When I turned 40 a few years ago, I imagined a ride across the U.S. to celebrate.  I had planned it in my head for a few years, but when it came right down to it, it was impractical.  As a married guy with kids and a business, I wasn’t gonna knock that one off the bucket list without ending up living in a van down by the river…

So instead, to celebrate nothing but stupidity, this July 15th at least 2 of us will depart on the inaugural “Windy 500” . This ride will cover 500 miles in 4 days – Brookfield, Wisconsin to Iron Mountain, Michigan and back.   No support, no agenda (except 125 miles per day) and no worries.  We plan to eat cheap food, drink cheap beer and stay in cheap places.  We plan to travel as light as possible, shipping a change of clothes ahead and shipping grungy stuff back. Anyone and everyone is invited, in fact the more people we have, the more fun it will be.  Not quite the “ride of a lifetime” but certainly the “ride of the _____ (something or other)”

If you’re interested, let me know.  We have 2 confirmed and a half-dozen additional interested riders so far.  Could be a blast, could also be a living nightmare, who knows?  There’s only 1 way to find out…
