How we invited ourselves to this Group Ride

on the Weiser River Trail

"Hi, my name is Rhonda H. & we live in Boise also. My husband & I rode the Northern Tier this past summer and met Patty & Chris in Washington state. We stayed at their farm for a couple days at the end of our ride. My sister saw this in Rails to Trails and sent this to me." They also had done the Northern Tier last summer (ronjonadventures.blogspot.com)

This was so exciting when we received this message through cycleblaze. Patty and Chris are Warmshowers hosts in Maine that we also stayed with on our Northern Tier ride last summer. Even more fun is how similar our monikers are Ronjon H. meet Racpat Hugens.

Rhonda's sister sent her a link to the "trail moments" article Rachel had written about riding through Wisconsin all most entirely on rails to trails. Trail Moments | A Tale of a Tour: Traveling by Trail in Wisconsin | Rachel and Patrick Hugens (railstotrails.org)

In visiting, they mentioned an upcoming ride to Mundo Hot Springs on the Weiser River Trail, being organized by Dave F. They will check with him about us joining. Another interesting connection that is in that article, we mentioned cycling through Barneveld, Dave's hometown.

We hear back from ronjon and all is good for us to join. Everyone going on the ride will meet at the trailhead in Weiser at 2pm, Earth Day.
