End of the Season Party

The celebration started at 1pm with perfect October weather. Joel and Scott laid out a good course that took advantage of the wind and set a very comfortable pace for the 16 people in the group. After some nice descents and cross winds, we finished with a sweet tail wind, as all rides should.

The atmosphere at the Barley Club made for easy converstations and the tasty taco bar had plenty of carbs and proteins to replentish us in time for the prize drawings, donated by Bike and Sport, Overdrive Cycling and West Wisconsin Land Trust. Jim Peterson made off with the stationary trainer, Karyn will now be astonished at how fast she is on a mountain bike using her new wireless cyclometer, Jason's house will be the place to be when he breaks out the Campy cork screw, Jeff Peterson will have a sweet ride next spring on his new Conti's, Phillip with be able to save his by using his new trainer tire this winter, as will Steve McMahon, Wally will be ready for his next 2 flats and Joan, Lindsey and I will stay toasty in our new sweatshirts. None of us, however, will be as fast as Joel on his new Trinity Alliance Time Trial bike.

The night ended as the season began in April, with friends sharing a good time and looking forward to their next ride, but without the snow.
