Day 19: Manitowoc, WI- Shawano, WI- 80 Miles, Daniel Gulisano

Today we woke up early and said goodbye to the YMCA that had become our home for the past few days. We left Manitowoc and rode a few miles before hitting trails. After 22 miles, we stopped in Denmark for a gas station breakfast. We then proceeded to ride towards Green Bay, home of the packers. We saw lots of packers hats. We also saw firsthand the potholes of Wisconsin, I was almost sent to the shadow realm. Luckily due to my amazing bike handling skills and quick thinking I saved myself and lived to tell the story.

Green Bay was smaller than we expected-we rode through downtown in about 45 seconds. Ryan Murphy, Mr. Murphy and a friend of Mr. Murphy were meeting us along the way to join us, and they were bringing lunch. In order to get there though, we had to pass multiple huge traffic circles as a group. We all made it to lunch and were treated to cold cuts and bread to make sandwiches. After lunch, it got hot and the miles went by pretty slow. Also, I was bored because I didn’t hear Wyatt and Blake bickering along the way. Tonight we’re staying at a hustling and bustling campsite off a lake. We had dinner across the street at a bar and we plan on checking in to the Hilton early tonight.
