Event Description: This is a CACTUS ride - CATS and COWS Tandeming in Unison with Style! (A jointly sponsored CATS/COWS ride.) The ride visits four lakes in SE Wisconsin. Approximately 1/3 of the route goes through lakeside neighborhoods and 2/3 of the route is on country roads connecting the lakes. Most of the country roads are low traffic, but there are a few stretches with moderate traffic. The route is a mix of hills and flat sections. There are a few short steep grades. The 45 mile route visits all four lakes, while the 29 mile option cuts out Bohner Lake. The ride begins at Silver Lake Park, visits Silver Lake, Twin Lakes, Powers Lake, and Bohner Lake before returning to Twin Lakes for lunch at Wild Child’s Restaurant and ice cream at Tom’s Straw Hat. We then we ride the final seven miles back to the cars at Silver Lake.
