A Chance of Snow

Snow in October? That was the promise anyway. It snowed in Sheboygan and Madison today according to my Facebook friends. And snow can mean only one thing. Cyclo-Cross is here; AKA Psycho-Cross. La Crosse is holding a cyclo-cross event on November 2nd.

palermo3bOf course with the chance of snow I had to go for a ride but unfortunately the snow never arrived. The photo is of Palermo’s from Three Bridges Park. The panoramic nature makes the river look as if it is bending. The sign asks people not to wander off the path and trample the newly planted native species. last time a road by several people who looked like volunteers were working hard at the planting.

DomesThe trail also gives great access to one of Milwaukee’s landmarks; The Domes. Entry is free  to Milwaukee county residence on Mondays before noon.

Of course Friday is The 2013 Wisconsin Bike Summit if you have yet to find your second part time job and have the time. It is topped off by the Saris Gala.

Now for the big event, the $40 question with not only the Doubler being in affect (see jackpot page) but also the Bonus Question is now activated for a chance to transform $40 into $120. My wife and I are contemplating attending one of The Band Perry concerts in Wisconsin over the next several months. I went to two concerts when I was in High School. Which two performances did I see?

Hint: They could both be labeled iconic. …or not depending on your tastes.
