So does one expend more energy round trip going up a hill and then going downhill going back, or does one expend more energy going the same distance but flat both ways? First scenario you're expending a lot of energy at first, but then none the way back, second scenario you're expending equal amounts of energy both ways, but not as heavily as going uphill. I wish someone knew.
Yesterday I stopped of at the Mount Horeb post office beforehand, and ironically, I was mailing something to Norway. "Ooooh, it's going to Norway" said the postl worker. Mount Horeb is the troll capitol of...Wisconsin? USA? The World? Heavy Norwegian influence.
So we went from Waltz Park through the entire distance of the town. I figured that was almost 3 miles one way, probably about 2.75 or something. It was so much fun, probably the most fun bike ride I ever did. Sometimes when we go on these country trails, it gets a bit repetitive...trees, prairies, marshes, farm equipment, farm, rinse and repeat. But because this was going through a town, there was a lot of varied sites to see. It was also misting, so we were getting rather wet, and dusty, so we were covered with this veneer of trail dust attached by moisture. The trail went high above the city in some parts, as it was a former railroad bed. We ended up at the end of business highway 151 at the intersection of 78. Next time, we'll head toward Blue Mounds, probably next week some time.

That was a beautiful ride and I like the way the path is above the roof tops of houses in many places.
I think the most enjoyable ride so far was the day you saw a frog and we saw 2 cranes that looked like kites when they flew in to land in the marsh along the sugar river. I think we looked at the sandy bubbling spring that day too.
