I have had a great few days in Madison, WI with Marla's sister, Elisa, who sleeps so much it makes me tired! Chilled out on the Terrace with beautiful sunset and watched people try and windsurf as well as seeing 7-Bags and getting some great food, like Ian's 20" pizza!
So... being who I am and liking a challenge, I thought I would try and get to Baldwin, WI in a fairly short time. Luckily I had rails to trails to aide me, i probably cycled about 80miles of the way on them alone. So... The first day I pushed it to Sparta, a 110 mile in total. Yesterday, thinking that that wasn't enough, I somehow, managed to cycle over 130miles to Marla's mum's house. It pretty nackering and means you have a lot of time on your seat. But I did get to see a bald Eagle as well as the Missippi and a massive turtle. I just don't think I could do a 100 every day, but at least I now know that its possible, which means that I can do it again if I need to. Its nice to know that I can really push myself when it is required of me.
My legs feel a bit tired now, but its nice to be here a bit early, and I had a lovely tour of the Hei's many acres of orchards, and vegetable gardens, had a lovely fresh apple, berries, cucumber!
Going to go through all of the stuff I sent here and to think about what i need for Montana etc. Bob has helped me to look at a good route (212 for any of you interested).
