July 18: Update on the Route

Hey Drafters,I was able to do a recon mission on Sunday.  The route has a few imperfections to note.   When you enter Cross Plaines and cross 14, Hwy P to Stagecoach is closed.  No matter.  The road is ridable and actually, having it closed to traffic makes it a bit quieter to ride.  The second obstacle is construction on Blackhawk Road just before the intersection with Pleasant View, as you cross and turn left onto Deming Way.  Again, you can get through , but it is down to one lane so ride with caution.I would suggest one deviation from the original posted route (see Garmin link below): when coming home on Old Sauk, please consider turning left onto Twin Valley, and then right on Blackhawk.  This is more direct than the scenic tour through the Blackhawk subdivision, and offers a few more opportunities to climb hills.  Yeah.Garmin Link to Sluggin' It Out WestDraft responsibly,BrickO
