About this road

This quiet county-road loop near Mauston offers moderate climbing and low traffic—a gentle introduction to the local network without the intensity of the more technical routes. Mixed farm and woodland cover rolling-to-hilly terrain that sits in the transitional zone between Driftless and glaciated Wisconsin. As a relaxed half-morning ride it still feels rural and scenic, a reminder that not every rewarding road needs to be extreme. Traffic is minimal; the sense of place is calm and continuous. Ideal as a recovery day, a shakedown for riders new to the region, or a low-key exploration when weather or energy suggests a lighter effort around Mauston. Also a practical way to learn the local road character before committing to the harder Baraboo or Coulee routes. Easy, quiet, and true to the everyday landscape.
