Bitter cold weather may be sweeping through many parts of the country, but some three enthusiasists and dedicated bicyclists are beginning to think about warmer climates: they are planning to ride in the 2014 STIHL Tour des Trees, a week-long cycling ride that typically travels through different regions of North America for hundreds of miles.
This year riders will cycle 585 miles through Wisconsin from July 27-August 2, stopping in Madison, Door County, Green Bay and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, noted for its aboriculture and urban forestry curriculum.
