Tuesday Casual RideA casual Tuesday night ride has formed. If you're interested in a
sixteen to twenty mile no-drop ride, this might be for you. In the
past the rides have started at 5:30 PM (not 6 PM) at the Wiouwash
trail head near Fratello's. A group of twelve to fifteen people
are consistently showing. Following the ride, the group has enjoyed
wine and conversation. As the start location has been somewhat
flexible, please contact Carol at the Oshkosh Cyclery (231-2211)
if you are interested in joining the ride.

From Wheel & Sprocket. This ride is broken into three groups: Fast, Medium, & No-drop. Generally, the ride uses the same route every week (the Clairville Route). If dropped, hook up with group behind you. Wheel & Sprocket is located on Washburn Rd. between 9th and 20th. See suggested ride start times (based upon the time of year). From Wheel and Sprocket: As you know, the Wednesday night ride from Wheel & Sprocket is meant to have a friendly and encouraging atmosphere for riders of all abilities. In the interest of preserving this friendly nature, a new rule will be observed: Pace will remain under 18 mph until Highway 44 on Clairville is crossed. After this point, feel free to slowly speed up the pace. We encourage everyone to help each other to do their beest and make this the best week night ride out there. Thanks much, and enjoy the ride. Also from Wheel and Sprocket, on the first Wednesday night of
the Month, following the ride Wheel and Sprocket will be serving
burgers and salad.
8:00 AM - Church Lot (Westhaven & 9th). A moderate paced ride
(16 to 18 MPH on road bike) geared towards endurance. Distance -
about 40 miles in Spring, then gets a bit longer each week.
The route is based on the wind. People that don't have time to ride
long are encouraged to join in for as long as they can.
8:00 AM - Oakwood School (Oakwood rd. & Old Omro Rd). The route tends
to be based on the wind. The distance tends to about 40 miles.
It's a laid back conversational paced ride (about 16ish MPH on a
road bike). Sometime riders stop for breakfast on the way back.
