Perfect weather for a ride today. Through Lake County along the back roads to Lake Geneva in Wisconsin. Pear blossom highlighting the hedges, countless bikers on the roads. Smashing!

Wisconsin Roads are made of cheese
Beautiful weather today and a great 200 miler over into the Kettle Moraine area south west of Milwaukee. Smooth rolling triads through elephant eye high corn. Stopped for a fine late breakfast at Whitewater, a pleasant wee town with historical downtown. Key Lime cheesecake was a fine accompaniment to the meat-lovers skillet! Good mates to ride with!

Burlington & Racine
todays jaunt saw us hoofing it into Wisconsin to find some good sweeping country roads. Through the quiet town of Burlington where we stopped to have coffee to the lakefront harbor at Racine.
Good weather was enjoyed too.

More road-trip sightings are the buildings and structures that are ridden past and stopped by. From the ecumenical to the agricultural, the retail to the residential. The bridge in the Duluth Harbor is one highlight for sure. A celebration of the mining and logging industry that created the Upper Midwest.

Eye-Spy
One of the great things when traveling around on the miles and miles of county routes, backroads, tracks, and byways is to see things along the way. I could stop every mile but then wouldn’t get anywhere! So many things are a fleeting vision as you speed past at between 30 and 60 mikes per hour. Neon restaurant lights in Galena; barns in Door County; a Red-spotted Blue in Duluth; breakfast cafe in Black River Falls; Muffler Man in Spooner; vintage Weiner cooker on Washington Island; goats (also W.I.); Dickeyville Grotto; Fresnel Lens, Split Rock. So many things to accessorize the adventure.

A marvelous jaunt
A Week on the road: 1560 miles, 35 hours in the saddle, two Great Lakes, many adventurous memories. And I’m tired!

Via Wisconsin
We’re on a multi-day trip through the Dairlyland of America. From the historic lead mining center of Galena IL we headed north along the Mississippi through wooded dales and along barn scattered ridges. Back roads, gravel trails, reedbed carpeted bottomlands, and sprouting cornfield amidst oak woodland. A splendid part of the State.

Fine Run
A great day up to Lake Geneva through McHenry County on roads bordered by spring blooming trees and emerging leaves. We stopped in at Morries Place where we spied another workshop filled with project bikes. An interesting cove called Jim was working on a 1929 Henderson X. A splendid Triton parked outside near to where Ed Zender was working on a BSA.

Breakfast of Champions
Gorgeous spring weather and a loop around Lake Geneva just across the state line into Wisconsin. I stopped in at Yerkes Observatory with its beautiful architecture. It’s open for tours now (though not today on the Easter weekend. Splendid day out.

Lake horizon
Rail crossing on a back road leading to Lake Michigan. Very pleasant riding conditions that I would hope to continue well into Fall.

Eyes Wide Open
– glorious weather for a decent jaunt around Lake Geneva WI. Stopped in at the big telescope in Williams Bay. Beautiful building that houses historical world class astronomical equipment. The dome behind the bikes has the 41” reflector.

Parked on a corner
Like some desolate sun bleached scene from a Sam Peckinpah film.

Waters Edge
– splendid ride into Wisconsin for a lap around this resort ringed weekend destination. A delicious cup o’joe was enjoyed at Steamers in Williams Bay. Lots of boats on the water and hoards of ice cream licking visitors in Geneva town. A few leaves on the odd maple we’re turning.

Lady Dawn’s
Local bar in Wisconsin with a Yamaha parked under the bright streetlight. The beef patty Lady Dawn burger was delicious.
