The Harvard to Madison was so much fun. Actually, I was surprised at how many rolling hills southern Wisconsin has to offer. It's a whole lot different than the pancake flatness of Chicago. The best part of climbing the hills was bombing down the other side. One of the guys we rode with actually had some video footage of us bombing down one @ 41 mph. Excellent stuff.
I'll not ride crushed limestone if I have to. Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like I'm slower on it. And now I'm paranoid that I won't be able to see broken glass like there was in Waukegan.
Is Broadhead to New Glarus all crushed limestone? Seems like it could potentially be a lot of fun. That also seems vagely familiar...maybe part of a GLR route?
