Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin

One of us is an early riser and the other is an even earlier riser so we were ready to have breakfast at 5:30 but the hotel did not start serving until 7:30.  Therefore we started cycling south looking for a place to stop.  After 10 miles we found a place for coffee and doughnuts but that was not very satisfying.  Our next stop was 20 miles later in a bar that served breakfast.  It was dingy but the food was very good and the men took an interest in our trip.  With our early start we got to our hotel by 11:00.  While still early, the heat made us glad that our cycling was done for the day. 

We decided to spend another day cycling in Wisconsin. Other than a 5 mile stretch near our destination, the road was flat with good shoulders. The 5 mile stretch was through rolling terrain with not so gentle inclines.  Most of the ride was along the river and very scenic.  However, we did not take a lot of pictures because the rive views have been pretty much the same. Hopefully, we are not becoming jaded.
