All the downtown roads are brick and quite wide. The highway completely bypasses the town so there is very little traffic.

Forty years from now these two kids will look back on the time when they lived in Madison and had a swing on the big tree just outside their house.

Discovered KS-58 between Madison and Colony last year while heading home from the Kansas campout.

KS-99 is pretty nice, too, but 58 was a nice surprise.
 
Great pics and ride report! You had me fooled though. I started reading your story expecting a road trip from Madison to Toronto, Ontario. I forgot there are a number of other smaller Torontos throughout North America. (As well as other smaller Madisons besides the one in Wisconsin) :D
