Comments:
Biked with Bob-o when I got to La Crosse. We met at the Rec center and rode up the bluff, with Bobby using Dan's new bike. I couldn't believe how easy it was to ride up Grandad's with a nice bike, and being a bit more "bike fit"!

Once on top we rolled across FA 'til it ended. Just after turning around my biking "ended", as I got a flat in my rear tire! Cripes! We walked the bikes for a bit back to the HPT trail head. From there we decided I'd stash my bike and I'd run back to my car, via the Hixon Trails, while Bobby would just ride back.

I felt terrific on the run -- really good energy and my legs felt strong. The first bit of Bicentennial was steep and rocky but once back on the regular Hixon I rolled, hammering the last 1.5 miles back to the Rec.

I got in my car and picked up my bike, having to drive all the way around the detour. From there I went to Mitchell to change, then to Big Al's with Bobby and The Dallas for dinner. Post-dinner drinks were at TRR, with Godfather and Lucas joining. Good times, and a fun way to start the trip.
