Join us in Portage on Saturday August 11th for the Ride to Read.

The ride to read is an easy, unique ride starting in Portage, only about 1 1/2 hours from Milwaukee.  See http://www.kiwanisridetoread.com .        
Several members of Bay View Bike Club and Nordic Ski Club participated in this ride last year.  It's a flat, easy ride through Amish farm country north east of Portage.  Even though it's not that far away, I had never really seen this part of the state before.  The ride is run by the friendly people of the Portage Kiwanis Club.  You will ride past lots of Amish farms and businesses with many horses and wagons. Lots of great home made food and only a few hundred riders.  It was one of the nicest charity rides I've done in years.

We plan to start riding at 8:30 am. Ride distances are 15 to 62 miles.  Cost is 25 or 30 dollars, no additional fundraising.  Register in advance or in person at the ride.  Please register on your own. If you are interested in car pooling, contact Michael Dix at dix83@sbcglobal.net and I will try to facilitate it.  No need to RSVP.
