Training update!

The past weekend brought on the BALLS Ride. The BALLS Ride is the brainchild of CORPs El Presidente, Bear, and stands for Big A$$ Long Loop Shindig. We just completed the third edition of it and it's becoming bigger and bigger with every passing year. This year we had about 30 on day one with riders coming from as far away as Rochester, MN and Racine, WI.

Basically, it's a big loop spread out over 2 days; 100 miles for day 1 and about 65 miles for day 2...just about entirely on gravel. We use the Military Ridge State Trail, the Cheese Country Multi-use Trail, Sugar River State Trail, and the Badger State Trail. Throw in the unpredictable Wisconsin April weather and you've got yourself an epic ride! We stayed overnight just outside of Brodhead, WI at the Crazy Horse Campground in some really nice cabins and enjoyed an awesome dinner and beers around the campfire before the skys openend up and forced us to an early bed time.

On day 2, Kevin and I decided to get up early and head out with Doug and Rob from Racine to try to beat the crappy forecast. It worked out well...we got a little bit wet but I was home in the shower by about 12:30 PM!
