Event Description: This is a CACTUS ride - CATS and COWS Tandeming in Unison with Style! (A jointly sponsored CATS/COWS ride.) The ride will start and end at Kenosha’s Petrifying Springs Park. We are planning to have a picnic lunch at the park biergarten afterwards. The 36-mile route is basically a down and back on trails and low-traveled streets with great views of the Kenosha Lakeshore. The 46-mile route adds a northern loop on the paved and very nice Pike River Pathway and the Kenosha County Bike Trail.
Picnic Lunch: There will be a “bring your own” picnic lunch at the Kenosha Biergarten immediately after the ride. Bring your own lunch (or you may purchase food from the limited menu at the Biergarten - mainly bratwurst, pretzels, etc). Link to Biergarten menu: https://www.petsbiergarten.com/menus. A few rules of the Biergarten: They take cash only, no credit cards (ATM is on site). Food may be brought into the Biergarten, but drinks (including sodas or water bottles) are NOT allowed to be brought in. Everyone will need to purchase their drinks at the Biergarten.
