Well we were in luck with some more 70+ degree days, but couldn’t take off this week until Wednesday which was still supposed to be sunny, winds only up to 15mph and in the 70s. So I took off and Kevin took a half day. I planned a route the night before to head down towards and through Watertown and then to Waterloo, etc. Well the morning started out horrible, with fog, clouds and gusty winds. Good thing Kevin was working until 10 a.m. so I wen to the gym. The fog finally lifted and by the time I left to meet him the clouds were breaking up. We also noticed it was pretty hazy at the start of our ride. Outside of Kevin wanting to grab his ST Group’s tag on Wildcat Road south of Mayville, for the most part we stuck to my planned route until Watertown or Concord. We kept heading south out of Watertown, until we finally met up with Cty B just south of I94 which was what I had planned on taking originally anyways. It was a pretty scenic and curvy road. We stopped at a park near Lake Mills on Rock Lake to snap a couple of pictures and continued onto Marshall where we stopped for a late lunch at the Silver Fox tavern. From there we headed east and then northeast through Horicon Marsh. We stopped at Lakeside Park’s Lighthouse so Kevin could move the tag. I’m certain someone will still grab it this season. Although it wasn’t a very good start and the winds were much higher than forecasted, it ended up bering a pretty darn nice day, much better than the last one we took off for. And it will more than likely for sure be the last nicest day of the season. I’m so glad I took off to enjoy it and get some more seat time! Pictures and map below...
