NOTICE:

I TRAVELED TO CHECK OUT THIS RIDE ROUTE TODAY (JUNE 5TH) AND DISCOVERED QUITE A FEW OF THESE ROADS ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE DUE TO CONSTRUCTION AND GRAVEL OVERLAY ON SOME OF THE ORIGINAL ROUTE ROADS.

THIS RIDE WILL BE MODIFIED

Prairie du Chien to Spring Green to Boscobel and back to PDC.
Distance: Yet to be determined

Time: Around 4 hours

Skill level: moderate to high level. We will be taking all of our routes at comfortable speeds, so no matter your comfort-level -- everyone should be fine on this ride.

Road Type: Sweeping river roads along to Wisconsin River to tight and twisty back-roads along the south-side of the WI River. Return route will involve varying elevation changes of the WI River bluffs (an area where the VROC holds its annual rally out of Boscobel, WI -- great Midwest roads.)

Highlights: While this ride provides great roads to ride, it does not provide a great deal of "highlight-stops". In other words... don't look for "tourist-attractions" on this route. Just consider this route to be a great ride on a variety of road-types.

This ride starts on the back-south-side-roads of the Wisconsin River which winds us through the unpopulated back-roads of the river and farmland. There will be points where the road will rapidly change elevation and also provide tight turns.

Eventually we will arrive at Spring Green where we will stop at the tourist-center for Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin in Spring Green (1/2 way point). (To those who know FLW... this is something to see if you have not – and is the only “attraction” on this ride.)

We will begin our return back on the north-side of the Wisconsin River. This portion of the ride is a comfortable ride with wide, sweeping roads as we wind our way closer to PDC. However we will take a detour up and over the plateau of the river-bluffs just prior to PDC so we can ride back down to PDC via the bluff-valleys. (A nice detour.)

I, personally, like this ride.

Don't forget... when opening the attachment you'll be taken to another Kawanow screen. You may need to allow pop-ups; or allow for the file to open. It is safe to open. PM me if you have trouble.
