About Wisconsin Bicycle Tours, Trails And Routes

by Freida McCall

Wisconsin bicycle tours are widely acknowledged as being the nation's best, even by the exacting standards set by the League of American Bicyclists. Riders of all stripes will find something to their liking. The choices vary from a serene lakeshore ride along the Door County Peninsula to a challenging and thrilling outdoor adventure among the lakes and forests of the Northwoods. There are many such tours and trails, so take a look at what looks doable and interesting before picking one.

The intrepid Badger State bicyclist can start by choosing from among three main categories or regions. Literally at the state's top is the five-county area called the Northwoods, an outdoor enthusiast's dream come true with lakes, forests and quaint small towns dotting the landscape. Trails in this region are breathtakingly scenic, with any number of places to relax, do some boating and fishing, and even camp out if necessary.

Bicycling groups can also barrel through the central part of the state following the Wisconsin River. This is an easy-paced and long route, ideal for everyone from tourists to pro-cyclists. The best and most scenic part can be found in rural areas between Wisconsin Rapids and Baraboo.

Lots of tourists and bicycling groups prefer a ride along the shores of Lake Michigan. It could start from as far away as Sheboygan, hugging the shore all the way to Sturgeon Bay. The best part of the route comes before and after Sturgeon Bay, where bicyclists can explore both coasts of the Door County Peninsula on their way to Green Bay.

These are all good choices, but require a week or so to complete. Of course, it's not an endurance test because each tour sets its own pace based on the physical abilities of the participants. There's no rush, and the primary aim is to enjoy the bicycling and the pleasures of the journey just as much as the destinations along the way.

There are quite a few other choices too. The state has more than 80 trails that are a part of the rails-to-trails system operated by the state, where the trials follow abandoned railway lines. One of the most famous trails in this system is the 32-mile Elroy-Sparta Trail (an hour from Baraboo) offering spectacular rural vistas and three tunnels.

A Frank Lloyd Wright bicycle tour in and around Spring Green (including his hometown of Taliesin) comes highly recommended for architecture buffs. Civil War historians may likewise enjoy the experience of following the Milton House slave escape route. This route follows a secret tunnel between the legendary stagecoach inn and a log cabin slaves used as a hideaway while attempting to escape to Canada.

Luxury <A href="http://pedalacrosswisconsin.com">Wisconsin bicycle tours</A> can be booked to include a stay in a nice resort while heading out for daily forays to explore nearby trails. The tour company provides the bikes and picks up guests in groups at the hotel, takes them out for a full-day bicycling expedition, and deposits them back at the hotel in the evening. It's a great way to spend time in the outdoors in Wisconsin without losing touch with civilization and the comforts of home.
