Sept 13, Wed {WW} Bike -- Return to the Old Abe Trail.  A few of us did this ride last year and had such a great time, we will try it again!  Meet at 11:00 a.m. at the Old Abe State Trail, 13836 County Highway S, Jim Falls, WI  54748.  The trailhead is on the right side of Highway S as you are entering Jim Falls, right across from the Anson Town Hall.  Start biking at 11:15 a.m.  We will bike about 25 miles round-trip along the most beautiful section of the Old Abe Trail on a smooth, flat, asphalt surface through a canopy of trees, going along Old Abe Lake {Old Abe was a bald eagle mascot of a Civil War Wisconsin Infantry troop} and the Chippewa River.  This ride includes a 3-mile Norway pine loop through Brunet Island State Park.  On the way back, we will stop for an indoors lunch in Cornell {home of the only pulpwood stacker in the world} at Sam’s Place.  This is about a 2-hour drive from the Twin Cities, but the biking will really be worth your time if you can make a day of it.
