24 Miles on the Interurban Bike Trail

Today was a near perfect summer day for just about anything so we decided to take a bike ride on the Interurban Bike Trail from Grafton to Port Washington. In looking back at my photos of our bike rides, the last time we took this trail was in 2005. Wow, four years ago, time flies!
We started at the Veteran's Park in Grafton and headed to Port Washington. The lake was beautiful and we had lunch at the Dockside Cafe, tuna for me and turkey for John. After our lunch we biked to the public beach and walked the million steps up to the lighthouse and Catholic Church in Port.
We rode back to Grafton and had a snack before heading to Cedarburg. We enjoyed a walk around the quaint downtown of Cedarburg and had ice cream at the Chocolate factory. We thought we deserved it after our long ride. We rode back to Grafton and headed home for some yummy kabobs that John grilled for us!
Incidentally, of the 24 miles we rode today at least 16 of them were uphill! Some of it was tough, but we made it without walking.
It was a fun day!
Ready to begin our ride from the park in Grafton.

Yep, we are on the right trail! Arriving in Port Washington.

When we rode this trail four years ago we took this same picture. John says he still has it up at work and he has worked at three places since then. He must really like that picture, so we reenacted it today.
Our yummy lunch at the Dockside Cafe. Tuna for me and Turkey for John, Diet Cokes all around.
I took this picture just for Tizita. See I am waving at her. I thought she would enjoy this fish slide we found.
