Sep 30, Wed {WW} Bike Old Abe Trail. Meet at 10:45 a.m. at Old Abe State Trail, 13836 County Highway S, Jim Falls, WI 54748.Trailhead is on the right side of Highway S as you enter Jim Falls, right across from Anson Town Hall. Start biking at 11 a.m. We will bike about 27 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 5-mile Norway pine loop through Brunet Island State Park. We will stop at several historic sites and learn the interesting stories concerning them. On the way back, we will stop for an indoors lunch in Cornell {home of the only pulpwood stacker in the world} at Dylan’s Dairy, 120 Main 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.
