Backroad Bicycling in Wisconsin, 2nd Ed.

28 Scenic Tours through Lakes, Forests, and Glacier-Carved Countryside

Jane and Scott Hall

This cycling guide to Wisconsin has been updated to include a wider variety of rides on back roads and country lanes for touring, hybrid, and mountain bikes.

Wisconsin, a land of lakes, forests, and glacier-carved countryside, is one of cycling's best kept secrets. From the tall pines and clear lakes of the north, through gently rolling central farmlands, to the high bluffs and hidden valleys along the Mississippi River, the state is laced with well-maintained secondary roads and scenic dirt roads. Since 1986, when they founded the Bike Wisconsin touring company, Jane and Scott Hall have led thousands of cyclists on tours around their home state. In this book they have selected 28 of their favorite daylong cycling adventures. The tours cover varied terrain and feature places of historic and cultural interest, as well as areas of natural beauty.

Each tour includes a detailed map; mile-by-mile directions; information on terrain and mileage; trip highlights; and where to find repairs, rentals, and overnight accommodations along the route.

"Thousands of miles of two-wheeled wisdom."
