Horicon Marsh Part Deux

Today we made the GPS take us on the Horicon marsh trip. It was a good ride. Lots of hills and curvy roads. It was really, really warm though, and I got pretty crispy. I'm not ready for 90 degree temps yet. We left at 8:30 and it was over 70 already then, and it was 84 degrees (feels like 88) by the time we got home at 2:30. We went a total of 215 miles. The wind didn't even feel cool when we were riding, and there was a 10 MPH plus wind today. The highlight of my day was riding through the Town of Leroy (our last name).

We had the roads to ourselves most of the time, so we could go slower if we wanted to look around more. There were a few breathtaking moments when we would reach the top of a hill and look down on the green valleys below. Lots of farmers were out getting their crops in or getting the fields ready for planting, so we had to contend with a few tractors on the way as well.

We ended the day by dining at the always tasty A&W restaurant in Oshkosh. Taking the back roads was awesome during the ride, but we forgot to allow for stopping for gas, potty breaks and food! Luckily when we needed the first 2 there were gas stations we could stop at, but we waited until we got back to town to eat.
