Century Ride into Madison

Wednesday July 17 of the Big Ride was a 99.2 mile ride from Viroqua to Madison Wisconsin.  We were once again blessed by a steady tail wind and cooler than normal temperatures.  Don't get me wrong, it was still hot for Pacific Northwest standards, and extremely humid (100%).  I was sweating and soaking wet the entire time.  The first 40 miles was on beautiful rolling terrain through the Wisconsin farm country.  After that we were back on Rt 14 again and made good time on the flat run into Madison.  I covered the distance in just under 7 hours.  We have earned our 6th rest day here in Madison and are staying in the dorm at the University of Wisconsin.
