Reminder: JAY will be leading our first Fast+ Supper Club Ride from the Bristol Woods remote start on Sunday. We will meet at 11:30 am. in Bristol Woods County Park and ride 66 miles of rolling hills and remote roads with 3 rest stops. We will end the ride back at Bristol Woods parking lot, change into our civilian clothes and drive to dine at the Colony House Supper Club. Let Jay or myself know if you will be joining us. Details below.
Sun. 8/13 Remote Start, F+, 66 miles, 11:30 am. start
I will lead an afternoon ride this
Sunday from Bristol Woods County Park to Lyons
WI. I'll be going in the opposite direction
then most of the rides this year, and on a slightly different
route. Since we will be starting late in the day, there won't be
a stop tor a sit down lunch during the ride. There will still be
3 rest stops and all have some sort of food available. This will
be a beautiful hilly ride in rural Wisconsin with a few
small towns, some horses, cows, and barns along the way.
There are a couple of roads I've never been on before, so
there could be a last minute surprise.
The real purpose of the ride is to go to the Colony House Supper
Club for dinner, which is on the route for many club rides in
the area. It has intrigued me for years because it's in the
middle of nowhere, and looks frozen in time. The restaurant is about a 20 minute drive from
the Park.
