Barns of the Pedal The Kettle

In posts on my primary blog I've mentioned that, as a kid, I spent a lot of time on my Grandparents farm. So the first time that I road the Pedal The Kettle route, I saw several farms that reminded me of those childhood days visiting the working farm. Today I decided to ride part of the PTK route and take some pictures of the barns on some of those farms. Here are of few of those pictures.







There are many more barns on the route, some in better shape than other, but it's a very scenic ride.
Hope to see you at this years Pedal The Kettle - Sept. 21st, 2008 - Waukesha, WI
As a member of the club I won't be riding that day, I'll be helping out at one of the rest stops (probably the Rome stop just before the 60 and 100 mile routes split).

Safe riding all

The Saturday (May 10th) ride is the La Grange Exploratory - a 43-mile ride with many opportunities to shorten the distance. Generally, we ride westward to Milton before turning back towards La Grange.

The Sunday (May 11th) ride is the La Grange Figure 8 - you can pair this ride with the La Grange Exploratory (May 10th), and have little or no overlap. Ride options are approximately 20, 30 and 50 miles.

Don't forget, there's also the Tuesday and Thursday Show and Go rides every week.

Be sure to check the ride calendar on our webpage for start times and locations.
