I rode a lot in that Evansville-New Glarus area when I lived in Madison. Now, there's the New Glarus Brewery, which is a popular cycling destination, but it didn't open until 1993, long after I left the Madison area.

I like the ads as much as the articles.
What ever happened to Cycl-Ology? Their catalog was great. Really, it was more than a catalog.
