Bender Park is maybe 30 minutes from Joe.
Bender Park is very easy to get to. It's in Oak Creek (Milwaukee County). From I-94, you exit at Ryan Rd (southernmost exit in Milwaukee County) and go EAST on Ryan Rd/Hwy 100 about 5 miles. Hwy 100 then dead ends at the stoplights at Hwy 32/Chicago Rd. At those stoplights, you turn LEFT/NORTH for 1 BLOCK, then take your FIRST RIGHT/EAST back on to Ryan Rd again (yes, Ryan Rd kind of zig-zags - it got rerouted back in 1984 when they needed to widen Hwy 100 - and I was still living on Ryan Rd as a teenager with my folks). Anyhow, you then follow Ryan Rd. EAST about 1/2 mile to the entrance to Bender Park. CAN'T miss it. Launch fee is $8 if you pretend to be from Milwaukee, and $10 if you blab that you're from out-of-town. Parking is immediately adjacent to the beach and they are ski friendly on the beach there. Be sure to bring a beach stand. The whole park, beach, "marina", launches, facility w/bathrooms is less than 10 years old and is very nice. It's a launch-only marina (NO mooring like Winthrop Harbor), so it's very small, and the no-wake zone is maybe only 100yds or so. They have 6 or 8 launch ramps, so it goes quick.
If anyone needs more info, please feel free to contact me directly.

Well, since I KNOW Pat has never been to Bender, but I'm assuming he's maybe been to Joe's at some point, I figured he would surely need directions to Bender.
Better fix your steering right this time. Rocks at Bender make the Nashville rocks look like bb's.
You started this on the other forum without including us? Well I see where we stand.[:p]

No my '09 FZR and My '05GPR. Maybe if we did vintage R/A
There is always the X2 class.
Good times today. 8-10 ft at times. Need to stay longer next time and put my pipe on the SX. Needs a little more on the bottom end to get up the waves.

Yep, good times yesterday for sure. I especially liked the part where I was lucky enough to live.
yes your were lucky. Really need someone out there just watching for guys that go down on a R/A. I know my ski got away form me once and I was lucky my buddy TJ was on the ultra to drag me back to it. I would never made it with out him. It was good times but also a bit on the F this your nuts to be out here.
