Biking in Wisconsin Day 5: Rain and the 1-pound prime rib

Back to Sturgeon Bay (and the supper club!) along the Lake Michigan side of Door County.

It’s time to turn south. Only 2 days left of our 6-day bike adventure from Milwaukee to and around Door County.

TIL Door County loves its cherries.

This is one of the coolest elevated boardwalks you will ever see. And I mean elevated.

New Jersey has 24-hour diners. Wisconsin has supper clubs.

Ships, shipwrecks, submarines and ice cream on day 2 of this Wisconsin bicycle adventure.

Now we’re starting to see small-town Wisconsin.

More lessons, from food and water to a couple of things I had never thought to bring.

Now I’ve got eight more, some sparked by comments from readers.

I bicycled to 3 of the Thomas Dambo trolls in Rhode Island.

Have you discovered Thomas Dambo and his amazing giant troll sculptures?

A photo-filled adventure on the Pine Creek Rail Trail in Pennsylvania.

I was riding a beast of a bike — one billed as hardy enough to handle Alaska’s unpaved terrain.

Suddenly I heard a pop.

One of the 32 spokes on my rear wheel had snapped.

Everything from the big stuff (bringing a bike from the U.S. and finding a route) to the little stuff (laundry sheets!).

I love our bicycle adventures in Europe. All DIY, all different.

And we’ve learned from each one.

After more than 220 miles, we reach the London Eye and the end of the our bike ride from Paris to London.

After riding more than 220 miles on our bicycles from Paris, we are at the London Eye.

This was a tough day: 61 miles and nearly 3,000 feet of climbing.

We’ve made it to England! London no longer feels so far away.

But if I thought Day 2 of our adventure along the Avenue Verte was challenging, Day 4 had it beat.
