ALBERTO CONTADOR NEVER HAD THIS MUCH FUN DANCING ON THE PEDALS

This morning, after a delicious breakfast, we took a half hour shuttle to the start of the Elroy Sparta Trail.

This is “The Mothership of rail trails. It is the first rail to trail conversion in the US in 1967.

It is a beautiful trail.

From here the concept spread throughout the US.

This is the innovation that makes America great.

The trail surface is hard packed gravel, so tires roll very well

There are three tunnels on this trail of varying lengths.

This was the first of three tunnels.

We guessed the length to be 3/4 mile.

Lots of water dripping. Even with lights we walked through it because the surface was damp and slippery as the sides tapered off.

The real beauty was no cross traffic. So the music came in the head phones and it was like a 40 mile spin class.

U just let the music dictate the pedal cadence and you are flying along.

Literally dancing on the pedals SO MUCH FUN!

After we got settled , I had laundry to do and next door was the great bar, good music, witty and welcoming bartenders It is called

Public Parking.

If your ever in Madison, it is worth a visit

So from the Capital of Wisconsin I’ll bid you a good night.
