Hosted by Mike Lindgren and Terri Backus
Cumberland, Wisconsin Wrangler Ride: 45.02 miles
Tandem Pedal Time: 3 hours 31 minutes, average speed 12.7
Mike and Terri were wonderful hosts for this Wisconsin Wrangler ride. We drove 3 hours to get to their lake-front home in Cumberland, WI, north of Menomonie and near Rice Lake. We reached Cumberland at 9:30 a.m. and began unloading the bike along with 12 other teams. That is when the rain decided to fall. After a quick check of the weather radar, we were given thumbs up for a clear day of riding and the rain only delayed us for 15 minutes.
Our lunch stop was scheduled at the County Line Tavern, 30 miles into our 45-mile route. This was a very quaint bar and grill nestled amongst the desolate wilds of northern Wisconsin. After lunch, we had only 12 miles of riding to finish back at Mike and Terri’s.
What could be more pleasant than resting out on a deck overlooking a lake, enjoying sunny skies, being served drinks and a variety of delicious eats and visiting with new biking friends? It was hard to say goodbye! We thanked Mike and Terri for planning such a wonderful event and then returned to our van for our 3-hour trip home.
