DOZEN SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM

 Our impromptu ice cream run attracted a dozen Wednesday Night Riders this Sunday afternoon.  Howard, Darron, Jim, and Al showed up on bikes, while Darrel, Ron & Helen, Chuck (not Chuckles), and Bob & Julie were on trikes.  Irv & Chris drove up in their support Corvette convertible.  

HOWARD STAYS IN THE SHADE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE

YEP, IT'S TIME FOR SHORTS

IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG FOR THE 'VETTE TO WARM UP

AL SAYS HE CAN TASTE THAT ICE CREAM ALREADY

Departing under sunny skies and temps in the upper 80's, we headed towards Lansing on HWY 9 (Helen's favorite road).  After arriving in Lansing, we crossed the Black Hawk bridge into Wisconsin and took HWY 35 south through Ferryville.  Outside of Ferryville we found CR C and headed east until we arrived at HWY 27.  Following 27 south we passed through Fairview and Mt. Sterling before turning back east on CR S.  A scenic ride along CR S took us through Petersburg and we soon arrived at HWY 61 and headed back south again.  HWY 61 took us to our destination in Boscobel where we stopped for ice cream treats at Udder Brothers Creamery.

CHRIS MAKES A BEE LINE FOR THE SHADE

WE PARKED NEXT TO A GIANT COW

AND A GIANT TURKEY

We learned from one of Udder Brothers owners that the vast variety of ice cream flavors were actually produced by WW Homestead Dairy of Waukon!  

After enjoying ice cream and malts, we backtracked through Boscobel and back onto HWY 61 for a short jog onto CR E at Easter Rock.  CR E took us on a scenic ride west passing through Steuben (all roads lead to Steuben) and all the way back to HWY 35 north at Lynxville.  We followed 35 back through Ferryville to HWY 82 where we again crossed the bridge over the Mississippi into Lansing.  I'm sure we disappointed Helen by not taking HWY 9 back to Waukon, we took Lansing/Harpers Road and Elon Road instead.  We had 129 miles on the trike when we arrived in Waukon.

UPCOMING EVENTS

If you didn't make it on Sunday, or didn't get enough ice cream in Boscobel, you will have another chance.  The plan for Wednesday night's ride right now is to venture down to Guttenberg and sample the ice cream treats at Joe's.  That's always a nice ride and good eats!

NEXT SATURDAY is another RTE.  The plan is to ride over to Larry's Lookout Bar & Grill near Arcadia, WI.  This was formerly Hanson's Holdup Bar that we had traveled to a number of times.  This place always has had good food and has one of the best views in the entire state.  We will leave Casey's at 10:30 AM on Saturday.  Everyone is welcome!
