Day 32

Madison to Milwaukee

Sunday, September 13, 2026

Another great day stretches out ahead of you, as you exit Madison via a popular bike path and ease back into small towns and rolling farmland. Enjoy roaming alongside the scattered lakes and quiet suburbs as you near Milwaukee. The city is famous for breweries including Pabst, Schlitz, Blatz, and Miller to name but a few, started by an influx of German immigrants in the mid 19th century. You might also remember the sitcoms Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, and of course this is the birthplace of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. You'll get a taste of its history as you ride past the home of the Milwaukee Brewers and the Harley-Davidson museum before arriving at the Iron Horse Hotel. Try your hand at a game of pool or have a drink in The Yard as you savor your short time at this striking warehouse turned hotel. We will enjoy dinner here as well.
