We had a wonderful 4 day weekend with George & Sharon leading a Friday ride in Cambridge, WI. Larry, Sharon & Judy leading Sat., Sun., and Larry & Sharon on Mon.. The weather held but Friday and Monday winds were really something!
Only 2 flat tires, a little dog tried to attack Larry and bit Nancy R., we lost Joanne but some nice construction men helped us locate her, for a while we were part of the Madison marathon and had a cheering crowd!
The campground was only 4 miles away from the Residence Inn where most of us stayed in efficiency units, full breakfasts, pool, hot tub,excerise room and basketball court.
There were several dinner places within walking distance. We even had coupons for FREE beers!
Some of us saw the Market and Capital building Sat. morning before riding.
A great time was had by all!
Thank you to all our leaders and organizers!
My apologizes to those who weren't pictured .... Keith L., John & Diane ....
