Hi Sandy,
Thank you for the information. It is very useful to our route planning.

Hi Terry,
We had a cabin near Antigo when we lived in Wisconsin. I rode there from Milwaukee. I took Hwy 32 north from near Sheboygan to intersection with Hwy 64. I found it to be a very rideable road. You would still need an easterly road to get to Manitowoc.
Happy trails,
Sandy
We are taking Hwy 64 across Wisconsin until Antigo then we are going to angle down toward Appleton. We will stay at least one rest day in Appleton and then go to Manitowac to catch the ferry. We will be on the ferry with July 27 or 28. How close does this align with your plans?

Hi,
Our would almost cross again....missing by a day, we think. We are in Danbury heading south tomorrow to Amery, and then the next day through Menomonie to Durand.
There's an Old Abe State Trail, 58 mi, from Chippewa Falls to Cornell, just east of Bloomer.
Are you headed toward Green Bay? At Weston (South of Wausau) there's an 83 mile Mountain Bay trail toward Green Bay, ends in Howard.
Happy Travels

3 years agoCongratulations on hitting 2000 miles!! Yes 🙌
3 years agoI am finally caught up on your adventures! Sometimes I wish I was with you but most of the time not, tee hee! You guys are seeing so much of the country, it’s amazing. BTW, I didn’t think bicycles were allowed on the interstate highways?? Different rules up there? Keep up the hard work.
3 years agoAh, those Minnesota bike trails. We will need to add this new one to our bucket list. We fondly remember riding the Paul Bunyan State Trail out of Nisswa a couple of years ago with Hilary and Rylan, though they were miles ahead on their road bikes while we were just cruisin' on some hybrid rentals. Same good memories with the Root River Trail in Lanesboro. I suppose this section of the trip has fewer surprises as you are familiar with the state and have some family visits ahead. Love your posts and we find inspiration in them for our much shorter & lighter bike travels. Take care, Paul & Amy
3 years agoHi Mary,
It was great talking to you on the trail. We met Elisa in Alexandria a little while later. Hope you continue to have a great tour! Also, you have been putting up some impressive mileage!!
Good luck and safe travels!!

So fun to meet you on the trail today! Enjoy the rest of your ride- take care, Mary

3 years agoMy Bellingham friend, Francie, referred to your team as the "Metal Hipsters". Sounds like a great name for a band! Do you have musical talent?
