Mystery road getaway to Paradise - no pre-planned route; just adlibbing it as we roll along on the open roads using a dynamic compass heading towards a planned late lunch stop destination on the map. This mystery ride will navigate randomly on several stretches of favorite Wisconsin back roads, riding wherever my front wheel rolls, whereas I take no credit for condition of said roads, construction detours, or gravel roads between stretches.
NOTE: gravel roads/stretches will only be driven if the other end can be seen, or I'm familiar with that stretch, and you may get some practice making U-turns.

“Where the 2-lane blacktop open road isn't just a highway - it's an attitude that has no boundaries that lets you forget what you do for a living when your knees are in the breeze.”
