Biking in WI

Diane and I both took the week of 7/1-7/7 to go bicycling in WI with a group of friends. We stayed in two State Parks and a private campgrounds. The weather was great as were the roads. Our biking miles ranged from 30 to 60 a day. The Northern Highlands American Legion State Forest & Parks near Sayner were probably the best trails, roads & lakes but all were totally impressed with the great WI countryside.

Another highlight of the trip was a whitewater trip down the Peshtigo River. Due to low water levels we each were in our own inflatable kayak. The trip was fun and quite a workout due to getting hung up on the rocks.

Victory in the "G"

The last race in the "G" series was very successful for Liberty and Crew. We had to finish 1st or 2nd in order to win the series and our chances were only so-so with all the fast boat there ready to take it away from us. On the first upwind we caught a special breeze that put us 100 seconds in the lead and from there on we were able to defend that for victory in the race and the series by a very comfortable margin.

It's good to be lucky!
