July 10 DeForest

Weather was supposed to be nearly perfect for riding this weekend. So, I was going to plan a route for today with Kevin and realized we still hadn’t used the one I had planned for May 1 to Keyeser. With that said, we opted to use that, but I already fore-warned him I would probably add to it since it was only around 140 miles. And, I did!

We decided to go to some place different for lunch other than Karen’s Hip Hop Cafe in Fox Lake because we always go there and even though we went right by there. Also, it was probably wise for Kevin to have soft food, besides just ice-cream, since he had a tooth pulled on Thursday.

We ended up taking all of the original route to Keyeser and then continued on from there to DeForest where we stopped to have breakfast for lunch at the DeForest Family Restaurant.

After leaving there we got back onto the original route, but I wanted to go to The Ice Bowl in Princeton for ice-cream. So, we continued on into and through Cambria north then Cty B north out of Montella, to Hwy 22 and then Cty J into Princeton.

From Princeton I took Cty P to Ripon, Olden Road to Cty I back to town. And… we finally got in 200 miles. Yay!!! It had been two weeks since I was on the bike, so this felt oh so good!
