Wisconsin Dell, Wisconsin - Day 33

Another misty morning to start our day. Both of us love the morning sections of the ride. In the fog today everything seems so still and peaceful and magical. We sped passed the towns of Bangor, Rockland, and Wilton in rapid succession creating the euphoric hallucination that we were already in Maine!  We passed idyllic farms nestled in rolling hills. Just like yesterday, the middle part of our day was broken up with a stretch of "Trails to Rails". Today we mosied along 30 miles of the Elroy Sparta Trail without traffic. Because we had to walk our bikes through three tunnels that were built around 1900 and ride on dirt, it was a long day. By the time we got to the last SAG with thirty miles to go we definitely needed the huge cups of ice coffee we hunted down in the little town of Elroy to help us "get 'er done" and pedal into our fave, The Best Western. Dinner at Denny's was not half bad; it just took two hours - a bit distressing when you are ravenous. Now we are ready to finish our blog, lay out our clothes, and get ready for an 84 miler tomorrow.


According to Trip Advisor,Wisconsin Dells is the number one family vacation spot in the US and number three in the world. Seriously. Can you believe you'e never been here?
