We did the same route, La Crosse to Reedsburg (also the longest I'd ever ridden) in the middle of August, on one of the hottest days of the year. The old tunnels were really cool, er, in more ways than one; the temp. diff meant clouds of mist were pouring out of them as you came up (very impressive) and they were much cooler inside than out. Don't forget your lights, there is no lighting inside and it's a long walk (riding is sensibly not allowed inside) on the one. Very nice ride though, beautiful scenery and lots of easy rest stops along the way. Alas, the brew pub we were to meet our sag wagon at was closed, but we found them at a gas station and there the beer was cold so it worked out in the end. Both planning and flexibility, I guess, help make it a successful ride. -- a Andy Bach, [email protected] 608 658-1890 cell 608 261-5738 wk _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
