Fox Valley all the way to Crandon via Shawano.  Highways 187 to 55.
Clean decent roads and sweeping curves.

There are a lot of good narrow twisty roads in WI.

I have spent some time between mineral point, madison, and prairie du chein:

As I said in the WI check in thread, SE wisconsin is pretty much a wasteland of straight flat roads.  SW and N WI offer the most fun, but if anyone is looking for something near Road America, good luck.  The land was plowed nice and flat by glaciers, so there really wasn't much challenge for the road planners.  The Kettle Moraine area has some nice scenery and some nice roads, but nothing like the mountain/canyon roads found elsewhere.

I don't think there was enough vibration in that post to indicate a HD.

took a few rides on northern WI farm roads this spring and have been mostly pleased with road conditions.  Took 76 to Shawano yesterday and a tractor had left melon sized chunks of mud in its tracks crossing the road.  Thankfully an oncoming truck gave us the "whoa boys" flash of the lights and we slowed way down before crossing the next hill.  We even saw the Amish folk in their buggies and had to gear up and slow down so the exhaust didn't scare the horses.

I dont know where to start....

Hwy P in Vernon County is a great road, and goes for miles...pretty clean right now.

Wildcat Mountain on Hwy 33 was in good shape yesterday, but beware of the 5-0's on weekends.

Hwy 108 (Mindoro cut) and C are excellent roads if you have not been on them, and are popular among most cyclist.

All the lettered roads connecting these more popular locations are also great rides, and often overlooked.  Also, look for the little township roads, as they provide excellent technical riding on a very narrow slab of pavement.  For the most part, the whole area from madison, to Prairie Du Chien, to north of lacrosse, and back to madison is full of amazing twisties.


More to come as the summer riding continues.   waytogo waytogo
