Taliesin via Bicycle: A mini-tour in Wisconsin


[Becka writing] Tom's profession as an architect was much inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. In 2006, family connections brought us near both Taliesin and Taliesin West, neither of which Tom had had a chance to visit before. In October, a wedding found us in Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A., and we decided to add a bicycle tour to visit Taliesin. From Madison, we took a bus to Spring Green, overnighted in a charming B&B, and took the in-depth tour of Taliesin. Pedaling south on local roads, we found the Military Road multi-use trail. We had planned to camp, but the temperatures approached to freezing and overnight precipitation was forecast. We opted for a motel with hot tub instead, and delightfully found a fresh coast of snow along the trail in the morning!
