Friday we parked on Erbe Rd. outside of Mt. Horeb and took the Military Ridge Trail up to Blue Mounds (around Division Street?). About 4 1/4 - 4 1/2 miles round trip most likely. It was hard coming back because the final leg was uphill. That was in the late afternoon. Then Saturday noontime we went to Glacial Drumlin, starting at Pohlman Park, and rode until Pioneer Rd. outside of Sullivan. Both of us swear the approx. 5 -6 mile round trip was uphill both ways. I was riding so slow coming back...I wanted to drop dead. My knee was in pain...yes, that knee. The Whole Foods slippery floor knee. The Fort Collins "I don't give a damn about you, but I'll tell you I will call you back and check on you tomorrow to see how you're doing" Whole Food. Bastards. Every time I feel pain in that knee when cycling or post-cycling, I will think of that fall and how much I hate that Texas Crunchy Yuppie Corporation and be thankful that we now have a Trader Joe's in town to give us a choice.

Sunday we did not bike. I was recuperating. But we did find the start of a new trail, the Badger State Trail. Starts on Purcell Rd. outside of Basco. Something to take in the afternoons now that the other ones are getting further away.
