Parallels
the Wisconsin River from Madison (Sauk city) to Prairie
du Chien where the Mississippi River and the Wisconsin Rivers
intersect. River on one arm and spacious river valley back
dropped by foothills and bluffs. Visit Villa Louis, an 1800's
villa and mansion on the Mississippi River right in Prairie
du Chien.

Road Quality:

The
Road quality is excellent! Clean, and fresh pavement on
about 50% of the 120 mile stretch. Alternating 5-7 mile
sections of curves right along the river and straight sections
inland a bit through towns. The curvies are pleasant and
clean. Not too technical although there are several sections
that tighten up a bit. The curvy runs can be tackled by
modest riders and bikes at reasonable speeds pretty easily
but step up the pace and you'll find the wide open super
fast sweepers exhilarating...and there are plenty! smooth
roads and little traffic make this a good chilled ride or
great fast curve run. Lots of offshoots along the way...try
one! 131N, 35 N to Lacrosse.

Not
too much along the route. There is plenty of the basics...food,
fuel, etc.. but its pretty rural. Taking the route eastward
you end up in Madison WI. quite a nice destination for an
overnight! Culture, arts, University, Great hotels and dining...with
a warm atmosphere.

The
route is in southwestern Wisconsin and runs E/W along the
Wisconsin River. The west end starts in Prairie
du Chien where the Mississippi River intersects with
the Wisconsin River along the border of Iowa/ WI. The east
end is Sauk City just NNW of Madison. All you need to do
is get to Prairie du Chien and head east on Route 60 the
whole way to Sauk City. From there you could head Southeast
into Madison.
