October 24, 2020 - LION TOUR - 34 miles. Today six of us took a cold and beautiful ride from Hart Part to Pewaukee Lake. We are cyclist so we dressed for the occasion and it was a great ride. The sun broke through the clouds and warmed our faces. Usually, after this ride, we would head to Pizza Piccola and have pizza. We can't do that because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Maybe next year. I can't believe the season will be over in a week. Until then, continue to enjoy the ride. Thanks to Tim McAdams for leading this ride.

How to help a Snapping Turtle Cross the Road

Have you ever come across a turtle crossing the road while cycling? I have, especially at this time of the year. How do you safely move it, so it does not get hit by a car?
Well, here is a short video, full of great tips, to help you move the turtle to safety. If you don't have the time to watch, the most important message of all is, move it to the side of the road that is was pointing.

This video demonstrates multiple methods you could use to help a large Snapping Turtle across the road.

May 31, 2020 - 41 Miles Fox River Sanctuary Loop - Great turn out for this loop, mask-ready, for our 2nd annual Cream City Cycle Club ride for 2020. Thanks to everyone for your participation and special thanks to Harry P for leading another great ride. Here are a few photos that I took along the way

The first official Wednesday ride of the 2020 season kicked off today! We rode the 30.5-mile Pretty Lake Loop. Thanks to William H Dames for leading today's rides. There were 16 riders in all. The photos were taken from last group on the road with our fearless leader. A great day for a ride!

All I can say is WOW (Women on Wheels) had their inaugural ride for 2020 on Monday June 1. We had a great turnout for the event, in which we practiced our Social Distancing techniques, rode the trail, rode the roads, rode on roads closed to cars for COVID-19 and stopped for coffee, all while socially distancing from one another. AND, along the way we saw some ducks, some beautiful Phlox-like flowers in full bloom AND a bag-piper in the park - probably hoping to share his love of music with the rest of the world. Anyway, here are a few photos that I took along the way - MANY thanks to Harriet Pfersch and Carol Hegland our co-ride-leaders.

May 30, 2020 - First club ride of the new year!!! Views of Holy Hill, and there were some. Here are a few photos that I took along the way. Social distancing worked well. Great turn out, lots sporting the new club jersey. Thanks for the great turn out. See you on a future ride.

Wonderful advice. Does that mean we shouldn't do any money laundering now?

Question: 1 USPS Mail Carrier with non-symptomatic CoVid 19 Virus delivers mail to 500 homes in a day...the virus is on the mail in the box then that Mail Carrier has exposed all the people living those homes to the CoVid 19 Virus... One To Many...how is that any different than a mass group of people at an event? Do the math...? Thousands of people could be exposed in one day... Paper money and coins are some the most bacteria and virus loaded items in the world. Use your credit or debit cards

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Now get out there and show them how much the Irish love to bike!
