Biking the Dells Day 1

Wisconsin Dells to Baraboo: 35.61 miles
TANDEM Pedal Time: 2 hours 61 minutes, average speed 12.1

We are so excited to be biking in the Dells again. We joined two other tandem teams to put the finishing touches on our bike routes for the upcoming Post MTR ride being organized by our small committee. We currently have 21 teams joining us following the Madison Midwest Tandem Rally and our routes are looking very good—beautiful roads and many interesting stops along the routes. Bike with GPS was a great help with mapping and preparing cue sheets for the various routes planned. The route we tested today will be the Tuesday ride that will take each rider from the Dells into Baraboo, Wisconsin. Traffic was heavy today but promises to be much less in September when we will tour the area again with the teams signed up for this event.

Marsha and Bill Peters again provided a comfy bed for Dennis and I at their beautiful log cabin home near the Dells. They have been very helpful to Tom, Annette, Dennis and I as we worked to get the routes just right so that all will be safe and enjoy biking the Dells and surrounding areas. Tom and Annette, our planning partners, joined us at the Peters’ where we sat up late visiting and getting some more planning done.
