Day 6: Home: Mile:2361.8

A very cool but clear ride from Sparta down past Madison to familiar roads. We took 90 to US 12 which cuts across lower Wisconsin and upper Illinois. We both know these roads well as they are frequent weekend jaunts to Lake Geneva and the environs. Very nice biking. We are, however, eager to be home. The totals: 4090 Bike Miles; 4647 Total Miles, therein 557 Truck Miles.

As Tolkien wrote in The Hobbit:
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
