NEW EVENT!
Central Waters Brewery Ride
Saturday, July 12th 12:00 p.m.
Central Waters Brewing Company Amherst, Wisconsin
Time: Let's gather at 11:45 pm, so we can leave promptly at noon.
The Event: Now for something different: a Saturday afternoon ride followed by
some excellent brews in the Tap Room at the smoke-free
Central Waters Brewery in Amherst! This
will be a relaxed, social ride and bring-your-own-and -share snacks. The idea is to enjoy a
leisurely ride in the hills and country roads of eastern Portage County, returning to the Brewery
for that great Central Waters beer and snacks. If the weather is inclement, please come anyway
to enjoy the beer, snacks, and the socializing.
The Ride: We'll have a 100K (about 60 mile) route with short cuts for shorter routes. Maps will
be available day of ride. The long route may have road markings. No "sag wagon" will be provided,
so you will need to be able to fix your own mechanical problems on the road, although if you ride
with others, help will be close by.
Food and Drink: Please bring some snacks (chips, nuts, etc.) to share with all for us to eat with the
great Central Waters beer.
Directions: The ride will start at the new Central Waters Brewery, Amherst, WI.
From Hwy 10, exit Hwy B and turn left into Amherst. At the 4 way stop on Main St, turn
right. Turn left on Washington St (Hwy V) just before the train bridge. Continue up the
hill turning right on Allen St. The brewery is at the end of the street.
Things to Remember:
- The course may not be marked on the road.
- You will be responsible for getting yourselves back to the
start point. You will need to rely on the map if you fall back from, or get out
in front of your group.
- Even though we will be riding on country roads, remaining
single file or at most two abreast and on the right side of the road shows
respect for motorists, represents our club well and is highly recommended.
- Avoid Riding Alone: Everyone can help to make all Club
rides more enjoyable by finding other Club riders of about the same speed to
ride with. Get to know these riders and call them well in advance to make sure
you have someone to enjoy the ride with.
- And as always, certified helmets are required to be worn when riding at all Heartland sponsored events.
