Cycling Advocates Ride to Pro Walk Pro Bike 2006

from Vancouver B.C. to Madison, Wisconsin

The last day promised to be a nice one. The Military Ridge Trail was a block from our motel. It was great riding on a quiet, well packed, tree-lined trail. It passed right through a few small towns. We stopped at Mt Horeb for a nice lunch on an outside patio restaurant. We only had to ride on a side road before connecting to the Capitol City Bike Trail. The trail was paved and it was not direct, but it was very enjoyable. We were able to get within 2 km of of the Country Inn Suites. At least Broadway had good bike lanes. After a short rest, we walked on Monona Drive for about 10 km round trip. The destination was Michael’s Frozen Custard shop, but we also discovered several eating places, including the Edo Japanese restaurant.
