Opportunity knocks for all bicyclists on Friday, May 31, 2024! Join fellow Nordics for a ride on Waukesha County’s “Bugline” starting in Menomonee Falls.

The “Bugline”, a converted Milwaukee Road right-of-way, is paved and 15.6 miles in length. The trail route itself is variable: mostly tree lined as it passes through quiet, small communities, including Lannon, Sussex and North Lake, and, beware, at times, crosses busy, intersecting rural roads. It’s an ideal pedal to ease into the bike season as the terrain tends to be flat with gradual inclines/declines, and one hefty hill after you’re warmed up.

This “no cue sheet,” out-and back-ride starts promptly at 9:30 am. We’ll be meeting at the southwest corner of the Village Bowl parking lot (N86W18330 Main Street, Menomonee Falls, WI). Approximate length of the ride is 30 miles. If interested, there is a map online. There will be an optional, outdoor lunch stop on the way back at the tasty Loca Latte in Sussex.

Contact Jane Stoltz (1jmstoltz@gmail.com, or phone 414-378-1791) by May 29th if you plan to join in.
