Spent some time riding in these areas last week. These are really wonderful places to ride - unless your not fond of hills. Here's a recap:

6/4 Baraboo 45.9 miles, 14.9 ave, 3,300 ft of climbing. Alrighty - I found some hills!

6/6 Madison to Daleyville 62 miles, 14.4 ave, 5,481 ft of climbing. Hilly, windy, and for the last half it was wet. Toughest ride of the year for me. I followed the "Daleyville Dip" route from the Bombay Bicycle Club book of rides found at Madison LBSs.

6/8 Green Lake - recovery day. 27 miles, 15.0 ave, 1,200 feet of climbing. Glorious.

6/9 Green Lake 43.7 miles, 16.1 ave, 1,930 ft of climbing. Another beautiful day in paradise.

Hey Bill I am writing this from Green Lake WI and it is just breath taking here. I have spent some time in the Baraboo hills and south during the HHH.

Hey take some time and post some of your rides at www.madvelocity.com (http://www.madvelocity.com). I am working on a Google mapping feature and could use some input as to how to best implement it.

I am new to the road biking world and I am really enjoying the Madison rides. They have been great so far.

Hey Drone,

If you have Tuesday PM's free there are a tone on rides in the Madison area to choose from. Which ones have you done and which ones do you prefer?
