Ok, here's what we have planned for the friday ride. If anyone local knows of any cool stops or good restaurants/bars along the route, please chime in.
Friday ride – Very interesting ride all Wisconsin, lots of hills and twisties and the northern Dragon. 169 miles, but plan on at least 5 hours with stops. I'm thinking kickstands up at around 10 am. We can do a group breakfast somewhere in Westby around 9, or if people want to go out on their own that's cool too. So leaving from the lodge, Ride north through Cashton, west on 33, 162, etc, until we reach Grandad Bluff. From Grandad Bluff, through Coon Valley, Chaseburg, and Stoddard, on the way to Genoa, where we can stop for lunch. Possible lunch stops;
We will probably need to stop for gas in one of those towns, and we could stop if there is anything cool to stop for along the way. From Genoa, ride east through Viroqua and Lafarge (we can add stops in here if needed) on 82 until it connects with 33, west to Wildcat Mountain state park for another stop. From Wildcat Mtn towards Ontario, south on 131 to County rd P back to Westby.
Here's a link to the google map. (I tried to embed the map here but I don't know how). If anyone can download this onto a gps you will be my hero.
