Day 41 Abbotsville/Colby to Wittenberg

69.55 miles, 1932 feet. Today was another day of corn, beans, and dairy farms. The first half of today’s route was on smooth pavement with a little less grade on the climbs today. Once we reached Rib Mountain, the traffic got pretty heavy. So we spent much of the rest of the day on trails. Some were paved, but most were rail trails with crushed limestone. The mosquitoes were hungry and in spite of having used bug repellent, they found places to bite me where I hadn’t covered. We arrived in Wittenberg a little after noon. Tomorrow is a rest day which is much appreciated after 7 straight days of riding. We will be heading towards Lake Michigan and the ferry in a few days.Read more
