From Milwaukee to the Mississippi.

I made my way to the Dairy State on July 3rd. After stopping at Walmart for groceries (apples, peanut butter, tortillas, dark chocolate and plenty of canned goods for those wondering) I cruised down to Green Bay and then, Milwaukee.

Walmart run!

Great times were had at my buddy Benjamin's. It felt wonderful sleeping in a bed, watching TV, having cats around and having access to a full kitchen.

4th of July BBQ.

Next stop - beautiful Madison, WI. The state capital and an enormous college town, the city is vibrant and beautiful and must be one of North-America's best cycling cities. Car-free streets, dedicated bike/bus lanes and plenty of cycle paths.


Heading West, I decided against the interstates (as usual) and got quite lost on Wisconsin farm back roads. Eventually I did arrive at La Crosse on the Mississippi River. Another hidden gem, this town sports a southern character. 




After running local errands I took the historic bridge across the Mississippi towards Minnesota -- and what would turn out to be the prettiest highway yet.
