Frank's Galena Weekend - Day 3

A popular club event (in its 7th year) put together by cross-country rider Frank Hassler. Enjoy three days of riding through the beautiful Galena Territories and surrounding areas. Past rides have included sections in Southern Wisconsin and Eastern Iowa. Ride length varies; but are in the 40-60 mile range. Be prepared for some hill climbing! (2,000 - 4,500 feet of elevation). Use this as an incentive to complete your season’s training goals. Overnight accommodations are the rider’s responsibility. Ride Friday, Saturday, or all three days.

Per Frank: "On Sunday we again meet at 8:00 AM at the Galena Recreational Park (1721 Field Street, Galena, IL) to start a ride to the Massbach Winery. We will ride though Eagle Ridge Resort with a stop at a convenience store, then on to Fort Elizabeth Historical Site. After a quick stop at the Fort we head to Massbach Winery for an early lunch of pizza. From there we take a back road into Elizabeth with a stop at a second convenience store to power back up to Galena. We will be on back roads. This is a no-drop ride. A faster group may push faster to Galena. I will be with the less fast group."
