Week 23 - 54.19

Almost a record week this week - and no half marathon.  This week takes me to Richland Center, Wisconsin.  Thanks to a Dike project that helps protect the city from flooding, there is a significant recreation trail.  From the Richland Center website, "The recreational / bike trail follows the old railroad bed along the Pine River from Gotham to Richland Center and terminates at the North end of the City at Krouskop Park by progress on the river dike.  Through the winter months, parts of the trail are used by snowmobiles.  It gives access to the restored Railroad Depot at the corner of Seminary Street and Orange Street (US Hwy 14).  It also allows passage through an arboretum and the future restored Savannah prairies at the site of the old mill dam.  The dam, removed to allow a free flowing river, now is the site of riffles where anglers fish and canoeists can continue their down river journey."
