Women out-numbered the Men this past Monday night 6-4. You Go Girls!! It seems
we split into multi-speed groups where most had a group to ride with. We also
had new riders which led to an interesting, fun, and friendly initiation to the
group. I will say no more about this initiation in-order to draw in the
curiosity-driven new riders. So, when you come to a Monday ride for the first
time, be sure to ask about INITIATION.

For Gary N. the evening was a triathlon and beyond event as he completed most of
the ride (phase 1) before having a flat. He accepted offer to be picked up by
me by vehicle (we were not to far from my home). Well, before I got to him he
walked (phase 2) most of the ways to my house (about ½ mile Gary) due to a
shower getting in between my truck and I. Phase 3 was the truck ride (about ¾
mile) to his car at our "park and ride" -Red Circle Inn and Refueling site
--Nashotah Club House. Gary went beyond the call of a Monday Night Biker by
walking that ½ mile distance and saving me the expense of Gas while I suffered
in a warm shower! Thanks, and welcome back to the Monday Night Rides Gary...

For next week, same thing minus flat tires, showers, walks etc.

Meet: Red Circle Inn Parking Lot, Nashotah

Directions: From Milwaukee, I-94 west to Hwy 16 west to Hwy C (about 10 miles,
next exit after Hwy 83) south to Red Circle Inn (south west corner of the stop
sign intersection).

Time: Meet 6:00, ride 6:15


For those not familiar:
* We ride 20 - 30 miles (shorter options are available). Maps are provided.
* Our pace ranges from average of 15 to 20 mph.
* We do not focus on staying together as one group so it is a matter of grouping
with a person or several at your pace.
* We also go out for food and drink after the rides.
* Please have your bike in good repair as we have limited resources and time for
bike work.
