Tour of Wisconsin 2011

post in the works

Bird Attack!!

Attack twice by birds tonight. Twice!!
I was out for a ride along the fox river after dinner tonight.  It was real hot and humid so no one is out, heading to by LBS (local bike shop) to pick up the recumbent and drop off the LHT for some brake work before the tour. 
And out of nowhere, in a tight twisty section of the trail where what I felt was like a hand grabbing my head.  I knew it was a bird but WTH.   And of all things I had forgotten my helmet so it was in my hair.  Just Creepy! 
So on the way back, on the recumbent, I made the decision to pedal as fast as possible thru that section.... just in case.  Dive bombed again!! and I saw it out the corner of my eye this time.  A Blackbird attacking the back of my head!!  Just plain creepy to have that thing in your hair.

Yet another reason to always have a helmet on. 

The Tour of Wisconsin is coming...soon!

Less than a month away from the big week long Tour of Wisconsin.  From Freeport up to Monroe west thru Darlington and Mineral Point, North to Dodgeville to Blue Mound State Park, thru Madison to New Glarus and back to Freeport.  The route looks like a big lollipop but its not for suckers.  Its going to be hilly and a epic adventure. 
Final bits of gear to be purchased and training to amp up.
Can't wait!!
