With the thermometer hovering at 22, and the wind ripping off a frozen Lake Mendota, Rink DaVee and his brother Jim decided to take a stroll.
And why not? After all, according to a recent top 10 list, there’s no better place in the country for walking than the capital city of a state known more for cheese and beer than exercising.
“It makes you feel better,” DaVee said during a break in his walk Wednesday, standing on the icy, snow-covered trail that extends out over the lake. “It gets you through a cold month of March.”
