Trempealeau County

Heading to Trempealeau County today for some riding. This is one of the loops I plan to ride: http://www.travelwisconsin.com/item_detail/Peaceful_Kingdom_Tour.aspx
There are 13 loops marked out in a book available here: http://www.trempealeaucountytourism.com/BIKING/Bike%20Loops.htm
The local bike club puts on a few rides: http://www.ridebctc.com/
Supposed to be great riding! I'll post my rides when I get back

WOW! The scenery was great, the ride was great. Due to the heat I only did one loop. And I only missed one turn. I headed out on J and finished with a downhill back to town that is Tour worthy. I hit 45 on a touring bike and I was grabbing brakes! A fifty + on a road bike. The Memorial park in Arcadia is something to see, featuring a tank and a fighter jet, several cannons, and a monument of most every major military figure from our history. I only did the one loop because quite frankly it was hard and I was fried from the heat and humidity. I will be going back when the weather is a little cooler.

I was up that way riding a couple of weeks ago.
It really is spectacular.

It's really cool that they put all the maps online.
They'll also mail you a packet with all the maps for free for the asking.

Hey Dan, very cool ride. I'm going there next week with wife and kids, so will be looking at some of the easier routes (and a much slower pace than I would prefer:(, but hey, at least I'll be riding:)). Maybe I'll just consider it a recovery ride. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it.
