for everyone who ever told me to go play in traffic (with apologies to travis hugh culley for stealing his line)

I did this last week. Out to Osceola on Tuesday night after working for eight hours fixing bikes, back to Mipples on Thursday night after my annual "let's go out into rural Wisconsin and talk about stuff" work retreat. For a real sense of the fun check out the elevation profile.
And yes, by the way, that WAS a totally shameless plug for my shop.
