Even Tuesdays anyone?

Last night's Odd Tuesday was great, but a little short and a little wet :-). Thanks again Harold for hosting these rides!

Would there be any unofficial interest in riding at Hoyt, Oak Hills, Crystal Ridge or the River Trail on the even Tuesdays? Just curious who would be up for it?

MTBing in Milwaukee

Hi Everyone, 

I have recently moved to MKE for grad school at Marquette. I have been looking into some of the trails of milwaukee to do some riding(Joel's river adventure and the river trail) and was wondering how safe are they? I currently live down by Marquette and know that there are some bad neighborhoods on this side of the city as well as some up by the UWM campus. If anyone can give me some guidance, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thanks,

Nick

Public Hearing about a bike path over the Hoan bridge

Monday, November 14, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the DOT downtown office building located at 1001 W. St. Paul Avenue in Milwaukee.  Chris Larson and other elected officials from MKE will be there.  Unfortunately I will be in class, but a show of support would be a good thing.  Attend if you can.

Looking for people that would like to car pool to ride

I am looking to do more riding at some of the more technical trails in the state, which unfortunately are a tad bit of a trip from the Milwaukee area. I went to Cam Rock a couple weeks ago and its was soooo much better than what you can find around here.I find it hard to justify driving out to Madison, or further to ride for 2-3 hours and then come back. If there was a larger group that would like to go at one time I would go more often. Also, I think it would be safer than going alone in case…See More
