17th Annual Pedal The
Kettle
Sept. 21st 2008
About
the Event
PEDAL THE KETTLE
(formerly the Spring City Annual Tour) - is a fully supported
bicycle tour
exploring the back roads of scenic Waukesha County.
Our route
will start in historic Waukesha, where in the late 1800's people
traveled from miles away to refresh themselves with the pure spring
waters and
beautiful resorts. Rides of various lengths will venture west into the
gently
rolling glacial drumlin landscape of the beautiful Kettle Moraine.
Routes will
be clearly marked and there will be cue sheets and maps provided. Sag wagons will
patrol the
ride route to provide emergency and mechanical assistance.
Rest stops will be
well stocked with water, high energy beverages and snacks
including; fresh fruit, bagels, and the Club's famous home baked
cookies. After
the ride, enjoy a delicious meal back at the school.
Proceeds
from Pedal The Kettle go to help promote local bicycling and charities
such as: Glacial
Drumlin Trail, Carl Zach Bicycle Classic, League of American Bicyclist, Safe and Sound
and others.
