I enjoyed the Waterford events earlier this summer. It was great to ride the hills and quiet roads of this area. Can anyone suggest a 75 mile route in the East Troy area that would include a number of longer hills?

I was sent this route by a BF member: http://www.backyardbikes.com/Images/Grand-Tour-60-miler.pdf

Any other suggestions?

Michael:

The Cream City Club is holding their century at the end of this month (Aug 30) which features a 75 mile route which will go through East Troy. If nothing else, you could contact the club to see if they have cue sheets you could take a look at.

There really aren't any "longer hills" in the area, but there is a steepish climb in the Alpine Valley (Bowers Rd) and also if you take Bluff Road in the Kettle Moraine it has a long gradual climb to it (if you are going the "right" way).

I agree it is a great place to ride.
