Great
scenery along the Fox River!!! Ride along side of the river
and pass through quaint Wrightstown. Wisconsin at it's best!
You'll see many of our hard working bovine sisters munching
on grass along the way.

Road
quality is consistent. Watch out in spring, there is many
corners where someone in there cage cut it too sharp and
kicked out a bunch of gravel on this river hugging route.
A few miles north of Wrightstown there is a bad spot where
the river has eroded much of the supporting soil under the
road and the pavement has buckled a bit. Overall not bad
though. Just watch for gravel in corners that has been thrown
out by cars. I recommend that you take caution your first
trip up the "double-Z" (county road ZZ) to scope
out potential hazards.

There
are a few nice parks that you can stop at along the way.
Stop and get a burger in Wrightstown. There is a great tavern
on the northeast corner of ZZ and 96. I can't remember the
name of it, but I think it may be called Keeter's Pub. You
can't miss it. There usually is a bunch of bikes parked
in front of it. If you're a morning traveler there is a
great place at the end of the road in South De Pere called
the Chef's Hat. They've got great coffee and fresh baked
goods. If traveling north into Green bay it will be on your
left hand side on City PP in De Pere.

You
can either start this route in Kaukauna
(which is just a few miles north of Appleton) and head north
to De
Pere (which is on the south side of Green Bay) or you
can do the opposite and start in De Pere and head south
to Kaukauna. My directions are described for the drive to
start in Kaukauna and end in De Pere. In Kaukauna, get on
county road Z and take it through town to the baseball diamonds
and swimming pool and at this point you switch to county
road ZZ (county road ZZ will split off to the left from
county road Z). Follow ZZ the whole way through Wrightstown
until you reach county road PP. Take a left onto PP north
and this will bring you into south De Pere.
