Here are the locations i saw aid stations in 07, 09, and 10.
Milage is estimates based on memory so it might not be exact but it's close.
Out:
Whalen - Mile 12 - this is actually intended for the back only, but both times I have raced they were there already at 8:30 am and a few people were handing out just water bottles.
Loop 1:
Marsh View Road - Mile 17ish (good one as you are going slow here)
Mt Horeb High School on 92 - Mile 28
Cross Plains on Bourbon St - Mile 39 (fast and flat section - 2 sets of rough rail road tracks after this one)
Verona High School on Main - Mile 53 (sucks IMO as you will be flying at 25+mph)
Loop 2:
Marsh - Mile 60
Mt Horeb - Mile 71
Cross Plains - Mile 82
Verona - Mile 95
Back:
Whelen Road around mile 100 - just before the last climb of the ride.
As far as losing bottles, here is what I can remember as spots to watch for...
- Bridge on John Nolan
- Rail Road tracks on McCoy
- Some pot holes and rough sections on Whalen
- A couple bumps and rough sections on Sugar River - there are two almost speed bumps here that will launch a bottle but you can see them coming
- 92 has some rough pavement aronud mile 25ish
- Pot Holes/Crack on 8th after the traffic circle
- Garfoot and Braun has one nice big bump that I alwasy forget about
- Bourbon and P both have rough train tracks
- Stage Coach just sucks period, I just ride hard though this section so my teeth don't fall out
