Sturgeon Bay, WI. Door County is the peninsula to the northeast of Green Bay. It's a beautiful part of Wisconsin, rolling farmland, small coastal villages, and quiet roads. It sometimes bills itself as the "Cape Cod of the Midwest", but this is like Cape Cod of the 1950s -- before the tourism and development. The Door Country Century is an annual event with a long history. It moves north from Sturgeon Bay along the coast, visits several beautiful parks, beaches, and coastal overlooks. The century finishes with a 30-mile flat ride along the east coast.
It was a perfect day: temperatures in the mid-60s and winds from the north. Thus, for the latter half of the ride, we had the wind at our backs! The rest stops were superbly organized, and even near the end of the day everything was available. Each stop had its special feature: strawberry shortcake, cheery pie, or cheese curds. (It
is Wisconsin, after all.)
So, the Burma Shave signs said:
We love bikers!
We cheer for riders!
And the Packers!
