Sept 30, Wed {WW} Bike Old Abe Trail. Meet at 9:45 a.m. at Old Abe State Trail, 13836 County Highway S, Jim Falls, WI 54748.Trailhead is on right side of Highway S as you enter Jim Falls, right across from Anson Town Hall. Start biking at 10 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 past Old Abe Lake {Old Abe was a bald eagle mascot of a Civil War Wisconsin Infantry troop} and the Chippewa River. 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 Hunt Brothers Pizza, 425 South 3rd Street, Cornell, WI 54732. If the weather is chilly, bring along layers, gloves, and a warm hat. 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.
