Stage 8 - The Blue Train

Windy again today. Long miles again today. But it was a good day because Elvis had three, count ‘em, three cycling buddies to ride with. Mike, The Boss and Darin. Darin had family business way up north and decided to ride his bike instead of driving a car in a gallant effort to save the world. Mike, The Boss and I decided to escort Darin on part of his trip. It was fun saving the world and sticking it to the Saudis all at the same time.

We once again rode north which took us through the town of Cheeseville. A couple of readers have questioned the existence of a place in Wisconsin called Cheeseville. The name is almost too good to be true. Why anyone would doubt Elvis I surely don’t know but here is a picture of part of a dairy farm slap-bang in the middle of Cheeseville;

Cheeseville - It’s real

This northerly route also took us up and over the top of the monster climb referred to as The Wall. Elvis has done a good job over the past year avoiding The Wall and suddenly he’s climbed it twice in the same week. And during the Tour Challenge too. There will be heck to pay.

Today’s Mileage Goal: 54. Miles ridden: 61.
