Event Description: This is a CACTUS ride - CATS and COWS Tandeming in Unison with Style! (A jointly sponsored CATS/COWS ride.) The 24 mile route is basically a down and back on trails and low-traveled streets with great views of the Kenosha Lakeshore.  The 37 mile route is the same as the 24 mile route with the addition of a ride through the lakeside neighborhood of Carol Beach and a trail loop on the south end. The 47 mile route is the same as the 37 mile route with the addition of a northern loop on the paved and very nice Pike River Pathway and the Kenosha County Bike Trail.  All routes will start and end at Kenosha’s Petrifying Springs Park.  We are planning to have a picnic lunch at the park biergarten afterwards.  By the time we get back to the biergarten after riding, Flannel Fest should be kicking off so things should be pretty lively!

Picnic Lunch: There will be a picnic lunch at the Kenosha Biergarten immediately after the ride. Lunch options: 1. Order from the biergarten (mainly sausages, giant pretzels, and German pizza) Menu Link
2. Food trucks are scheduled to be onsite for Flannel Fest
3. Bring in your own bag lunch. This is allowed, but drinks are not allowed to be brought into the biergarten (other than clear bottles with water only - otherwise, all drinks must be ordered onsite).

The biergarten takes cash only, no credit cards (ATM is on site).
