Hi from Wisconsin
 

Hi all; just started this thing called biking about three years ago and now I'm hooked. First bike trip was the BAK and I can't believe it took me so long to do it. My father in law has been across the country twice and has begged me for twenty years to do some states with him, I have never met so many great people in such a short time. Looking forward to getting to know some of you also. I have lots of questions.

Relay this message to your Dad-in law. Crossed twice? Now you are ready for PAC Tour, run by Lon Haldeman out of Sharon, Wisc. Only have 3 weeks of vacation? That is all it takes. How fast dp you have to ride to aviod mosquitos?

Dad-in law is 76 this year and he'll still do 75-100 miles a day when he's on a tour, we're signed up for two this year already.

Where in the state are you?


I am just out side off madison.


Welcome to the Forum

Thanks, from the Plymouth area.

Wisconsinites Unite! I'm up in northern WI close to Rhinelander but I'm in Upper Michigan at the moment.

Hi there lubers. There seems to be a fair number of us Wisconsinities on this board. It lends to the talent herein! ;)

Mmmmm...cheeeese.....

I get to the plymouth area quite often as my folks go camping there and my Gf's folks live in elkhart

Another Badger checking in................I'm a senior (65) and do a lot of road and paved trail biking on a Giant Revive (semi-recumbent). I heard there are some great paved trails in your area. Can you fill me in on some of these?

Here's another Badger from Beloit. I do road riding with my road and touring bike and just bought a Scott Sub30 to ride around town for fun and errands.

Hello fellow Cheeseheads! I jstarted biking about a year ago in Milwaukee and my wife and I just moved to Dodgeville. When I ride out here sometimes I really miss the flat roads of Milwaukee! But then the views from teh tops of the hills more than make up for it!

Better yet-think limburger cheese MMMMMMMMMM from yet another Wiscon.

Hey rck ... where in SW Wis? I was born and raised in Lancaster. I get back there once in a while but the hills are a real shock to my Chicago legs.

Feel free to PM or e-mail me there neighbor. Maybe we could pedal together sometime.

Yes, there is a East West trail called the Old Plank Road Trail. Runs from Sheboygan (near I-43) to just past Greenbush, starts smooth & gets a few small hills out on the west end. It is paved the whole way with small towns along it. If you locate State Highway 23 on a map, the trail runs along side, but totally separate. I'm less than a mile from it.

THANKS! My wife and I will definitely give it a try this spring or summer.

Hubs, Live in monroe, south and east of lancaster. Although I've done some fishing in that area, I haven't done any riding. I know what you mean about the hills. I'm thinking of a new bike with a 12-27 cassette and a 48-36-26 triple upfront.

i'm moving to madison in the not too distant future. i have a road bike that i'm looking to ride to work/school and am hoping to buy a MTB cheap for weekend fun. i look forward to finding out more from the "cheeseheads" on great rides!

I'm not in Wisc, but wanted to say Hi anyway. I would love the opportunity to ride cross country. Maybe when I take a sabbatical.

Peace.

Wow, looks like we've got almost all parts of the state covered here. I'm in Eau Claire, dreaming of someplace warm. Or at least someplace with no snow on the ground. I admit to being a fair-weather cyclist, so I stick to jogging (the horror!) in the winter, and boy are my shins killing me. Bring on the melt.

Las Vegas via Fond du Lac!

I spend Thanksgiving week in La Crosse every year - does that count? :D (The weather is absolutely wonderful that time of year.)

Looks like this week it starts. Keep your fingers crossed! :D

Not the best time for mountain biking, though. Unless you've got a blaze orange jersey.
