My wife has relatives up fairly close to Rice Lake so when we are near there we always stop in at Norske Nook | Delicious Norwegian Cooking and Award-Winning Pies for some pie and lunch or dinner, and sometimes more pie. Did I say that they have good pies?

You might look at some of the routing used by a few of the Wisconsin bike tours like the Bike Ride Across Wisconsin. They might pick up some roads and avoid others for reasons that I don't know about.
