PAW Day #7

Rhinelander to Merrill: 56.84 miles
Comments: Ride Time was 3 hours 43 minutes, average speed: 15

Our average speed shows how anxious we were to return to Merrill. We had plans to spend the night in Dorchester, WI at Johnson’s B&B. Joan and John Laabs were joining us there to enjoy hearing about Kathy and John’s 3,000+-mile bike trip west along the Northern Tier. We took one small rest before reaching the AmericInn in Merrill where Janice was their to send us off with kind words and thanks for attending the PAW Northwoods Tour. This was the best 8 days of riding we experienced this season. The rain was very minimal and the temperatures were ideal for biking and the routes could not have been better—very few hills, so strange compared to riding back home. We will keep in touch with our new PAW friends and hope to ride again with them sometime soon.
