2010 Wednesday Night Bike Rides |

About the Rides | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | Directions
Welcome to yet another season of great riding along the back roads of Dane County. Rides will be between 20 and 35 miles in length and will have short and long options so that riders of differing abilities can participate. Routes have been designed for minimum traffic density and maximum scenery. Most are hilly. Riders usually get together post-ride for pizza to ensure that nobody loses any weight.

Caveat: Many of the entries in the table below are linked to
cue sheets. Each of those cue sheets might correspond to the ride
that's planned, or it might correspond to a ride from that location that was
done in years past, or it might correspond to some other ride that happens to
start from that location. The details of each ride are up to the particular ride
leader, who almost certainly hasn't contacted us to ensure that the
linked cue sheet corresponds to the ride she has planned, and we most
certainly haven't contacted them to check for such
correspondence. The best we offer is that if we do the ride and it differs from
what was linked, we'll try to remember to change it before next year's schedule
is up-- but, of course, it might change again next year.
