T.I.R.E. Bike Event Day #1

Ride Day #1: 23.75 miles
Comments: Ride Time was 1 hour 51 minutes, average speed: 12.7


Wow, another major accomplishment for Deb—Biking Trempealeau County on the Bacchetta! As we were packing the tandem for its trip to Whitehall to participate in the Trempealeau Invitational Ride Event, we noticed a crack in the rear rim. We called Kevin immediately at the Blue Herron in Onalaska to see what he could do and he came through for us again. It did mean I would have to ride my single for day #1 of the T.I.R.E. ride but I was ready for the challenge. Barb Garthus rode the short route with me providing much encouragement. I had a great time and was glad I had this chance to increase my biking confidence. Dennis stayed at the Inn waiting for Kevin to call with news of the tandem rim so that we could ride the rest of the weekend together.
