Does anyone have any ideas for spots for overnight bike trips this
summer? I'm planning on taking a bunch of three day weekends to go bike
out from Madison to the surrounding area, spend a night or two, then
come back. I've got some ideas based on state parks (New Glarus,
Governor Dodge, Blue Mounds, Devil's Lake), but I was curious if anyone
else had a favorite spot.
I'm willing to bike up to about 100 miles in a day, and either camping
or a hotel would work for me. What I'm looking for are pretty routes
with low traffic, or bike paths. I'd even be up for a two legged
triangle route, or someplace I could drive to in a few hours and leave
my car overnight while I did the ride.
I like the Kickapoo Valley. La Farge, Viola, Viroqua. Very picturesque,
exceptionally friendly people. You can camp for free in many county
parks, too. Scott Ellington, who lurks this list, is the local expert on
such matters. See his web at

for detailed trip reports there and elsewhere.
