annual 100

its summer time here in wisco. and that means the annual trek 100. lance was in attendance again and appeared to be having some bike trouble right at the start.

very large food stops. we of course stopped at every one.

picture perfect postcard fields of farm land.

just riding along with over 2000 riders on some awesome roads. always a great event to do for good base miles. unfortunately we could not make the boat ride this year as some bad weather came in and forced people to evacuate and take shelter. tornado time!

be careful
