COWS Spring Rally-Middleton, Wisconsin



Pre-Rally Ride: 9.13 miles
Comments: Ride Time was 56 minutes, average speed: 9.6

We left home at 8:00 a.m. for the 3-hour drive to Middleton, WI near Madison for our 5th spring rally with the COWS. As we pulled into the loading bay at the Marriott, Kathi and John Johnson were there to greet us. We made some quick plans to meet up for a lunch ride once we were registered into the hotel. As we biked around Middleton, we came across a quaint Albanian Café called SOFRA Bistro (
www.sofrabistro.com) and who should we see climbing out of their truck with tandem in tow but Dennis and Ingrid Hughes just into town for the tandem rally. We invited Dennis and Ingrid to join us for lunch and we all enjoyed our meal choice. My Albanian Wedding soup was the best soup I had ever had! After lunch, we enjoyed the new Conservancy Trails around Middleton. We then biked back to the hotel to register for the rally and watch all the couples arrive and get ready for the official route for the afternoon.
