Yesterday began with a 30 mile bike ride through Wisconsin country side with way less challenging hills. My goal was to ride from Fontana to Sharon (about 10 miles) have breakfast at the Coffee Cup and ride back. When I got to Sharon, I wasn’t ready to stop so I decided to do a 4 mile loop out through the countryside – which ended up being a 10 mile loop.
There was significant headwind on the ride back and I felt well-exercised. After cleaning up I tried out one more great place to eat in Lake Geneva before packing up and heading to Chicago to meet a friend for dinner. I spent just over an hour going 12 miles – traffic was moving – just very slowly. It was a lovely meal and then I took off for Lafayette,IN where I spent the night. I met a friend in Indianapolis for breakfast and arrived on this lovely acreage outside of Greenville around noon. The drive was beautiful through the country side.
The clouds were absolutely stunning most of the day. After lunch went to the Garst Museum in Greenville which is really well done. This is Annie Oakley’s birthplace and there is a large exhibit on her life and an exhibit on Lowell Thomas, the CBS Radio News commentator. There were many other exhibits regarding the inhabitants of Darke County Ohio – indigenous to more recent. I thought the museum was very well done.
Tomorrow will be a beautiful day for cycling – high of 79. Sunday and Monday will be warmer high of 90. I can’t wait to get out on the roads/trails in this area.
