Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin puts on some pretty awesome events. If you are looking for something fun to do next week to get you into the spirit of the spring season, join them for their week long exploration of biking! At Front Room, we have been doing our best (assuming you don’t count our weekly pilgrimage to Pizza Hut for Wing Wednesday and Pineapple Pizza) to get healthy. Biking is a great way to do that! (And to work off the calories consumed on Wing Wednesday.) They will teach you just about everything you need to know about bicycling during the event. Check out their site to learn more about the scheduled events.
