A plethora of riches from which to choose.... My suggestion might be common but is my favorite. I love the stretch of the John Nolen Path coming out of Olin-Turville Park towards downtown. The view of the Capitol over the lake with the Monona Terrace down on the shore is beautiful - especially after dusk. I also enjoy the seasonal variation of geese, ducks, coots and other birds easily observable on the Lake from the path.

As self-appointed Bikies, I am seeking your nominations/brainstorms for bike-related features in Madison to discuss or highlight during the ride. They can be spaces, places, views, amenities, historic facts, mapping/route resources, or favorite stretches of asphalt. Send me one, send me many. I'm interested in the commonplace and the esoteric, the straight-and-narrow and the far out. While I can't guarantee that anyone's suggestions will be included during the event, they will certainly be considered and appreciated and perhaps will be the nucleus for another ride or event. I see this ride as less of an event-in-and-of-itself, and more of an opening of an additional channel of communication for folks who need or want to find out more about the existing infrastructure that exists to support their decision to ride a bike around town- be it once a year, once a month, once a week, or every day (of course my bikie bias loves to think of this as a slippery slope). If you are interested, please send me your submissions by Tuesday (Aug 17) at noon. Thanks everyone! -India
