Rusty’s Color of Fall Ride

Saturday, October 11th
1:00 p.m.
Rusty's Backwater Saloon
1715 West River Drive
(7 miles southwest of Stevens Point on West River Drive.)

The Event: Join your fellow cyclists for a ride from Rusty’s Backwater Saloon at 1:00 pm on Saturday, October 11. Enjoy the Fall colors on two routes of either 50 + or 35 miles through great country roads of Portage and Wood Counties. Hopefully our ride will feature sightings of migrating fowl and other wildlife, and the colors will be at their peak.

Directions: Rusty's is located approximately five miles southwest of Stevens Point off of Highway P on West River Drive where Mill Creek empties into the Wisconsin River. A more scenic route is preferred by taking West River Drive along the Wisconsin River, about seven miles with light traffic making it a great bike ride from Stevens Point.

The Ride: Rides of 50 plus and 35 miles will be mapped. Shortcuts will be available. Routes will have NO gravel roads. Maps and cue sheets will be provided for each ride. Stick around after the ride for lunch at Rusty's--they have great hamburgers and we'll have great conversation!

The Eating: Those who want to stay and enjoy the non-smoking bar and restaurant are encouraged to eat with us "Dutch treat" after the ride--you might be surprised at their extensive sandwich menu. Even if you can't make the ride, come join us about 3:00 pm. Rusty's does not accept credit cards, but does have an ATM on site.

Avoid Riding Alone: Everyone can help to make all Club rides more enjoyable by finding other 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.
