Cycling tour hits Door County

Your commute to Door County has nothing on what a group of cyclists have done up to this point. Approximately two dozen cyclists set up shop in the parking lot of Stone Harbor Resort in Sturgeon Bay after a sixth day of ride around the state of Wisconsin that began in Beloit. They will have biked more than 890 miles when it all said and done. Leading the group is Lon Haldeman of Sharon, Wis., who captured the country’s attention on ABC’s Wide World of Sports and earned several cycling records in the 1980s, including the fastest to ever ride a bike from New York City to Los Angeles and back. His business, Pacific Atlantic Cycling Tour, takes cyclists around the world on supported cycling expeditions that are hundreds if not thousands of miles in length. Thanks to a great network of roads, Haldeman says he always enjoys taking cyclists on tours around his home state.

Door County gets two days of attention from the Wisconsin tour as the cyclists arrived in Sturgeon Bay on Friday from Manitowoc before riding the entire peninsula on Saturday. Haldeman says the goal of his tours is to get people to forget their bikes and enjoy everything else around them.
