We rode from our house to Menasha to pick up the Trestle Trail.
These ducks were enjoying the morning on Little Lake Butte Des Morts as we connected with the Trestle Trail.
From the Trestle Trail we connect with the Friendship Trail that runs alongside Hwy 10.
We have always admired the new addition to the Miron Construction building. The trail runs beside the building and employees often use it for running and walking.
Before the Friendship Trail ends we turn south on the Wiouwash Trail to head to Oshkosh.
The summer wildflowers were abundant as we neared Oshkosh.
A different family of ducks on Lake Butte Des Morts near Oshkosh. There was a good breeze so the ducks were bobbing all over.
As we cross Hwy 41 on the bicycle path we got a bird's eye view of the new highway construction.
The Wiouwash Trail leads to Fratellos on the Fox River - our lunch destination. It was warm out so we decided to eat in doors and enjoy the air conditioning.
We followed the Wiouwash Trail along the river as it wound through the UW Oshkosh campus and then made our way downtown and Menomonie Park on Lake Winnebago.
We brought our swimsuits and hoped that the water was okay. It was actually very clean and we enjoyed a break to swim and cool off. Quite a few people were enjoying the beach and the lake.
As we cycled on and left the park we rode by part of the zoo.
This guy was cooling off in the water too.
Menomonie Park is very picturesquely located and provides great public access to Lake Winnebago.
We took a break out of Oshkosh to have some trail mix at this spot where we could see the lake, but the biting flies caused us to cut our stop short.We followed County Road A into Neenah and made good time. Stopped in to see Jake & Amber in Menasha and then rode the last 5 miles or so to get home before the light faded.
It was a 56 miles loop.
