Greetings Katy. Have you ever ridden Badger State Trail? I'm planning a weekend ride/camping from Freeport, IL to your town on the bike path sometime this summer. Mosquitoes bad up there?

I haven't! I've ridden Military ridge though, and it seems like those rails to trails are kept up really well. The mosquitos are fairly non-existent in the early part of the summer. I don't know about the later part. Thinking of going on the Randonneurs ( https://www.glrrando.org/ )?

I notice the Randonneurs aren't represented in Madison. You might consider certifying some routes in your beautiful area/state?
