BALLS VII...the end of the Line?

Might be the last one.....if it was, Mother Nature saved the best for last. The best weather we've ever had following one of the coldest winters in decades and a spring that wasn't much better. That's what's kind of fun doing outdoor things when weather can play such a huge part, like Forrest, the box of chocolates are a mystery.

Love the bananas hanging off the bars. Kevin, Wade, Nate.

Todd, Tim and Greg.

Greg (FarmGuy) wanted a solo shot. Since the cows were sold off he seems to crave more attention....makes one wonder what maybe went on in that barn at times.

 

40-45 people headed out this year.
Randy, Mike and Heidi.

Somewhere around here, the 60 mile mark or so,  a few of us decided to buy a 6 pack of brew and relax and enjoy the day a bit more.

Ron in front, my ride, Miss Piggy in the rear.

 
Yep, energy food, anything chocolate. Jeff has it down.

After 100 miles the first day and campfire with as much brew and grub one wanted, we headed out the next day to finish off the ride back to Madison and on to Barneveld, the official start and finish. Another 65-70 miles or so the 2nd day.

Tim trying to hide the pain......



 

Tim and I, got some other rides planned for the summer.
Forgot who Tim asked to take this, but thanks!
