Cycling in Madison

I'm taking my bike to Madison tonight and spending the weekend. Would anyone like to tell me about all the great things there are to do there? I've been there w/my bicycle. I'd like to try to make most the weekend (except for the drive there and back) as carless and carefree as possible.

What do you like to do in Madison? (eating & drinking & other cultural-type recommendations would be appreciated.)

Good idea! I am a "fan" of Madison's Bike Winter page on Facebook.

I think their kickoff was on Wednesday and I'm pretty sure that my friend who I'm visiting went to it.

(She's only been in Madison for a few weeks and already looking forward to winter cycling there.)

I just hope it's not rainy. I'm not the biggest fan of rain rides.

The Farmers Market on Saturday morning (around the Capitol Building) is second to none. Don't miss it!

Thanks, Soud'side (Howard?)!

And Darrell--you're so right. I've been to it. It's the best market. Still, I want to ride around a lot so I don't know that we'll be there for very long--just long enough to sample cheese curds and other Wisconsin-y delights. I wish I was cooking on Saturday night, but we've already got dinner plans at someone's house. I suppose there's no reason why I can't stock my own rotter bin. (That's what I call the vegetable crisper--It seems I'm seldom home enough to enjoy the produce I buy.)

Happy Friday!
