We have our second day off in Madison, WI. It is a great town lots of bike shops, tons of bike lanes, a lot of little cool shops, so many cool things to see. It is very much centered around the University here. While we didn't do anything crazy like sky diving, but walking around town, having some of the best ice cream ever (Chocolate Raspberry Truffle) was quite enjoyable too.
We are preparing for another century ride into Gays Mils, WI and we'll be crossing over the Mississippi in a few days, tomorrow will also be one month into the trip. At the same times it seems like just yesterday we started but also we've been on the road for a long time.
On our way to Madison part of the road was flooded (about 50 feet) so cars couldn't get through, but many people took off their shoes and walked, but a select few (including me) decided to take off our shoes and bike through. It was very fun, warm water, and a nice break from pavement.
There's not much else to report from Madison. Before I go I'd like to thank my Grandma for my package, many people were enjoying the smoked salmon. And thank you to Bruce and Nancy Bell for their donation to Bike and Build.
