This is a great ride by our former Route Expert, Jerad Tintera. From Evanston we do a figure 8 crossing in Libertyville. There are some nice. gradual climbs up to Chain O'Lakes State Park then a quick round through southern Wisconsin before returning to Evanston. This has been an opener/closer for a few years and it's one of our most original routes.
Based on an Imperial originally subitted by Ted Durrant, this is a loop up from Milwaukee through the Kettle Moraine area. There are some excellent hills here with the route gradually climbing for the first half, and descending for the second. The Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive is a highlight and spectacluar in any season but particularly in the fall.
Lake Mills, out to Holy Hill, looping north through Hustisford, Juneau, Marshall and back. Ample free parking in the Municipal Parking lot through the alley across Madison St. from the BP.
This is a beautiful route starting from Delavan, Wisconsin that winds north to East Troy, west to Whitewater, north to Jefferson and returns. Featuring the famous Alpine Valley climb in both directions and quiet roads, farmlands, and Kettle Moraine State Forest.
200k out-and-back through rolling farm country to Verona, home of Epic. This rolling route does not have any major climbs and follows the same route as the Baraboo Circusworld Rides. Starts from the Kwik Trip at Delavan West.
This is a ride of rollers from Delavan up to Sun Prairie. Mainly features farmlands so be prepared for wind and some nice vistas.
Part of the Fond Du Lac Series this route takes you south to Juneau then east to the full 27 miles of the Kettle Moraine Scenic Road. Quite hilly, the glacial features make this area of Wisconsin particularly popular for hiking and vacations.
A beautiful early season loop route from Oregon, IL to Mt Carroll with and out-and-back to Hanover, IL in the Driftless Area of Northeastern Illinois. With about 5,300 ft of climbing, this is by far the hilliest 200k that GLR has, though it could have been hillier....oh, and it has about 17 miles of gravel, mostly near Lanark and during the finish. I can't give you cobbles, but I can give you gravel :)
Fun ride from Whitewater to New Glarus and back. Low Key with some hills to challenge. Culvers in New Glarus!
This is the classic 200k from Delavan to Brodhead, Evansville, Oregon and Edgerton. Rolling terrain and no serious climbing.
