Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin Miles/Total Miles - 75/2,425 Climb - 1,200Wow, what a beautiful day . . . They sent us on a bike trail for 35 miles today that was limestone instead of being paved. The trail was built on an old railroad bed winding through towns with the depots still intact and used as tourist information centers and shops. There were three tunnels that you had to walk your bike through using a flashlight because each one was about a mile long and curved with water leaking through the overhead and running in a stream down both sides. If you turned off the flashlight you couldn't tell which way was up. It started raining just as I left the dirt path and rained all the way in . . . being first in, I was wet but missed the mud, not many did.
I also have a bone to pick with this company (see Jenn, I can Bitch). The mileage I give each day is out of the brochure, but each day it seems a little bit longer. yesterday was really 92, the day before 91, then 102 and 106 . . . tomorrow supposed to be 90 which makes
five 90 plus miles this week . . . wow.A shot looking out of the tunnel . . . it was dark!
Wow, you weren't kidding about the tunnels. It looks eerie but awesome. I missed you tonight but was at Sam the Cooking Guy, and he was awesome. Alot of fun with Jenn and Lynnda. Hopefully you got your package from the hotel desk. Reinforcements. From the looks of things, you are officially 2/3 across our great country. You are indeed amazing!
ReplyDeleteBoy... Wisconsin looks like a beautiful state. Not too sure about those tunnels though...with our luck that light would have been a train heading our way! hehehe
ReplyDeleteGlad you're having such a great experience; and looking forward to hearing all your stories.

Oh trust me...I'd be bitching too! So you're really riding more like 4,000 miles. Crazy. It looks REALLY pretty there, but I could do without the tunnels. They look creepy!! Can't wait to hear more about this stuff...crazy to think you're coming home in about 2 weeks. Can't wait to see you. :)
