Mystery Ride Takes Us to Home Agin's

 Our mystery ride on Saturday attracted 15 Wednesday Night Riders.  Roger and Al were the only ones on bikes, while Darrel,Meryle & Mary, Wayne & Sandy, Gary & Gloria, and Bob & Julie put butts on trikes.  We also had David & Suzanne and Ken & Gloria supply the support convertibles.

THE WINNESHIEK CONTINGENT

YES, KEN, IT DOES TAKE GAS

DAVID SAYS "THE ONLY MYSTERY SO FAR IS WATCHING KENNY GET GAS!"

AND THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR GELO'S

Departing Casey's under sunny skies and temps in the 70's, we headed out on the Elon Road with Bob being the only one who knew the mystery.  The Elon Road took us to the Lansing/Harpers Road and down into Harpers Ferry.  From there we took the River Road south to HWY 76 where apparently the state got a good deal on "chip seal".  76 took us down to Marquette where we had a short wait for the light to turn green so we could cross the bridge being repaired. Now at least the rest of the crew knew at least the mystery was in Wisconsin.

We passed through Prairie du Chien on HWY 18 and followed it to CR C after passing over the Wisconsin River bridge.  Turning east on C, we skirted along the river on a scenic journey to HWY 133 and headed back south.  Now everyone knew the mystery was not in PDC.

HWY 133 took us south to HWY 18/35 and then a short jog to CR J and into Mt. Hope where our mystery was solved.  We would be having our eats at a friendly spot called Home Agin's.

WE DOUBLE THE POPULATION OF MT HOPE

PLENTY OF CONVERTIBLE PARKING IN THE BIG CITY

When we entered Home Agin's we found out that the Saturday night special was all the homemade pizza you can eat for $4.  While not everyone ordered the pizza, I can only tell you that it was the best $4 homemade pizza I have ever tasted!  Home Agin's also provided great service.

THE HOMEMADE PIZZA TAKES A HIT

TABLE #2 AGREES

After our fill of pizza and the other delicious food, we departed Mt. Hope heading south on CR J.  After frightening a herd of goats on a roadside farm, we came to CR A and turned west into Bloomington.  From there we followed HWY 133 back to HWY 18 near Patch Grove and cruised on it back through PDC, across the bridge, back through Marquette, Giard, Froelich, Monona, and on into Luana. Our Winneshiek riders kept going on towards Postville.  The rest of us then took Diplomat/Forest Mills Road back to Yellow River Road and the Gelo ranch, where Wayne & Sandy departed for home.  A ways further down Forest Mills, Gary & Gloria turned off to their home.  Continuing on to HWY 76 and into Waukon, I had 133 miles on the trike.  Good weather, great food, good company, great scenery!
