7th year anniversary Madison, Wi.
Rock Cut State Park, Rockford, IL.
Atop the Convention Center Madison, Wi. 
The Yellow Jersey Bicycle Shop Madison, Wi. 
The Capitol, Madison Wi.We have been taking some small trips with a range of 2 hours by car around where we live. Feeling a bit stiffled , so we figured that that small excursions would cure that. We started the trips at the beginning of May. We have explored Freeport,IL. There we visited an Art Museum and found some beautiful gravel roads en route to town. We then headed out to Savannah, IL where we hiked the Palisades State Park and lunched at the scenic outlook over the Mississippi.
We also went to New Glarus, Wi to visit the Swiss Colony and the New Glarus Brewing Company, makers of the Uff-da and an awesomist Coffee Stout. Cheers Charlie!!
Last Sunday we focused our attention to Madison Wisconsin. There we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. What a great town! Bikes everywhere, great bike lanes, great food and even greater beer!
Today we went to Rock Cut State park to investigate. Walked for two hours, checked out trails and decided that at 40 minutes by car it is worth going there to ride. Good paved loop around park and many small trails. Will definetely take bikes there. For lunch we packed it at the India House on East Riverside dr. in Loves Park (suburb of Rockford) Great food and great Indian Beer.
Helmut should be back on Saturday from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and another intense session of bicycle riding will comence. The small trips were also another great opportunity to discover some different riding areas. I have this feeling that this will be a great summer.
See you out there,
Ari
happy anniversary!!! many more to come.... :)
ReplyDeleteAri, I am sorry I missed you in Madison. I live a block west of the Capitol. B.C.Johnson
ReplyDeleteCorrection. Ari, I live a mile west of the Capitol, not a block. I am still embedded on the UW-Madison campus. Check out the Wisconsin Ironman Triathalon in September if you can. This is Johnson, the madprops guy you photographed from Downers Grove in the 1990s. Happy anniversary! I need to get down to Illinois some time. I have not been south of the Wisconsin border since I escaped to Wisconsin in July 1999. May God continue to bless the Bucky Badgers of Wisconsin. People still go back and forth across the Wisconsin Illinois border with little difficulty.
