Lindsey's boyfriend escorted me out of Milwaukee this morning. He too is an avid biker and it was great to ride with someone again. It became apparently obvious how much the trailer slowed me down on the climbs as he shot ahead of me every time we started up an incline. It sure made the ride go by faster. It is crazy what a little companionship and conversation can do for a ride. He took me through the scenic route around the south side of the city and then saw me off once we got to the Western side of the city.
The rest of the ride towards Madison, where my sister lives, was pretty nice. Again it was a longer day, but I made very good time. As I approached Madison there was a gorgeous sunset right over the lake on the south east side of the capital. This was the third city in a row that I cycled into after dusk. This did not bother me because every time I would enter a city at night I had a specific destination and a person of whom I was going to be seeing shortly.
It was great to see my sister, I ended up staying an extra day so that I could spend a little more time with her. It was one of the first times that we had an opportunity to do something, just the two of us. Time well spent!
