Our classic driftless route with 1/2 the climbing, at 4,300', 6 hills including one real kicker, and a timeless Wisconsin bar and grill at the finish to replenish yourself. Suggestion for early risers: If you want a nice breakfast before the ride, there is Beths's Twin Bluffs Cafe, (http://www.bethstwinbluffscafe.com/) which opens at 6:30. Note they only take cash, no credit cards.

Nelson is just across the river from Wabasha, about a 2 hour drive from the Cities so if you want to do a layover either before or after the ride, there are hotels in Wabasha, or Alma.
