Has Labor Day snuck up upon you without warning?
Perhaps a quick escape to the La Crosse area would make a delightful last minute
excursion. This holiday weekend is the La Crosse Area Bicycle
Festival. It is simply one of the most beautiful areas of our great country
that there is. And if competition is what you desire, there is the La
Crosse Gravel Classic. It’s a classic. I competed in a WEMS Race long ago in
La Crosse. Good people out there and it is not as long of a drive as you may
think.
Don’t like the crowds? The following weekend,
September 10th, is the Pickwick
Historic Mill Run and Walk somewhere across the border in Minnesota. (DO you
know the Minnesota
Mountain Bike Series races in Wisconsin?) Brings to mind this 18th
Century Cooking channel we have been enjoying on YouTube. Half the recipes
seem to be for a pudding of some kind. How can you not appreciate
that?
Misao is on a project craze. She has been
creating mason jar solar lights from cheap solar lamps, canning supplies and and
a glue gun. I did the wiring for the hanger.
The Hugh
Jass is fast approaching. The Fat Bike Series
of Fat Bike series is back for this coming Winter. And it is going to be a bad
one. The squirrels are turning nearly black around here. Hugh Jass had Summer
discounts for a race series package. There are always fat bikes for rent, but
reserve one ahead of time. Wheel and Sprocket is the major player in supporting
local race series.
The Saris
Gala is going Olympic, if such
promotions and advocacy are your thing. That will be
November 4th.
Surprisingly, I have been riding quite a bit. I have
ulterior motives however. I keep my eyes open for Black Walnut trees in order to
harvest their fruits. Yes, you can eat them. I may make some Black Walnut ink
from the husks; or a wood stain. The exercise log is filling up.
A daily
bounty from the garden. Misao and I canned some bread
and butter pickles together. Sometimes it is better not to speak, especially in
the proximity of large quantities of scolding hot water. We went mishap
free.
The $140 question: What were my three most favorite
WORS
races? Keeping the same question. Check out
the Charity Jackpot Page link in the sidebar to possibly triple the
amount.
