That and it is very cyclist friendly. There are 2 races (in non-covid years) around these parts. The Firehouse 50 is a 50-mile road race and the Chequamegon Fat Tire 40 is a single-track/all-terrain race. So even though it is a bit Deliverance out here (a guy and his 2 dogs chatted me up a bit too much when I was taking some pictures of the Marengo river), you stop in the quicky mart or wherever, they are genuinely interested in your ride.

Even have a coffee house in Cable, population 400-ish, for cycling folks. Better than where I live with a population of 40,000-ish. All I get there is "get off the f***ing road".
