AFTON ==> BROADHEAD ==> NEW GLARUS
Once again, we are embarking on our annual trek in search of Spotted Cows! Join us for a scenic 47 mile ride from Afton to Brodhead to New Glarus. This is generally a one-way ride, so plan to (a) RIDE the VelociBus (details below) (b) leave a vehicle parked in New Glarus, (c) have a friend / spouse meet you in New Glarus, or (d) to turn around and ride back!
NEW this year, we are teaming up with Velocity Multi-Sport & Cycling and will be riding alongside owner Scott Wente to celebrate his birthday. Velocity is donating their "VelociBus", fuel and a driver for this event which holds 12 people + bikes. They are selling seats on the bus for $50, which includes transportation of a luggage bag TO New Glarus, and a ride home with your bike to Afton / Janesville. The bus WILL be departing New Glarus by 5:30 pm to return home. The money generated will be donated to the National MS Society for Curt's Bike MS fundraising. Seating is limited, so contact Scott (608-361-8075) / FB messenger, or Curt (608-352-0227) / FB messenger to secure your spot!

Anticipated arrival time in New Glarus is approximately 2:00 p.m.
There is ample parking near the trailhead in New Glarus. The Village pool is nearby with shower facilities to get cleaned up after the ride (small fee $3 to use showers).
We will plan to meet at Puempel's Olde Tavern, on 6th Street in New Glarus to enjoy a Spotted Cow or two after the ride. New this year, Dirty Dog Taphaus is also nearby and may be an option for post ride hydration. For those that stick around, we may also find dinner in New Glarus later that afternoon.
***IMPORTANT*** There will be NO support offered during this ride! Plan to stick with a buddy and be prepared with maps, cue sheets, spare tubes and a cell phone to phone a friend if you need assistance. YOU are responsible to get yourself from the start to the finish line. As there will be riders with many different ability levels, you may get dropped from the pack you are riding with. Plan accordingly!!
