About the Event
The Spring City Spinners Bicycle Club sponsors an annual tour each fall (the 3rd Sunday of Sept.). Pedal The Kettle (formerly the Spring City Annual Tour) is a fully supported bicycle tour exploring the back roads of scenic Waukesha and Jefferson Counties.
Our route will start in historic Waukesha, where in the late 1800's people traveled from miles away to refresh themselves with the pure spring waters and beautiful resorts. Rides of various lengths will venture west into the gently rolling glacial drumlin landscape of the beautiful Kettle Moraine.
Route Overview
Routes will be clearly marked and there will be cue sheets and maps provided. Sag wagons will be available to provide emergency and mechanical assistance.
Rest stops will be well stocked with water, high energy beverages and snacks including; fresh fruit, bagels, and the Club's famous home baked cookies. After the ride, enjoy a delicious meal back at the school.
Proceeds from Pedal The Kettle go to help promote local bicycling and charities such as:
Glacial Drumlin Trail, Carl Zach Bicycle Classic, League of American Bicyclist, Safe and Sound and others.
