PF is still a great route, as a matter of fact, there is a small but
growing group of "Roadies" in the area who like hang at the LaRue
Tavern(it's on PF, and has WONDERFUL food & Guinness on tap!). In
Reedsburg, the Super 8 is affordable and has the tubs you want, but
call first I haven't stayed there in awhile. Once you get on the trail.
you stay on it all the way to LaCrosse. I've ridden the trails in question
numerous times, but never in one big ride - planning on doing that
myself, if I can figure out the logistics for days off....
Try to time your ride so you can hit Gina's Pies Are Square in Wilton for some
great chow! Have a great ride. Don't forget to take a flashlight for the
tunnels!
