TRIP 5: LaCrosse Rt 33

[glwilson]

This route is a bit north of our home-base location of Prairie du Chien; however it is often referred to as the "Mini Deal's Gap of Wisconsin".

I have listed it as only a one-way trip; as a return route can be discussed at the rally before departure for those that wish to take this route.

While it isn't as "twisty" as Deal's Gap, it does provide for a beautiful ride through the West-Central part of Wisconsin on great pavement that twists its way through a variety of terrains and countryside of Wisconsin -- including a brief ride through Wild Cat State Park -- a favorite ride of many other rallies that are based in this area.

Skill Level: Moderate
As mentioned; this ride is on good two-lane pavement with wide sweeping turns; twisty-curves; and a variety of elevation changes.

Time & Distance: One way is 78.4 mi – about 2 hours 6 mins without stops.

While this appears to be an average of only around 38 MPH we will be riding at faster speeds for the most part. The reason for the overall trip-time is due to the time it takes to twist through the variety of road elevations.

Food Stop: There are few places to stop enroute to Reedsville, WI. A lunch-stop will be determined based on which route the group decides it wishes to take back to homebase.
