--about 16mph with a couple stops included.  If you join the ride, come prepared.  Tubes, pump, patchkit, sunscreen, food, money, and a map!  We will first hit Mt.Horeb and then will meander to Blue Mounds park followed by hilly winding before heading back.

Tomorrow we'll be doing a long, slow, distance ride.  Heading out from Harbor at 7am, we'll head North to Devil's Lake and back.  We will be taking the most direct route which has us riding the ferry.  The total mileage is about 75 miles from Harbor.  We won't be going fast, just enjoying the scenery.  Water is an issue on this route.  The really only good spot to refill is in Devil's Lake.  It's going to be quite warms and very sunny--prepare yourself and bring a map if you need to cut off or shorten the ride.
