Lunch Time! We left all our bikes unlocked and no one was worried.
Downtown Blanchardville Wisconsin
I had to get a picture of the remington 7 mag license plate- I grew up with a love of guns.
Some of the beautiful scenery we experienced
Ryan G- Thank you for orgainizing this great ride
Half way- Stop for some burgers, soda/beer and viewing of the tour. The people at this Platteville bar were super friendly and turned the tour on for us as soon as we walked it.
Tell me this doesn't make you want to ride your bike
This was the 4th annual Verona to Platteville and back ride. It was my first. The ride is nice for people training for Ironman Moo because of the hills and similarity of terrain. We rode a total of about 140 miles with Steph deciding to do a large hill session on her own.
We left about 7:20 a.m. from Fireman's Park in Verona. This was a great ride because the pace is fairly easy with full sag support from the Race Day Events Van.
Kitty from Fleet Feet Madison drove the first 70 miles and did a great job. She drove with hazards on and would double beep the horn every time a car was approaching.
The group spaced out pretty good with most people choosing to ride with two to three people rather than the whole group.
The route was truly pleasurable with very little traffic, enough hills to keep it interesting, and some wonderful scenery. This was my longest ride ever and my plan was to ride it and see what happened. I felt alright the whole way and was fortunate to finish the whole ride with no problems.
Everyone on the ride was very friendly and we all had an excellent time. Even though it took all day, everyone kept a positive attitude and enjoyed themselves along the way.
I would reccomend this ride to anyone for next year.
