City insight: Madison
Madison, Wisconsin, is the state capital, set on an isthmus between two lakes, Mendota and Monona, with many paths and a strong outdoor culture. The climate is continental: summers (June to August) are warm and humid, autumn is cool and colourful, winters (December to February) are long and cold with snow, and spring is slow. Late spring to early autumn is the best time to race, and the lakes are good for swimming in summer. Dane County Airport serves the city.
