Lots of letters today!

Today was a great ride with Ed.  We did Brown County, De Pere, Doc's Harley Davidson, Zachow, Appleton, and Lawrence.


It started off a little chilly, so I wore the outside layer of my riding system.  Wow, it was way too much jacket, I was pretty toasty.  I'm going to go back to wearing the middle layer or my light jacket next time.


Getting the pictures takes some courage - we have to pull over on the gravel shoulder and hope there isn't too much traffic.  We're getting better at catching the signs before we pass them, but I will say that I am getting to be the queen of u-turns!


We decided to have a late lunch at Stevie B's in Appleton.  For $6.50 plus the price of a drink, you get all the pizza & salad you can eat.  They have "normal" pizzas, dessert pizzas, anything you can think of pizzas as well as some of their own recipes. I have to say, there isn't a type of pizza there that I haven't liked. It is way to easy to overeat, but today I didn't for once :) The s'mores pizza and the cinnamon roll are my favorites, I could just eat them and skip the regular pizza but that is good too!

We have all the letters we need for SWITCHBACK now, and are just missing a few city letters E, J, Q, U, V, X and Y. We need a lot more county letters though.

I is for Iola

So, is there a better way to end a work day than a ride with friends?  None that I can think of!  Ed & I headed out to Iola with a childhood friend (and neighbor) of mine and her boyfriend.  The weather could not have been more perfect.  


We had a great ride, saw some cranes, had our photo op in Iola, and due to time restrictions had to take the highway.  There was some construction that gave us the opportunity to take some back roads to get where we needed to go.


We came back to Oshkosh, ate at The Chalice followed up by dessert at Leon's.  I had the roast beef au jus with the pasta salad at The Chalice, it was fabulous as always.  I tried a new flavor at Leon's, Raspberry swirl.  It was good, but I still like chocolate best :)


Looking forward to more rides soon to finish up our ABC's!
