July 18: Take 3 Update on the Update
A fellow Drafter has heard tell of cyclists getting ticketed on P between Bourbon Street and Stagecoach for ignoring the "No Thru Traffic" signs. I called the Cross Plaines non-emergency number to inquire, and was told that "technically" citations can be awarded, although the nice police man I spoke with was not aware of any that had been issued.With the recent cycling tragedy in Cross Plaines, I am inclined to play by the rules. The alternate route home is, as you might guess, hilly. From KP, please consider turning left on Scherbel Rd. Be CAREFUL crossing highway 14 and immediately get in your granny gear to climb up to Festge Park. From the park, things should look familiar as this is essentially the home coming from the Spring Valley Route. Turn right on Table Bluff, R onto KP, left onto Otto Kerl, right onto Enchanted Valley, left onto Schneider and home on the bike path.Sorry that I don't have a map or GPS coordinates. This is the best I can do on short notice.This is a good time to remind one another to ride safely, smartly and politely. Be sure to ride with somebody, and with a charged cell phone.Draft responsibly,BrickO
