Our longest day

May 31, 2024

50 miles

A long beautiful day. Many miles on the Glacial Drumlin Trail, then some short sections on local trails, winding up on the Hank Aaron Trail in Milwaukee. Nancy was driving the support van and picked out a nice park with rest rooms for our lunch stop. On a longer day life this it’s nice to have a lunch break. I met an interesting couple who ride aDavinci tandem. Interesting because their pedaling is not synched. One can rest while the other pedals or they can pedal at different rates. Never saw a tandem like that.

Our snack stop! Van with lunch was still a bit away. There was a bench just to my left where…

John choosing his snack: peanut butter crackers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, cheese sticks, triscuits, oats and honey bats, peanuts, hard boiled egg, and more-quite a choice.

In many towns there are huge murals to decorate blank walls. This was one in Deerfield Wisconsin.

Sometimes the amazing view isn’t a nature thing but an amazing man made thing.

An example of one of the many county roads we ride on. No shoulder but no traffic.

I bet you can guess what kind of store we were entering.

Whistles blowing, lights flashing. And gate lowered let us know the train was coming!

Today's ride: 53 miles (85 km)
Total: 193 miles (311 km)
