Wausau, WI

What started with a dead battery in the quiet woods near Bayfield quickly turned into a full, satisfying day. After a quick jump-start, I found a great coffee shop, explored two standout galleries, wandered downtown Wausau, and ended the day with a cold beer and live bluegrass at a lively local taproom.

Traverse City: A Trail Day

I spent the whole day exploring Traverse City on two wheels—cruising scenic bike paths, wandering lakefront neighborhoods, sampling good coffee, helping a kid fix his bike chain, and soaking up the vibe of the Cherry Festival (with surprisingly few cherries). Sometimes the simplest days on the trail turn out to be the best.
