NEW LEADER--NICE RIDE--HOSPICE RIDE

While Bob and Dennis were up in Boulder Junction doing a lot of fishing and not much catching, the Wednesday Night Riders led by Jim & Cathy had a nice run.

Here's his report and some photos.

On a cool cloudy  Wednesday night Howard, Dave H, Al, Irv,  Jim, and  Cathy set out to see if we could make it to Boscobel and back without getting wet. Took Hwy 9 to Lansing, crossed the dike into Wisconsin and proceeded south on 35 through Ferryville.  Picked up Hobbs Hollow Road which connects to E. Followed E through Steuben and eventually ended up at Kwik Trip in Boscobel for our break. I noticed a lot more bugs hitting the windshield and my helmet after Steuben. The gnats are back and really annoying when you stop. So after a rather short break we mounted up and proceeded to 133, then Co C , back to 18 through Prairie. Had to dodge a pile of deer on C. They may have more than we do! Took 76 to Harpers road, then back home on the Elon road. We did notice some showers to the north west on the way into Waukon but didn't even get a sprinkle. Howard said he showed 126 miles on the odometer. It was a nice ride.

The Winneshiek Medical Hospice Ride is going to take place on Sunday, June 9th.  This is an event that WNR has supported since its start.  Nancy helps organize the event and there is always a good ride and good food.  There will be a free will breakfast at the Winneshiek Medical Center cafeteria from 9 AM to 10:30 and the ride leaving the center at 10:30.  Both cars and bikes are welcome.  More details in the next post, but make plans to attend.
