T.I.R.E. Bike Event Day #2


Ride Day #2: 57.41 miles
Comments: Ride Time was 4 hours 26 minutes, average speed: 12.8

Today Dennis and I were back on the tandem. It was to be another beautiful riding day in Trempealeau County. The medium route took us up to Hansen’s Hold-Up for lunch and down Alligator Slide and then into Arcadia where we biked past the Memorial Park. Our next big hill was approaching so we began to pick up speed and gear for the climb over Church Hill. As we began to gear down, Dennis got stung on the lip by a bee but, being the great captain he is, he kept it all under control and we continued the climb. LeAnn teased that he had Angelina Jolee lips. We were back in Whitehall in time to wash up for the evening banquet. The ride went well today except for one wrong turn on the medium cue sheet. I had a bit of apologizing to do to a few riders that put on some extra miles because of the error but all were very good sports about the mistake.
