Wow- it wasn't until I read your email that I went back and read your intro and what you said in your email clicked. So sorry to hear about your son, Clint. I hope your family is recovering and healing from your loss.
But I also see you're from my neck of the woods too- originally. I haven't done the entire Wisconsin ride yet. I'm hoping to do it this summer. I usually start from deep in the south Chicago and head up to Great Lakes and back to get my 100 miles. But I do now have a cycling buddy I can do this with in the summer. So it should be fun this time, since I won't be on my own. I'm also not going to make the mistake of doing it 1) without breaks and 2) without water!
Well, you know my plans- when I get back out to your neck of the woods, I'll definitely stop through, and I'll bring some Gino's East and Chicago style hot dogs for you. Swiss food may be good, but you'll never find food like that out by your red huus!
