Sorry that it's taken me so unforgivably long to update, but I have a few blog posts from last fall that I haven't had the chance to put up. I plan on going on many, many more bike rides around the state in the Spring and Summer, but I had two good days last fall to get on the bike, so that's what I did.
Ride 1 (Silver Lake loop; 22 mi, 2 hrs):
This was just a nice slow ride through the countryside, with some puke-inducing hills thrown in for good measure. The first half was flat enough, but it turned into a long, slow, uphill grind after I ate lunch at the gorgeous little Silver Lake State Park.
Ride 2 (Brookfield and back; 27 mi, 2hrs):
This one was a few weeks later, and was really the end of the season for enjoyable bikes rides (the end of my season, at least). I think it was in the high 50s when I started, and it dropped by 10 degrees or so when the sun went down. It was all on paved roads, unlike the first ride, which was a plus, and I got some unneeded breaks getting caught behind tractors on curvy roads (both being driven by adorable old ladies).
