Lesson #1 Find a destination address ASAP or you might end up at the wrong place and realize it an hour late
Lesson #2 Be aware of time zone lines because your GPS is Smarter than you are.
Lesson #3 Call your local bike show to get information about trails.
After biking we jumped back in the car and headed north to Hayward. The long rolling glacial hills that make up a majority of the roads in Wisconsin are very monotanious. This was the first true test of our roadtripability. We both passed. Urban Spoon was our best friend during this trip. Considering we were always in search of local breweries, it worked out pretty well.
Our journey took us to a brew pub called the Angry Minnow. Unfortunatly for the rest of our stops, all establishements would be based on comparison to the Angry Minnow. Great Beer, and even better company. The bartender named John is amazing. If anybody is ever in Hayward they should look up this place, and hope they are fortunate enought to be served by this bartender.
No only going above and beyond by giving us three different varieites of beets on our salads (and who knew they came in yellow and in stripes), John believed that true travel is when you leave with only enough money to get there, and using your own devices to find your way home. He worked 50 jobs in 6 years moving all over the world. From Alaska to Istanbol, Turkey. Both an english major, and a poppy farmer he entertained us with stories from his past about farming for turkish royalties. He also taught us how to say 'Cheqauamagon' (sha-ma-gone) which is the name of the nationa forest we were planning on riding tomorrow. John had the ability of reading us poetry from his skull in the most calm and melodic voice it was soothing to hear the intenation of each verse. John continued filling our beer mugs with 'halfsies' until we were now conversating with the entire kitchen staff since they have now joined us at the bar. A Great night.
We also turned a mistake into a new drink. 'Compton Temple' Its a shirly temple with captian and coke instead of sprite. A overly sweet happy mistake.
