About this road

Ithaca and Loganville sit in the quiet agricultural country of Richland and Sauk counties. The loop is gentler than the deepest Coulee Region routes yet still offers the familiar ridge-and-valley rhythm. Nineteenth-century farm settlement and small crossroads communities shaped the human landscape. Proximity to the Baraboo Hills means occasional views of the ancient ridges that stand apart from the surrounding country. The peaceful character and the sense of being on the edge of several distinct landscapes are the quiet rewards. Traffic is light; the demand is moderate. Ideal when a less intense day is wanted between harder efforts, or when the goal is simply to absorb the everyday rural texture around Ithaca and Loganville without chasing maximum elevation. Calm, continuous, and easy to enjoy.

How it rides

36 corners over 46.1 miles — 0.78 a mile, and 116° of turning for every mile ridden. That scores CS-1, Cruiser on the five-point curviness scale. 45% of those corners are sharp ones, and the road reads as mixed.

What it climbs

The road climbs 2,120 feet in total, 46 feet per mile, between 734 and 1,235 feet — 500 feet of relief. The longest single climb is 221 feet over 1.4 miles, and the steepest grade on it is 8.7%. For this country that is steep.

Surface, speed and traffic

Paved end to end. 91% of it is back road rather than highway, the other 9% state or US route. Posted speeds run to 55 mph, typically 55, measured across 2% of the route. State traffic counts cover only 3% of these miles, too little to put a number on, which is itself a fair sign of how quiet they are.
