We Have Savored the Rolling Amish Countryside in Pardeeville, Wisconsin for the past 24 years, and are ready to do other things.
Thank you!
Pedal and Party is no more?
It was a tough decision. The ride has become too much work for us, and we would like to do other things. Life moves on and things change. We have loved doing this ride and meeting all the wonderful people, and working side by side with our Amish friends! To Quote Theodor Seuss Geisel (A.K.A. Dr.Seuss):
"Don't cry because its over, SMILE because it happened."
You can still visit Amish Country!
Gather a few friends, download the map (see map tab) or ride with gps route and ride! Just don't expect free breakfast burritos! But there are places you can stop for snacks and afterwards why not stop and get a burger at the Caddyshack bar for old times sake!
YOU have 4 Routes to Choose From!
Choose Your Route: 12, 32, 40 or 57 miles. Each loop will NOT be well marked but I bet you might see faded markings from previous years! You can download cue sheets
HERE.
Places you can stop along the way
Mishler's Country store, which is an Amish grocery store! On the 57 mile route, and another Amish Variety store known as
Stoney Acres Variety! Be sure to stop in and shop at every opportunity you can!
Jerseys?
No more jerseys are left., but if you want me to design a jersey for your club or event, contact me!

Pedal and Party Well with Others... the Amish Community!
We love our Amish Community Friends and they love having us! But they did ask me to mention something... I know its fun to get photos of your Amish biking experience! But
the Amish do not like to have their photo taken. So Please, do not ask them to pose for a photo, or take a photo of them. A distant photo of a horse and buggy or plow is fine. Please respect their wishes. This is why you won't see any photos of the Amish people on my website. Let's make the saying on the back of the jersey ring true! Thanks for understanding!

The Cause is NOT going away...
What did we Pedal and Party for for all of those years?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease.
Today, there is no cure for MS, and with diagnosis occurring most frequently between the ages of 20 and 50, many individuals face a lifetime filled with unpredictability.
This is Jane with her husband Steve. She has had MS for over 40 years, she does NOT Let MS Stop her! She bikes,
(over 2000 miles some years, and she uses only her arms), cross country skis, rock climbs, kayaks.... and she has even gone sky diving! She is inspiring! Imagine the things she could do if we could find a cure for MS! Lets keep working on finding a cure!
