My friend Chris and I rode 25 miles at the Alefest. It was fun, cool at first, but a beautiful day and nice ride. Great turnout for the first year event. Only complaint is no beer at the end??? That's just wrong. But we did have a 3 hour drive home, so for the best.
Glad I got to meet AintDoode, I noticed they were from Oregon and introduced myself. Susan for xcskiing next winter check out http://www.mvsta.com
you won't be disappointed with the 200km of groomed trails.
and looking at numbers... Chris had a fun one!
We checked out the river for Harlequin ducks, but didn't see any. But I'm coming back with my flyrod.Sally

Dh and I did the 50 miler. What a stunningly beautiful ride! The snow was a big shocker, though. We had hoped to enjoy the Alefest in Levenworth, but were too tired to find it when we were done. The waitress at the pub we settled on told us that the remaining 4 hours of the event weren't worth our money. so we ordered a pitcher of the local Hefewizen and called it our own private "alefest. Definitely a must for next year.

Yep, Kano, that's the one.....
And thanks for all the pictures y'all posted. I was so mad at myself for forgetting my camera. And we went to the Munchen House afterwards for beer & brats. Didn't see any other cyclists there, but the food/brew were wonderful.Tis better to wear out than to rust out....

It was great seeing you and raleighdon too! What a great weekend we had for biking! Originally Posted by mimitabby

I have Joe on a diet and I'm trying to get him back on his bike and back in shape. Weekdays are definitely out for Joe so I'm trying to get him out at least on the weekends!
