GRABAAWR Day 3

Today we rode from Merrill to Steven’s Point – for a distance of about 66 miles. We had some interesting hills today – but mostly it was rolling hills. We saw one accident where we think the person broke his collar bone – but not sure. Janelle drove the SAG vehichle today all the way from Merrill to the motel. but did stop by a farm for a picture with some cows.

We had lunch at a church in Mosinee and then headed out to get to the finish. We didn’t stop at the cheese factory, but noticed the park where we ate lunch in 2002 where Patti and Ruth prepared a picnic feast overlooking a lake.

We were joined on our ride today by Chuck the Christmas Chicken sponsored by the Guilford family. Chuck is a very well traveled rubber chicken – having been all over the world.

At the finish we went to the school and asked for directions to the Stevens Point Brewery where they were serving food and free beer.

While getting directions we met some locals who recommended Rusty’s Backwater Saoloon for a place to eat dinner. We tried it out and it was very interesting. They had great homemade french fries.

Tomorrow we will be heading out from Stevens Point with a destination of Adam’s-Friendship. The milage tomorrow should be 69.2.
