Our last trip, The Biscuit Tour, was interrupted by Covid but now we’re all vaccinated and really looking forward to doing a bit of traveling. The desire to stay off airplanes and plan something that would keep us outdoors as much as possible led to booking a bike tour in Door County Wisconsin and that quickly blossomed into a month …

Uneventful drive to Corning today. Weather was good and there was quite a bit of road work but we were well supplied with podcasts and audiobooks. I’m knitting a sweater for Dolores so that keeps the worst of my back seat driver behavior under control. We stopped in Cobleskill for lunch at a restaurant that at least wasn’t fast food …

Arrived in Cleveland around 4 and easily found our hotel right downtown and a short walk from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What we didn’t find was any traffic! Maybe we’re in some weird corner of downtown but compared to Boston this city is really, really quiet. Thursday morning we headed for the R&R HoF and had a …

The hotel in Cleveland had a great evening drinks and snacks set-up from 5:30 to 7:00. It was really more of a dinner than just snacks – so that’s what we did for dinner both nights that we were there. We got a perfect score on our drinks cards as well. Yesterday was nothing much more than a 6 hour …

At the end of today’s ride, Greg (one of Carolina Tailwinds owners) met us at the van and said, ”now you’ve seen Green Bay, you can check that off your list.” I don’t think that it was on our list, or at least not very high on the list, but we have checked it off. We all had lunch together …

Day 2 of the Door County tour started with an 8:30 AM departure from Green Bay in the 2 CT vans. Doesn’t sound all that bad but when you factor in breakfast and luggage drop and getting yourself all organized to ride, it’s sure not a leisurely morning! We were well rewarded though as we departed on our bikes from Kewaunee …

We left Sturgeon Bay around 8:30 and quickly found ourselves riding in a cool mist along the shores of Lake Michigan. Riding again with Lisa and Lonnie which is great. Greg (of Ann & Greg Fleming, the owners of CT) was riding sweep today so he was with us as well. The first stop today was the Coast Guard Station …

Washington Island was the main event for Day 4 of the tour. We opted to shuttle to and from the ferry to get the most time on the island and because we’re not in the high mileage club. Our membership is in the clean plate club 🙂 We got the story on why this is called Door County. The passage …

Today we finally had the option, as Ann put it, to “get out from under their thumb” and I (Jeannie) was glad of it. We’ve logged more miles per day and in shorter time windows than I’m accustomed to and my legs are complaining pretty loudly! Tom and I opted to spend our day riding and explorng in Peninsula Park …

We shuttled this morning from Fish Creek to Brussels WI and commenced our final tour ride back to Green Bay. The weather was much cooler than it has been and the route was much flatter. Just what you’re looking for on that final day when everyone’s butts and legs are tired! The route started with some miles that were just …
