Well, we set out this morning to do the Horicon Marsh trail. Apparently the GPS is possessed and it decided to play a little trick on us. Of the route that we had in there, we did less than 10% of it. We did ride through the marsh, and we saw lots of geese with goslings when we rode through. There was some beautiful scenery with rolling hills and lots of big trees. It was nice to see everything green and growing again. It was a little foggy, but not too bad. The sun came out here and there as we were riding, and I could feel it starting to warm up. We had to pull over before the end of the ride so we could take some layers off and lose the gloves.
I think we even saw an owl in the trees on the side of the road. Whatever it was, I just saw its butt and it was big. I figured it was too fat to be a hawk and Ed said the same thing. We ended up driving through Rosendale, then Horicon, then Beaver Dam down to Sun Prairie, and various little burgs on the way. Ed appears to be a bird magnet, since there were several times today that a bird came within a few feet of not existing because it almost hit him.
I guess we will be doing this trip again - only we will actually do the one in the GPS, not the one the GPS decides to take us on. It was a great ride, about 185 miles and 5 hours with a stop at the Arby's in Columbus for lunch and a couple stops for gas and stretching.
