Wiouwash Trail - Nov. 7, 2010

With temps in the 50's we had to get out and do some riding. We only rode the Wiouwash once this year and went from Larsen to Hortonville. So today we decided to head south from Medina to Oshkosh.















How about this view just before Larsen? Larry said we could easily imagine ourselves in Egypt. It is a neat shot. Camera batteries died though so did not get many other pics on this ride.

The overpass at Hwy 41 is very nice now with a wide bicycle lane. We rode into Oshkosh and stopped at Fratello's on the river to sample some micro brew beer. Larry had the American Pale Ale and I enjoyed the Wisconsin Wheat with a slice of lemon - both very good. We watched the Viking/Cardinal game and saw Brett Favre enable the Vikings to tie the score with about 40 seconds left. Couldn't stay though as we knew it would be close to sun down by the time we got back to Medina. [I just checked on the internet and see the Vikings won in OT]



This water way was so peaceful that Larry suggested trying the camera again to see if there might be one shot left - and there was enough power to take 2 pics. A train came by as we were enjoying the scene.


Total ride today - 36 miles.
