I don't live there but DH and I did a week long bike trip in that area about 4 years ago. It's a great place to ride but better do some hill training first. I couldn't believe how "mountainous" the area was. I would highly recommend the area. It's even better than the description in the article. Beautiful scenery, wonderful roads, great weather and the local folks made us feel very welcome. I would do it again. I just recommend Wisconsin for riding, period. Love the place!
