This group is for anyone who likes to enjoy this beautiful state while camping. I love camping and do it often. The more, the merrier, so I decided to start this group. If any of these things interest you, please join in: hiking, sleeping under the stars, fishing, boating, having a few beers and sharing stories, or just staring at a campfire.

We will go on short bike rides that anyone can participate in, no matter what their bicycle knowledge or skill level is. Madison is a great town to bike in, so let's get out there and enjoy it together!

Some women have lost up to 50 lbs, and we even had one women in her 40's do 70 perfect pushups! Guys are getting leaner and more …
