Always ones to over-prepare, we’ve got lists for every possible situation in our lives. Bike Trip 2013 is no exception to the rule. This is great, as it means that when we reserve an entire day for packing, we actually end up with a mostly a free day. Unfortunately, it also means that we’re idle and looking outside at a beautiful cycling day missed, and we’re anxious to get started.
We have a lot of things planned — camping at a half dozen state parks, a few family cottages, two bikes, and of course, two bikers. As far as our route goes, we hope it will be a lazy loop around Madison, WI, leaving from our home base near Sheboygan, WI. Somewhere in the ballpark of 500 miles, it won’t be a herculean effort, but we’ll probably (and gladly) shed a few pounds along the way.

So, while we’ve got a big-picture plan, we let the details work themselves out and take it a day at a time. We’ve got no reservations, and yes, we do make frequent stops.
