    Hi Mike!
    Just a quick suggestion for you. Since you will be in the area of Spring Green(i.e., just west of Madison, WI) is Taliesin, which is Frank Lloyd Wright's school of architecture! It's a fascinating place to visit! Enjoy! --- Evan

    Hi Evan!

    Thanks for the note. It was a pleasure to meet you as well! Wisconsin is fortunate to have so many fantastic bike trails! Drumlin is/was unreal!

    I also wish you well in your near future XX trek!

    All the best -Mike
