ALL TYPES OF RIGS TO BAGLEY--PIZZA RUN SUNDAY

Fourteen riders lined up in five different types of rides to head on the Bagley loop on Wednesday.  With temps in the low 80's and a clearing sky, Larry, Chuckles, Lois, Al, and Bob R brought their bikes.  Ron & Helen and Darrel were on trikes, while Greg (first Wednesday night ride) cruised in on his Spyder.  Dale was in the support convertible and Bernell (newbie) rolled in on a Slingshot (a first for our Wednesday nights).

GOOD TO SEE GREG & THE YELLOW SPYDER AGAIN
HELEN JOINS US AGAIN



We took off down HWY 76 and Forest Mills Road where we picked up Jim & Cathy on the outskirts of the Gelo ranch.  Forest Mills Road took us into Luana and onto HWY 18 heading east through Monona, Giard, Froelich, Marquette, and into Prarie du Chien.  Outside of Prairie we turned west onto CR C and passed through parts of Wyalusing State Park and onto CR X.  X took us along a very muddy Wisconsin River and through Wyalusing and into Bagley.  In Bagley we found CR A heading east again and then onto CR VV and CRV over to North Andover where we stopped at MC Sports Bar & Grill for our break.

WE ARRIVE IN NORTH ANDOVER


MC ALSO SELLS TIRES BESIDES RUNNING A BAR & GRILL

A CLOSE INSPECTION OF BERNELL'S SLINGSHOT

EVEN THE CATS ARE LAID BACK IN NORTH ANDOVER!
After getting drinks and observing the ongoing card game, we departed MC's on CR V and took the roller coaster part of this county road over to CR U.  U took us north onto HWY 35 and we followed it through Bloomington and Patch Grove to HWY 18 heading west.  18 took us back through PDC and over to the Volney Road in Monona.  VR passed us on through Rossville and onto HWY 76 north (Terry E Branstad Memorial South) and into Waukon and Gus & Tony's where Bugsy joined us.  We were treated to a "sun dog" in the sunset on the way back.  I guess it's unusual to see them in the summer.  After some discussion Dale absolutely refused to share his cheese curds with his in-laws.  I had about 130 miles on the Wing parked outside of G&T's.

"YOU GOTTA LOVE SUMMER" Pizza Run is Sunday.  We will leave Casey's at 11 AM on Sunday.  The plan is to eat pizza at the Village Square in Fountain, MN.

Yucatan Road
Last Wednesday on our way to "Thumper" Road, we took CR 4 through Yucatan to Houston.  Cathy took the following photo of our group.


Highways 9 and 76
As many of you know, my "pet peeves" are the conditions of Highway 9 from Waukon to Lansing and Highway 76 from Waukon to Marquette.  Out of frustration, I sent an e-mail to our legislative representative, Anne Osmundson, telling her that the signs shown in the photo need to be placed along these two highways.

  
I'm anxious to hear her response!
