Not much exciting going on in wisconsin since camp; school, eat, sleep, train, study, repeat. Pretty boring. But the weather has improved from Blizzard conditions just a short 3 weeks ago, so that is good. And the start of longer training rides means I get to explore further and further into the midlle of nowhere. Here is just a sampling of some things I have seen over the past week or 2.

1) Having to stop for chickens crossing the road

2) An old farmer in the biggest pick-up truck ever, almost hitting, me, then saying he was sorry b/c he didn’t see me behind that “gosh-dang-ol-post-there” (he was referring to the stop sign that he didn’t stop for)

3) There are still remaining snowbanks on the tops of the bluffs (and its 70 degrees)

4) Baby sheep running alongside me

5) 2 middle age scary guys in an old chevy astro workvan asking me to pull-over for a second while I am in the middle of nowhere (yes, I was scared)

6) Farms with Llamas and Yak’s

Thats all of the weird and interesting sightings for now.
