Waukesha, WI 75 miles

The ride this morning was great with ALL flat terrain and great overcast weather. The only downer about today's ride was that Winston had a rough accident. Sadly, he was riding towards the back of his paceline and didn't see the huge dead racoon on the shoulder. Unfortunately he NAILED that sucker dead on and went flying off his bike! He got a few scrapes but we are all laughing about it now. Anyway, as we got in to Waukesha we went to a former cyclist's parent's house on the lake for an afternoon of relaxing. We ate some lunch, tubed, and played on some jet skis for a few hours. From there it was on to lodging at the local Lutheran church where 6 of us were lucky enough to catch a Saturday evening service, the first I've been to in over 2 months, kind of a weird feeling. Anyway, we had a great friendship visit at the local bowling alley. This alley was gigantic though, over 40 lanes total. It was at this visit that I met Travis, a boy that we would spend time with for the days in Milwaukee as well. He was on my team for bowling and our team of 5 beat the 5 next to us in a pretty competitive but fun-natured $2 game. After the bowling fun, we headed back to lodging for the evening but had a short pit stop at Wendy's for a late night snack. It was a pretty funny though, we did a "Frostee Challenge" with just the guys from our car. The 5 of us each bought a small Frostee and raced to see who could eat it fastest. Rules were that the Frostee had to enter the mouth on a spoon and the cup could not touch your lips. Other than that, it was free game! The picture at right is of DJ (left) and Josh (right) our project manager in a dual for the title. The other three of us (Bill and Wes) lost in round one. Ultimately, Josh became the Frostee Queen of our car. Good times, good times!
