SHE GIVES US A BREAK--GUYS' TRIP--NEW LEADER

After an all day, off and on rain, things began to look a lot better around 5:30, so five of us gathered at Casey's hoping to finally get in another Wednesday night ride.  We had all bikes this time with Howard, Bob Z (who??), Jim & Cathy, and Bob R ready to ride.

WHO'S THIS GUY??!!

JIM TELLING HOWARD ABOUT PUTTING IN BOB'S NEW LIGHTS

After looking at the radar and seeing blue skies to the north, that's the way we headed.  However, before we got out of town, we were joined by another Bob (Bob H).  So now we have six people and three Bobs.  We headed up HWY 76 north to Eitzen and then turned east on Pool Hill Road and down into New Albin.  At New Albin we picked up HWY 26 and headed north again along the river with sunny skies and 76 degrees.  After going through Brownsville, we took CR 7 west over to Hokah for our break at Kwik Trip.

"THIS IS HOW YOU GRIP THE HANDLEBARS ON MY BIKE"

After the break we took HWY 44 through Hokah, Caledonia, and into Spring Grove.  Just outside of Spring Grove we took CR 8 (Locust Road) south to A 26 (Bear Creek Road) east back over to HWY 76 and south into Waukon and Gus & Tony's.  We racked up about 115 miles on what turned out to be a real nice night.

GUY'S TRIP 
On Monday five of us (Howard, Jim, Chuckles, Bob, and Clair R) will be heading for the Pig Trail in Arkansas.  We will be back on Saturday, but you will need a new leader on Wednesday night.

Also, the day after Bob R gets back from Arkansas, he will be boarding a plane for Anchorage, Alaska, and will be gone for two weeks.  So you will need a new leader for those two Wednesdays also.  The good news is that Jim will probably lead on one of those Wednesdays, and he has lined up a new "support vehicle" just in case.  See below.
