Heavier than fog, yet lighter than mist,\u00a0but definitely 10 warmer than yesterday…..another beautiful day to ride.\"\"<\/a>Of course, sleeping in and not leaving until 8:30 had nothing to do with the disposition!! \u00a0 We rode past the nostalgic part of Eagle River \"\"<\/a>on our way out of town this morning. We mentioned interesting signage from yesterday’s wet ride; today we can show you the types of things we saw.\"\"<\/a> interpretation for this one….?!?\"\"<\/a> and when was the last time you saw S & H GreenStamps? \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We rode through the township of Three Lakes,\"\"<\/a> though we certainly counted more than three, but all beautiful.\"\"<\/a>We passed everything from cabin rentals, private homes\u00a0\"\"<\/a> to nice lodges and condos.\"\"<\/a>The winding and hilly roads\"\"<\/a> that surround all the lakes had protected us from the winds we had heard running through the tree tops,\"\"<\/a>but once out in the open fields,\"\"<\/a> we felt the full effect. Not happy about wind in the face and more hills than we had had in days, but it was a shorter ride today, so no room for complaining.<\/p>\n

We arrived in town shortly after noon, again seeing a great display of the American flag,\"\"<\/a>too early for check-in, we stopped for lunch. \u00a0We had planned on trying to get a massage with our extra time this afternoon, but the hot tub at our hotel had jets so strong they would propel you across the tub, so no massage necessary.<\/p>\n

We had to pedal a mile into town for dinner, but it was worth it.\"\"<\/a> Still haven’t found any Wisconsin made cheese, but “settled” for locally made ice cream….to die for! \u00a0\"\"<\/a>As we pedaled back to the hotel, the sky was getting ugly,\"\"<\/a> no worries tonight, we were undercover!\n\t\t
