The first Training Wheels Not Included Bike Ride was a success this past Saturday. Although the wind played havoc with the participants all finished the route with smiles and happy spirits.
The route was just shy of 26 miles. We had 10 bicyclists and 9 bicycles cruising the back roads of Dane and Columbia counties. It was nice to see a group of people who don't normally pedal long distances challenge themselves with this ride. Most of the participants said it was the longest distance they've ever pedaled in one day! Great Job!
Congratulations to Amanda, Brock, Deb, Jamie, Lee, Nicholas, Randy, Ryan, Sy, and Todd for taking off the training wheels and going for a long bicycle ride!
Unfortunately...no one took pictures of the ride! Very bad planning on the part of the head organizer :-(
Mid to late summer is a great time of year to get a bike ride in. Typically, the evenings are very calm and if you hold-out long enough you are able to get a glimpse of some beautiful sunsets.
