Wisconsin....

Yes. This road goes to the cemetary....
Sunset near Manchester....

Judy and I drove over to Beetown, Wisconsin today to look for her ancestors. Didn't find them. We did find 20 miles of newly paved Mississippi Valley road. If you aren't familiar with eastern Iowa and western Wisconsin's terrain near the Mississippi you're missing out. It's like a little mountain range. Hills. Sweet. I should have taken my road bike. I could have ridden the 22 miles from Beetown to Dickeyville while Judy traipsed through cemetaries. Next time.

Ah well.... Hope those out on the GTDRI are having fun. 110 miles of NE Iowa gravel goodness. Same kind of mini mountains that we drove through in Wisconsin today, except they're on the other side of the river in Iowa. And they're gravel, of course. Lung searing, thigh burning climbs. Sketchy descents. Perhaps a bit of Stranahan's? Ya never know, do ya?

Have a great rest of the weekend.

Ride safe.

Peace out, yo!
