Troop 72 55-mile bike trip, Sept. 2006

Troop72.com hit the trail, but this time with wheels. They bicycled from Chippewa Falls to Brunet Island State Park and back, a total of 55 miles over two days! As in 2003, they biked the entire length of the Old Abe Trail from Lake Wissota to Cornell. But this time they got to add the new trails right in Chippewa Falls, going behind Leinenkugels along Dnncan Creek, then along the Chippewa River to the Pumphouse area, and then through the new business development by the hospital and across the Chippewa River on the restored railroad bridge. We had 42 tires, and not a single flat!

Thanks to dads who joined us on the trail (Larry Hoffman, Darin Thomas, Steve Nutzmann, John Burgess), to the mom who brought lunch to us in Jim Falls (Julie Schaller), and to the dad who hauled the trailer of camping up and back again (Scott Tillotson). It was great to have SEVEN adults helping out! The fifteen boys who came had a great time and are eager to do it again.
