Wheels out at 6pm!

LANNON CENTRE PARKING LOT, Lannon, WI
This challenging ride begins at QUARRY COFFEE on 20316 W Main ST, Lannon. The ride starts at 6pm with quick instructions to those who want to listen about course condition, safety and group riding. some faster folks will head out at 6pm sharp, but if you are a begginner, we suggest sticking around for a talk and ride in a group.

USE THE QUARRY COFFEE's parking lot! They will have water, Gatorade and Propel available for purchase. They have extended their Tuesday night opening up to 6pm.

There will be a new route. The old route got winter-havoc'd and is deemed unsafe with pot holes. Brad Wells, Mike Karbouski, Michelle Lanouette, your ride leaders, have scouted the course for some safe alternatives. Maps will be distributed at the parking lot and will be linked here as soon as we get them digital.

BEGINNERS BIKE RIDE

What’s this? A ride without the pressure of everyone leaving you in the dust? Yes! Join your fellow TriWis teammates for a more casual ride through one of two different parks. No pressure here. You won’t be dropped and there’ll be very experienced ride leaders to help you along the way. They’ll answer all your questions about triathlons and give riding tips along the way. Distances will vary (about 10-12 miles to start) and increase as the summer goes along. This will be a great way to learn how to ride in a group.
