Three Options for June 8: Long and Short Spring Valley Route OR Bike Path Hopefully with Links that Work
The Trifecta of cycling happiness- three routes to provide something for everyone. Warning: The full spring valley loop is one of the toughest rides we will conquer. Shy of Blue Mounds, we will hit the biggest hills west of Middleton. The full Spring Valley loop is roughly 40 miles. If you are seeking to cut off 10 or more miles, turn left on Pine, KP or Scherbel (see second link). These rides will leave PROMPTLY at 5:30.WE HAVE A THIRD OPTION FOR THOSE ON MOUNTAIN BIKES or just hoping to burn a few calories. Nurse Sully and Counselor Liz will be departing Free House at 6pm and cycling the bike path along Hwy 12. In addition to sharing their sun shinning personalties, they will address medical and legal needs as they may develop on the ride.Full Spring Valley LoopShort Spring Valley Loop

Drafter Magazine "Best Legs" Edition
The full moon brought out a full house of Drafters. We hit a season high (and the season is just warming up) of 14 riders. A special welcome to newbie Drafters Tracy, Jackie and Michelle. Drafter Magazine was on site, preparing for the annual Best Legs Edition. It was a tough decision, with many strong legs to choose from. Ultimately, a tie was declared between the Ice Queens. Cornell hockey standout, Tracy, and UW-Badger legend, Jackie went quad to quad, calf to calf, before agreeing to a tie for the gold. Michelle receives the "I'm not just any soccer mom" award. While her daughter may get the kudos on the field, Michelle can hold her own on 2 wheels. Some other notable quotes from the evening:"I can't race Ironman this year. I am too busy husband shopping.""I'm not slow. I had a really bad mechanical.""My wife just got the bill for my new bike. I can't stay to drink beer. I need to go home and look at feng shui colors for the living room."
