NC-WI, South Kettle Moraine Ride
Join us at the Delafield McDonalds (Hwy 83 & I-94 west of Waukesha) at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 21, 2012, for a nice ride through the South Kettle Morraine. We’ll stop for lunch in Whitewater, loop back up to the Holy Hill area, and wrap up the ride by about 4:00 p.m.
Well, I wasn't the only one there.
Dave picked a great sunny, chilly day to lead out merry band. Buzz from Middleton pulled in behind me at the Wales BP gas station and introduced himself as we gassed up beforehand. We went up the hill to find Larry from Big Bend waiting at the McDonalds'.
Jake and Matt, friends of Dave's riding other cycles, joined us there. Then Cary from Green Bay pulled in on his C-10 in his new-to-him blue Aerostitch with heated gloves and vest. He came well prepared.
In general, Dave took us around Silver Lake near Oconomowoc, then through the countryside to Watertown, down to Fort Atkinson via a stretch of Hwy 26, and then back and forth into Whitewater.
We enjoyed a visit to Randy's Restaurant and Fun Hunter's Brewery for Lunch. None of the onsite brew products were sampled but we did have good sandwiches.
A couple of us needed to gas up after lunch. The day was nice and sunny and a bit warmer (48F) away from Lake Michigan.
We zipped around Whitewater Lake and environs there. After a bunch of scenic views, none of which I captured on my cell phone while riding, we came upon Hwy 12. Larry left the group to head home for babysitting duties. The group got split as Dave led Buz, Matt, and Jake to the west toward Madison. Cary and I headed up Hwy 67 north to Plymouth where we took a gas break. Cary continued up to De Pere and home while I made my way south down "curvy" Hwy 57 to Greenfield. I put 239 miles on the bike and a big grin on my face today.
thanks, Dave !!!
