3speed, I would absolutely love that if that's the way the cards end up falling. This will be in mid-August. I used to be a huge beer-geek too, posting on BeerAdvocate and all that and Madison, WI was a dream beer destination. I'm hoping to definitely get a nice mix of things to enjoy while there. I also like the idea of consuming a sizable quantity of New Glarus beer while there.
Obviously somewhere in all of this is riding a Schwinn bike in Wisconsin and having some eureka moment, and I was sort of planning on asking/begging/pleading for a bike from someone anyway so thanks for that
