Life on the Road: Some Bike Riding

We have ventured out to see what is around us here in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. In my last posting I mentioned we are across from Lake Michigan and next to the lake is a very nice bike trail that connects the towns of Manitowoc and Two Rivers. The trail is called the mariners trail and it is very nicely maintained. In Two Rivers the trail connects up to another trail called the Rawley Point trail which takes you into the state forest. Here is a map of the trail.

I believe the total length of the Mariners Trail is 6.5 miles. I am not sure the length of the Rawley Point trail. On Thursday we rode from our RV park into Two Rivers (about 2 miles) then rode around town and connected up with the Rawley Point trail which we rode for about two miles. We did not finish the Rawley Point trail as we were not sure how much further we had to the end and we still had to ride back to the RV park.

It was a beautiful ride and the weather was just perfect. On our way back we stopped for lunch at a restaurant in the Lakeview Inn. The dining room is near the lake and offers great views and great food. Here was our view from our table.

On Friday we rode the other way on the trail, into Manitowoc. We rode around the town and then ended up at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. A nice place to visit.

Their coolest exhibit is a World War II U.S. submarine, the USS Cobia. You get a very nice tour of the inside of the submarine from the back to the front and it gives you an appreciation for our servicemen serving in such cramped conditions.
