Cycled only a few miles to the bridge over the Mississippi River. On the other side, we entered Wisconsin. Most of the day was spent on bike trails. The limestone surface was actually much better than some of the roads we've been on during this trip. With no cars and no barking dogs, while cycling on the trail, we were very relaxed. When we entered our final destination of the day, the town of Sparta, I discovered that this town is "the bicycle capital of the nation." The first rails to trails, 101 miles long, was completed here in 1976.
How did you get up on that thing???
ReplyDeletegot home about 2 hours ago and finally got to the computer to see how yesterday's ride went. So glad that the trail was better than expected -- I know you were thinking it might be muddy. Hoping to get a ride in this afternoon before heading out to visit my niece and her family for a birthday party.
