We hit the Glacial Drumlin for a 21 mile'r last night.  It was dark when we
finished so next week a few more of us are planning to bring head lights.
George was our only head light last night.  Good job George!  The Glacial
Drumlin is not too bad in the dark as there is no "bad road" to watch for or
cars to contend with.  So, next week we are doing it again.
Ride Time 6pm
Take I-94 west to Hwy G (Meadowbrook Rd) south 4miles to the Glacial Drumlin
trail.


We also had a great Mountain Bike ride at Southern Kettle on Sunday morning
and are planning to go again this Sunday.
We are meeting at the parking area on the west side of the road (Hwy H)
north of LaGrange about  1 mile.  LaGrange is at the

We had great weather for a great ride on the Glacial Drumlin Trail to the
west out of Waukesha.  Brian decided to use his road bike like a mountain
bike with a little diversion off the black top at about 25mph.  It was so
graceful it looked planned?  We managed to get 20 in and still have a little
light remaining at the end.

With Monday being labor day we decided to set next weeks ride for Tuesday
night at Red Circle Inn in Nashotah.
Ride Time 6:30

Last nights ride was once again well attended by 10 riders.  We broke into
three groups with the fastest group averaging better than 18mph.  Nona and
Debbie managed to avoid the big-bad snapping turtles as they took a short
cut and crossed the river in Stone Bank due to bridge out --Mighty Brave!
Out side of a beer flood at our table (Ron), dinner and drinks were enjoyed
at the Nashotah Club House after the ride.

Next week:  Return to Nashotah 6:30pm

Last nights ride in the Holy Hill area was well attended and well liked.
One of the originators of the Monday night ride, Nona, was able to make the
ride --No broken bones! We rode about 20 miles on the quiet scenic winding
roads.  After-bike food and refreshments were enjoyed at the Roadside Bar in
Lake five.  With these being the longest-light days of the season we have
decieded to do this ride again next week.

Meet at the Plat school parking lot located at the intersection of Plat Rd
and Monches Rd at 6:30 pm.
Basic directions to this intersection are: From Hwy 41. Hwy Q west 8 miles
to Plat Rd. (which is on the west end of the town of Lake Five). North on
Plat Rd. 1 mile to the intersection of Plat & Monches Rd's. School is on NW
corner.

Fellow Bikers...  We had a wonderful ride this Monday from Dave and Sandy
Holzhauer's home.  We knew we were off to a great start as pulling out of
the driveway when we heard a loud "Gordy -what the hell are you doing" from
Dave Shultz .  I guess they both decieded to be in the same space at the
same time which did not seem to work very well.  They were noticed riding
together shortly after this incident with no further problems...  We were
treated to Brats, Hotdogs, Coleslaw etc., and carb replacement drinks (beer
etc.) after the ride.  After the carb replacements we boldly applyed good
judgment in decieding next weeks ride in the HolyHill area as follows:

If you're looking for something different to do on your bike, come ride
with the Waukesha Hash House Harriers ("a drinking club with a running
problem"). Normally their get togethers are cross country runs, but
occasionally they do a "Bash" - a Biking Hash.

A little heads up about this Bash. The trail will be marked by any
combination of the following, flour, pieces of surveying tape, TP, and
possibly chalk. You will encounter different shaped marks that give you a
general idea of which way to go. These marks will be explained at the
"circle up" before the start of the ride.
The whole point of marks is it keeps the ride interesting, and doesn't let
the fast riders get ahead of the rest of the pack as they're generally are
the ones who find the false trails and then have to catch up with the rest
of the group who found the true trail. There will be lots of yelling
"on-on" and whistle blowing to let you know who is on trail. There will
also be one or more "rehydration stops" where you may rehydrate with your
favorite refreshment. And finally, at the end of the trail will be the
"on-in" which is where the party is. There you will be treated to numerous
drinking songs, stories of previous hash events, and information about the
next hash run.

For more information about the Hash, check out the following site:
http://www.gthhh.com/

Here's the details of the upcoming Bash. Hope to see you there.


On Sunday June 9th
Come join me on the first bash of 2002.

Start time: 3pm
Start Location: The northeast corner of the state fair grounds.
                  Thats by the intersection of 76th St. and I-94.
                  The park-n-ride parking lot.
Hare: Hand Solo

The trail will be combination of road and off-road.  I recommend that only
mountain and hybrid bikes attempt it.  Road bikes will probably have a hard
time of it!!  I'm not sure how off-road this trail will actually be, but I
will try my hardest to find as much off road as i can.

As for weather:  Only if it's rain hard, thunder storming, or snowing(it's
wisconsin you never know) will the bash be canceled.  Also if it gets to
cold the bash will also be canceled.  If it's only raining lightly the bash
will go on.  If the bash is canceled and you still show up, those that show
up can always just go to a bar.  The hare is obligated to show up to the
start and tell those that show up that the bash is canceled.  If will take
some pretty bad weather to cancel a bash.

On-ON

Hand Solo

Dave asked me to let you all know that you are invited to there Summer
Solstices Party on June 1st.  Noon til ?  A few may do a bike ride from the
house at noon.
Bring your choice of meat to grill.  Rain date is Sunday after the Miller
Ride.

A few of us are planning to do the Miller Ride.  If interested let me know.

Another cool one (in more than one way) was this weeks ride.  Helmets off to
Ann K. on her first Monday ride of the season.  Ann willingly followed us
into the cold and into the hills.  You might say that we are group of
DownHill skiers with an UpHill biking fetish!

No planned ride this next Monday as it is Memorial Day.  Perhaps a impromptu
renegade ride over the weekend.  Let me know if interested.

The following Monday (June 3) Dave & Sandy Holzhauer have offered to be our
ride hosts.   Ride time is 6:30.
Directions:  Go to the intersection of Good Hope Rd. and Cty Hwy V (TownLine
Rd).  This is in the Sussex/Lannon area.  Go north on Hwy V  to Wooded Hills
