Day 18: Monroe to Platteville
You guys! You simply must come ride the Cheese Country Trail! It is a multi-use trail running from the Badger State Trail in Monroe, WI to the Pecatonica State Trail in Calamine (it continues north to Mineral Point, which I will finish tomorrow). And despite being a multi-use trail, the surface is fantastic! Better than […]
Day 17: Glacial Drumlin, Capital City, Badger, and Sugar River State Trails
Today was one of my favorite days so far. It was my favorite kind of fall day, frosty and crisp in the morning, with warm sun and a bright blue sky. I began today’s ride on the Glacial Drumlin State Trail, which took me to the K. Redmond Family Preserve. The Redmond Preserve is located […]
Day 16: Hank Aaron and White River State Trails + Oak Leaf Trail and Seven Waters Trail
I want to start today’s post by returning, first, to yesterday. I want to thank WI Bike Fed and Rails to Trails for putting on such a fantastic, fun event celebrating the Great State Trails Adventure, their work on the Route of the Badger, and our collective efforts to expand bike infrastructure and connectivity in […]

Day 15: Old Plank Road Trail, Sheboygan Interurban Trail, and Ozaukee Interurban Trail
Today I rode no state trails. But bike infrastructure, land conservancy, and even Knowles-Nelson is about so much more than state trails – today shows us why. I began my day in Fond du Lac on the Old Plank Road Trail, which connects to Fond du Lac’s trail network and extends ~40 miles into Sheboygan, […]

Day 14: Wild Goose and Eisenbahn State Trails
Today felt like fall, finally. It was a little cloudy and cool, and it brought out the fall colors even more. While I was riding, I tried to find everything I could that was orange: orange trees, orange cones marking where they’re installing broadband along the trail (another great co-resource use!), orange pumpkins and Halloween […]
Day 13: Wiouwash and Mascoutin Valley State Trails
The southern segment of the Wiouwash State Trail begins in Hortonville and ends in Oshkosh in Winnebago County, completing the trail’s namesake. (The trail is named after the four counties it traverses: Winnebago + Outagamie + Waupaca + Shawano.) The Wiouwash Trail connects into Oshkosh on the Tribal Heritage Crossing Trail, a dedicated walking and […]
Day 12: Green Circle, Tomorrow River, and Newton Blackmore State Trails
I started today with my mom (and support crew) on the Green Circle State Trail, which makes a loop around Stevens Point. It is a collection of multiple trails that has been a community effort to get started and has been such a resource today! The Green Circle is the only state trail that goes […]
