Maywood Earth Ride
Location: Maywood near Sheboygan WI Event: Century Bike Ride Date: 9/20/2014 So this event came up on the radar only a week after my first 100m ride at the Peninsula, and I thought 'what the heck, why not'. However, unlike the previous week I decided to camp, using an...
Bike and Camp in Northern WI
There are many options for biking and camping trip around the State of Wisconsin. Over the coming months I'll be adding routes, trails, paths, roads and other information useful for getting out there and finding the best places to ride. For example, I've ridden the...
More problems with GT Timberline….
I'm fresh back from a 285m mini tour of WI, which ended Monday afternoon. I take Tuesday off and on Wednesday morning I decide to take a short road ride just to stretch and get some air in my tired lungs. A few miles into the ride I'm ascending a short hill, riding...

Wisconsin Campgrounds
I plan eventually to build a directory of campgrounds and other places to park a tent. For now, let me just say that the Bayshore State Park in Green Bay WI sucks. It's full of Yahoos with guns and unruly kids, and no one cares about the noise. Annie's Campground in...
Peninsula Century
Ride Date: September 13 2014 Event: Peninsula Century Ride Route: 100 mile Location: Sister Bay WI OK so this was my first Century ride, big deal. It wasn't nearly as tough as I thought it might be. My previous distance was way below a 100m and I was concerned that I...
