I live, train and race in Madison but it's too cold to be considered a great tri city. I literally wasn't acclimated to the heat until three weeks ago. Because it was cold up until then.I just happened to check out your website and recognized the bike picture - I saw it used on Channel3000. :)
I live in Madison and it's pretty good place for triathlon for a city that has all 4 seasons. Biking is excellent here, lots of trails, country roads, short punchy hills and scenic lake rides. Obviously with the Madison Ironman, it draws a good pool of triathletes. On any given weekend, riding on any of the ironman roads, you'll see tons of cyclists and most are very friendly. From what I understand, there's a lot of good mountain biking and winter fat bike races not far from the city limits. Madison often ranks in the top 10-15 cities for cycling as well. I hear XC skiing is also top notch here as well.
