Day 1 of Wisconsin Training Camp begins with instructions and icebreakers at the Asia Buffet. The Econo Lodge where the Camp is based was booked on the first evening with an local wedding. Lon and Susan wait for the group to arrive at Adriana's restaurant in Harvard, Ill. Check out the cool moo jersey - I want one! Jim has been dreaming of a Bike Friday for a while, he confesses. Here he is trying out Lon's Air Friday. They verdict? 'I Like it!' A lunch stop fo the fast guys is over in a blink of an eye.

Drafting the Ball's tandem is one way to eat up 60 miles.... One of the many ice creamery visits included in the tour... this one had a great malt milkshake. But a bad idea before some hills... Lon and John Hughes, Ultra Maratho Cycling Association president. Maybe I need this to go faster... Ice cream rest stop .. this is Wisconsin.
