July 18, 2012 Madison Wisconcin


We drove up to Waterloo, WI to the TREK Bicycle Factory for the factory tour then we drove to Madison and Judy and I rode the Capital Path starting at the Sheraton Hotel around to the Olbrich Botanical Gardens with a High School class mate Paul Cummings and his wife Sue. We had lunch at the Great Dane, 

We stopped for a glass of Lemonade along the bike path and that is when Paul'e wife Sue noticed Judy had a flat tire, the very tire I had just changed after out last ride. Fortunately I had a new tube with me and I changed it out, Paul had his tire Pump , which was bigger than mine and faster at blowing the tire up and we used it to blow the tire up. I need a bigger frame pump.
We stopped at Williamson Bicycle Works and cooled off and blew the tire up the rest of the way and continued our journey



It was warm when we got back to our starting point, but we had an enjoyable afternoon and we talked about Paul and Sue coming down and riding the Hennipen Feeder path and Paul suggested we come up and ride a trail near where they live.
