Bike Riding

Wednesday March 31st, Mary and I rode the Hortonville trail with our bikes.
We started in Hortonville and rode to the Friendship trail and back.It was about 17 miles.
The Wiowash Trail, which it is called, is probably not our favorite trail. It is a limestone trail,with lots of holes in it. It is used as a snow mobile trail in the winter and also people ride their horses on it. Consequently you find residue left behind, especially from the latter.

On April 1st, we drove to Green Bay and rode the East Fox River Trail. It was a delightful day with the weather in the low 70's, The trail was a easy trail to ride. We found it to be a very meandering trail, which went through residential areas, traveled along the East side of the Fox River and passed several parks as well as business district.

Round trip is a little over 12 miles. We went off the main trail several times to get in more miles. Total was about 18 miles for us.
We found the trail to be enjoyable. Plus riding through tunnels, under viadocks, over bridges, I enjoyed the rolling hills. We found benches, gazebos and several places to stop too enjoy a picnic lunch.
The trail started in the town of Ledgeview, continued through the Village of Allouez, and ended in the Village of Belleuve.

It was nice to see places to stop, if you needed a rest room.

We found the most delightful store at the end of the trail, called Grassroots Grocery. Owned by Patrice and Mike Krienke. You where greeted with wonderful fragrances of fresh bread baking. They carry many healthy foods, as well as organic.
Pat, was very accommodating. We had a really nice visit with her.
If you get out this way, stop to see what they have. on 2200 Dickinson Road in DePere.
