Hello, Do any of you know of good places to ride in SE Wisconsin? I have been trying to find good routes that are around 50 miles, but I hate riding on narrow city streets or busy county roads. Thanks!
Well, I'm not sure where you are, but around Milwaukee, there's the Oak Leaf Trail - it's about 1/3rd bike paths, 1/3rd parkways, and 1/3rd city streets, but most of the streets aren't that busy. The northern loop is about 30 miles, I'd place the Southern at closer to 40.RedRider2009 said:Hello, Do any of you know of good places to ride in SE Wisconsin?

Where are you? What about the frontage road along the Interstate?RedRider2009 said:Hello, Do any of you know of good places to ride in SE Wisconsin? I have been trying to find good routes that are around 50 miles, but I hate riding on narrow city streets or busy county roads. Thanks!
Red is from Racine...interestingly I found this little bike-trail map of Racine:alfeng said:Where are you? What about the frontage road along the Interstate?
Just joking - I don't go there, well, ever, but it isn't any sort of active effort on my part to stay away, just no need for me to head that way.RedRider2009 said:Is there a reason you avoid Racine?
I feel your pain - whenever I think about riding into downtown Milwaukee for some event that will be bringing me home after dark, I think about how dicey the most direct route from downtown-to-home might be after sundown.RedRider2009 said:Some of the more general bike routes go through some terrible parts of the city that I try to avoid, I am not very fond of gun in my face followed by me watching my bike roll away.
