WNR member bags a bear!


Dennis was able to bag this bear near the Blocker condo in Chetek recently.  No one knows for sure if the bear season was open or if he even had a license, but we'll promise not to tell anyone!!

Last Minute Rides

We had a couple of really nice days this past two weeks, so we had a couple of "unscheduled" rides during the week.  Last Tuesday, the 16th, Wayne M., Bob Z., David H., and I went on about a 200 mile jaunt into Wisconsin.  We actually followed some of the same route I used for the Couples Trip.  We even stopped for burgers at the 108 different ones at Dawg's in Mindoro.  They were good again!

On Wednesday, the 24th, David H, Meryle, and I traveled up near Houston and LaCrescent.  We had a nice lunch in Houston and rode down Tschumper Road (the most scenic three mile stretch of road in the tri-states) to Hokah and back through Caledonia on the newly completed HWY 44.  It was about a 150 mile trip.  Warm but not too sunny.  This time of year it's interesting to see some things you can't see when the leaves are on the trees!

We continue to ride on Wednesday nights as long as the weather and daylight hold up.  Last Wednesday, the 24th, Dave H, Jim S, Lars, and I rode up 76 to A 26, over to New Albin, and back down to Lansing and back to Waukon on 9.  We put on about 60 miles, but it gets dark in about an hour, so any of the upcoming Wednesday rides will be short.

LAST MINUTE RIDES

If the weather looks good on a particular upcoming day, and I decide I'm going to go on a ride, I'll post it here as to where and what time.  Anyone is welcome to come along with me!

Why there are so many deer hits

My friend sent me this radio commentary after he heard I hit a deer.  Hopefully you will get to listen to it if you click on the link I provided.  Enjoy!       Deer Hits

Chicken Run



We actually had 5 riders total on two separate dates.  Wayne & Wayne went on the original day and Meryle, Gary, and Bob went last Sunday, the 21st.  Nice ride (about 180 miles round trip), good chicken, good weather, good company.  Not near as many there, so no waiting.  Here's a couple of photos.

Photos from previous rides

I thought some of you who couldn't make it on some of the rides this summer might like to see some photos of our riders on those trips.  More will come later when I get better at this!
