Like a giant thumb on a mitten jutting into the waters of Lake Michigan, Door County is Wisconsin’s unparalleled Great Lakes fantasy-land. With more miles of shoreline, more lighthouses and more state parks than any other county in the nation, Door County rivals Cape Cod, minus the smell of salt. Scenic similarities do exist, but the peninsula has a distinct personality of its own. In the course of this 8-day bike tour, we’ll cycle much of the peninsula’s 250 miles of coastline, often along the quiet county roads for which this region is noted as a favorite bicycling destination. We’ll visit Washington Island off the peninsula’s northern tip, and the many charming villages
