We finally made it to Wisconsin! La crosse is a very cute town. Karina and I had a nice walk and checked out the river and downtown.
The morning stArted out at a good clip- I ride with karina for about an hour and a half. Then stopped to take a pic, and look at another geological marker. Caught up with sue and Ellen- my pals the rest of the day. Hello Wisconsin!
Then we decided to try the dirt road:trail. Mary joined us as we escaped the crowded sag stop- drenched in bug repellant. After a nice stop to look at the marsh from a lovely refuge interpretive area- we looped around and saw it again!!! Mary asked the rangers for directions, and I peered at the kinda bad map...we all came to he same conclusion. And escaped the loop!!!
The trail was amazing, smooth and fun! We spent about 32 miles off of streets. The cue sheets were not good on the trail, but were quite good to cross lacrosse- except the mileage when we emerged from the trail was terrible...so it took an odd wandering to the highway, an iPhone consult, and mary's brilliance to get us back pm track. After that- a greAt 4 miles to the hotel.
I'm tired, but happy to have made the decision to drink in the ride- because the endpoints aren't always so fascinating(though a long stop in la crosse would be great!)
