Description
September 21, 2024 – Bike a history-spanning route as we travel around Madison and stop by the site of the original MCC as well as the place it all started, Camp Randall.
We’ll start at the current club in McFarland at 10 am sharp and ride across the Mud Lake boardwalk as we make our way to Camp Randall. From there, we’ll head up State Street and around the Capitol Square before riding to Burr Jones Field, the site of the original club. Finally, our return trip takes us along the north shore of Lake Monona as we make our way back to the current club. Here is a link to the route on Strava.
The whole ride is about 22 miles but you are welcome to join us anywhere along the route. We’ll take a short break at both Camp Randall and Burr Jones field. Here are some estimated times based on a leisurely 10mph pace:
- 10 am – Depart from the Madison Curling Club heading towards Camp Randall (we’ll stop at the Badger Statue that is right on the Southwest Commuter path)
- 11:15 am – Depart from Camp Randall heading up State Street and around the Capitol Square to Burr Jones Field
- 12 pm – Depart from Burr Jones and take the Capital City Trail back to MCC
- 1:00 pm – Arrival back at MCC for post-ride refreshments and socializing
The event is free but if you’d like to make a donation to the club, you are welcome to do so. However, we do ask that you at least submit this form so we have an idea of how many people to expect.
Hope to see you there!
