 Join us as we ramp it up and ride the FULL IRONMAN WI COURSE! July 31st Saturday. Perfect timing for all the folks competing in this year's Ironman and a great and fun training ride for those looking for a nice ride.
We'll start in the parking lot at Olin-Turville Park again. There's plenty of free parking and it's easy to find. Try to get there by 6:45 so we can start promptly at 7:00am. Seems early but it's a long day.
We will have several groups based on ability. Course maps and que sheets will be available. Please check your tires and other equipment to make sure everything's in good shape. We will have any SAG support for major mechanical issues. Be prepared to fix your flats (just like the race).
After the ride, there's a nice trail in the park for an optional short run so don't forget your running shoes!
How to get to Olin-Turville Park:
Take I-94 West to I-90 South to Hwy 12/18 West (the beltway).
Exit at John Nolan Drive. The park will be less than a mile on your right. It's the first park lot after the Sheraton hotel on the right.
Optional Carpool
If you'd like to carpool or caravan out to the Park, be at the Hwy G (Golf Rd) Park&Ride off of I-94 West NO LATER THAN 5:30AM !
Top 10 things to remember during IRONMAN COURSE (and every other) RIDE. - Safety First. If you are in doubt, error towards the safer bet.
- Be prepared and adapt to what the day gives you
- Be polite with fellow riders and motorists. A friendly smile goes a long way
- Look motorists in the eye. Dont expect them to see you at an intersection.
- Be courteous and learn the rules of the road for cycling.
- Look out for each other.
- Dont leave anything behind. That means NO TRASH. carry your gel packs back to the car.
- Know your route..or carry a map. http://www.ironmanwisconsin.com/course.php
- Carry a Cellphone for emergency
- Enjoy the day.

Ironman Course Prep ride #1: check! |

The weather cooperated big time on TriWisconsin's ironman prep ride #1 on May 29th. The temperatures topped around 85 degrees as over 50 triwisconsin members joined the summer-deprived cycling community along the Ironman Wisconsin course. Nothing more can be said of the awesome help provided by board member Lauren Simpson and Triwisconsin Member Tom Flanagan. The triwisconsin water/food stops in Mt Horeb (mile 30ish) and Walgreens (mile 60ish) provided a much welcomed respit for the all riders, not just Triwisconsin. 
Triwisconsin members Mike Dean and Kevin (???) was also on hand to help make sure all the TriWis members are accounted for and made it through to the aid station. This team is FANTASTIC!
