grayson replied to Chris's discussion 'Ride to Milwaukee'"I'd be interested, very much so, but I'd also like to ride back instead of the train. What do you say, Brett?"
BalloonBiker replied to Chris's discussion 'Ride to Milwaukee'"Oh, I'm also interested in the trip. I just always worry that I won't be able to keep up on longer rides when they are faster than "social." I'd love to do the get acquainted ride and see if I'm up to the pace!"

Sarah replied to Chris's discussion 'Ride to Milwaukee'"I would love to come on the April weekend, I would also like to camp, but I might need to take the train back due to time constraints. Count me in, at least for the one way trip.

Brett Ratner replied to Chris's discussion 'Ride to Milwaukee'"Scheduling a beer/ride/planning session sounds like a good idea.
I think I'm free mid April, so the 19th should work for me.
My personal preferences would be...
1st choice: To camp and ride back
2nd choice: Stay in a hotel and ride back
3rd…"
DonRay A.K.A. Zesty replied to Chris's discussion 'Ride to Milwaukee'"Down to stay the night for sure, down for a shorter ride soon...as for the MIL ride, the later the better due to my work schedule, but I realize I'm only one. Chris said:Okay, whoa!

Chris replied to Chris's discussion 'Ride to Milwaukee'"Okay, whoa!
I'm psyched by all the interest in this ride and it has sparked several ideas on my part:
1. looks like we have 7 definties and a number of maybes. The definites would be: DonRay, Norm, T.Mo, Kelly, Tank, Brett and myself.
2. I…"
T. Mo replied to Chris's discussion 'Ride to Milwaukee'"I'm in!! Keep me posted - I'll be doing the return trip as well."
El Duke replied to Chris's discussion 'Ride to Milwaukee'"I didn't know that you can camp at Cliffside Park, it would be a great place for it. From my trek up North last Fall:
I wouldn't do alone again, and would also wait for warm weather. It kinda sucked riding alone and chilly."
root replied to Chris's discussion 'Ride to Milwaukee'"i would love to do this ride but i'm not sure my fixed granny gear would do me well.."
Norm Hansen replied to Chris's discussion 'Ride to Milwaukee'"I would like to meet you and ride up der. But I would rideup one day. Its 85 miles from my driveway to the Downtowns eastside (brady st).

Jason Ward said… - Chris,
Thanks. I know about North Branch trail being a decent chunk of it according to some and then Green Bay Trail? But I've come across differing things about the getting up in to Milwaukee part of it.
I'll check back with you in a couple days.
best,
Jason

Jessica said… - No, I didn't break it, but I came off numerous times, ending up bruised and bleeding. Haha...
If I broke it I wouldn't cry... I can get a cheap replacement. =)

- I earned this name on the Dunes trip! Ha. Are you thinking the 17th of July for MKE 2? I hope so...
Good luck on the gauntlet tomorrow-you are more of a man than I!

- I don't know of any *specific* cross trails... I tend to head out on the trails that all the mountain bikes use, and then break my bike. My companions are often times on Sessions and Fuels, so obviously I get the shaft on that one.
Sweetwoods was a lot of fun... I'll ask around to see if there are any milder trails. I like the challenge of trails not suited for me, but you might not. haha
