ALL ROADS LEAD TO STEUBEN--RIB RUN--HOSPICE RUN--JIM RETIREMENT

Our finest Wednesday night so far found lucky number 13 WNR gathered at Casey's for a ride to Steuben.  With Bob Z, Howard, Gary, Larry,  Jim & Cathy and Bob R on two-wheelers, Meryle & Mary and Wayne & Sandy on trikes, and Dale & JoAnn in the support vehicle.

IT'S FINALLY WARM ENOUGH FOR WAYNE & SANDY

JoAnn's FIRST WEDNESDAY--IN SUPPORT VEHICLE

GARY TRADES A MOWER FOR A BIKE!!

THE "LUCKY" THIRTEEN

On our journey to Steuben we traveled through Rossville, Monona, Froelich, Giard, Marquette, Prarie du Chein, and Eastman.  When we arrived in Steuben, we ventured into Jo's Country Bar for refreshments.

OUR GROUP ARRIVES IN STEUBEN DOUBLING THE POPULATION

After leaving Steuben we took CR E to HWY 27 and on through Seneca where they are advertising a strawberry supper served with roast beef on the side!  Mount Sterling came next where we turned west on HWY 171 and arrived at HWY 35 just outside of Ferryville.  On through Ferryville and Lansing and then into Waukon and Gus & Tony's where we joined by Stephanie (Jim & Cathy's daughter ) and her son (Jim & Cathy's grandson).  Bugsy also showed up.  I had about 115 miles on the Wing pulling into G&T's.

NAKED RIB RUN

Our first RTE ride is Saturday to the Bagley Hotel for "naked" rib night.  If you don't want the "all you can eat" ribs, other items are on the menu.  But if you do want ribs, we need to let them know how many are coming.  Bob R will be calling in reservations on Friday morning.  Right now I have Dennis & Marlene, Wayne & Sandy, Jim & Cathy, and Meryle & Mary going.  If you want to ride along and want ribs, then you need to let Bob R (563-568-7277) know by Friday morning.  We will be leaving Casey's at 4:30 Saturday afternoon.  We will be back before dark with bellies full of ribs or other good food!

JIM S RETIREMENT PARTY

HOSPICE RIDE
This Sunday is the Winneshiek Medical Hospice Ride starting at the Inwood in Spillville with a breakfast and then a ride coming back to Spillville for an afternoon lunch.  I plan on leaving Casey's at 9:30 that morning and riding over to Spillville, so anyone wishing ride along is certainly welcome!  Nancy helps organize this ride, so let's show our usual WNR support!

YOU WILL NEED A NEW LEADER NEXT WEDNESDAY, AS DENNIS AND BOB R WILL BE UP IN BOULDER JUNCTION, WISCONSIN, HAMMERING SMALL MOUTH BASS.
