Weather looks great for our Wisconsin Supper Club Ride tomorrow!  Mostly sunny and cool - around 60º.  PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE TO 10:30 AM..  Bring a change of clothes for the supper club: we can change in the Pringle Nature Center at the end of the ride.  This is a Fast Plus Ride (17-20 mph) but it seems very likely that there will also be a Fast Group (15-17 mph) with a second leader.  Click on the Route Icon below to get cue sheet and GPS files.  We won’t be stopping for a sit-down lunch but there is food available at our rest stop in Lyons at mile 38.

Bristol Woods Dinner Ride - Remote: Bristol Woods Park, WI ~ Will Heelan
Remote Start: Bristol Woods, Wisconsin
 
This is an afternoon ride from Bristol Woods County Park to Lyons WI.  Riding Fast Plus (17-20 mph) but if there is interest and another leader there may also be a Fast Group (15-17 mph).  We will go in the opposite direction than most of the rides this year, and on a slightly different route. Since we will be starting late in the day, there won’t be a stop for a sit down lunch during the ride but there will still be 3 rest stops and all have some sort of food  available.  This will be a beautiful hilly ride in rural Wisconsin with a few small towns, some horses, cows, and barns along the way. There are a couple of new roads to try so there could be a last minute surprise.
 
The real purpose of the ride is to go to the Colony House Supper Club for dinner, which is on the route for many club rides in the area. It's intriguing because it's in the middle of nowhere, and looks frozen in time. You are welcome to come on the ride and/or to the dinner, but you must eMail Melissa Gattuso at melissa.gattuso@icloud.com no later then Friday afternoon if you want to go to the Supper Club (6:00pm). The restaurant is about a 20 minute drive from the Park.
 
 
Directions to start: Bristol Woods County Park. Take I-94 North. A few miles past the Wisconsin border, take Exit #347 Hwy 165/Cty Q. Turn left (west) at the end of the exit ramp and go west 2.5 miles on Cty Q.  Turn right (north) at Cty MB and go 0.8 miles.  Turn left into the park entrance. Park at the Pringle Nature Center - follow the park road about 1/4 mile past the picnic shelter at the top of the hill.  Allow an hour from Evanston.
