13 BUCKNUCKLERS

Thirteen of the Wednesday Night Riders took off from Casey's at 10 AM on Sunday heading for Bucknuckles Bar in scenic Praag, Wisconsin.  Departing under cloudy skies were Dennis & Marlene and Wayne M & Elaine in the support vehicle along with Wayne F & Sandy and Meryle & Mary on trikes, Jim & Cathy on their Wing, and Lois, Carl, and Bob R on bikes.  As soon as we got out of Iowa on HWY 76, the weather turned warm, sunny, and bright for the rest of the trip.  We traveled through Winona up and back to avoid all the construction going on near LaCrescent.  It was about 225 miles round trip with fantastic weather, good food, great scenery, and fun times.  We missed Julie who was at a class reunion, Chuckles who was on call, and Joyce (Carl said she had a hangover from her birthday party!).

Here's some shots from Bob and Lois.
