  • It's been a minute since I've been able to get a spring Saturday off of bike shop duty so I can go ride bikes with the best cycling club in the whole wide world! Randonneuring is good for the soul and there's no better place than Driftless Wisconsin to experience the magic of long distance road cycing. I absolutely love these days. Aside from the wind, the weather was perfect! And the hills reminded us our legs serve a higher purpose indeed!

    I love it that the bike of the professional bike mechanic is the only one without brifters and disc brakes of the whole bunch! And by far the best looking!👍😁

    I just had to find a way to say thank you so much. You told me that Trek was way over stocked with bikes so I went down to my local Trek dealer and bought a 2023 X Caliber 8 for half of the original price. It is my first 29er and a great 70th birthday present to myself.

    Great job on the vid production. Definitely a most beautiful area and ideal for road cycling. Have enjoyed a number of vintage road bike events in that region. Climbs are just long enough and awesome fun, roller coaster rewarding. There's areas that reminded me of Belgium Netherlands and yet the driftless region has way better surface condition.

      I did my 230km ride with 21kmph average around 996m of elevation and 10 hours 42 min of riding I took more time too busy swiming on the destination 😂 that drained my energy badly and after entering the city the traffic just killed the average speed 😢 i have a hybrid 🙃
