Been super-lazy about blogging.

In a nutshell: Minnesota was surprisingly beautiful--Twin Cities seemed very cool. The riding was easy-going, the weather was mild. All good.

Wisconsin is really gorgeous, I mean more so than I imagined, really pleasant. Very pastoral. Very quiet.

Madison was a great town. Lots of people came out to ride with me a while; lots more joined me at the Java Joint. Thank you. I enjoyed myself a lot.

Thanks Rothschild!

Thanks Eileen!

I just may return there someday.

Riding into Madison, WI

The ride down toward Rockford was...ummm...not as great. It was a "4H" day. Headwind, Hills, Heat & Humidity. Lots of sweat.

Into Chicago next..."the windy city" they call it, which is fine as long as its blowing my way.
