in Group Rides, Bike Trips, and Events

BALLS was one of my favorite rides each year and I am sad to see it go.  I was wondering if there was any interest in doing a 1-day ride this spring...similar to the militant badger ride done in the past....basically a one day BALLS loop, sans the leg down to fib country. 

I would definitely be interested.

Good to hear.  I'll wait to see if there is more interest.  My tentative idea was to start/finish at McKee Farms park in Fitchburg (quite close to the Great Dane). It would have to be an earlier start. Not sure on whether to head out down Badger or Military Ridge.

Sounds good to me.  I know a couple other people who aren't on this forum that would be interested as well. 

I would be interested.  Reversing the route from the BALLS ride would be my preference.

A friend sent this one on to me recently via email.  it's a drive to the race, but................

Interest piqued.

My calendar says the 12th is a Sunday. 

Anyhoo, I was tentatively thinking of the 25-26th for the Uni-Baller

yep, the Grumpy Grind is on a Sunday.  I just signed up via the website.  a few of us going are planning on going down Saturday and camping overnight, if the weather looks decent.

Couple of us might be doing this in place of Balls:

There have been rumours of another self supported BALLSish ride in the spring. The initial idea has been to start in Madison ride down the badger state to do the loop clockwise and perhaps stay in darlington where there is a good campground or hotels depending on your preference.  Then finish up the next day, perhaps doing a lap of blue mounds if conditions are acceptable.

Rich, please contact me about this.  I would like to get something organized one way or another.
