Join us on a warm-up type first Wisconsin Hills ride of the season, as we make a loop out of River Falls on the quiet, rolling, and often obscure backroads with of course no need for center lines.  Starting at Hoffman Park in River Falls, we head east with the wind to the village of Martell, dip south through a lovely little valley and by my favorite herd of cows, then hook back west to our rest stop in Ellsworth. From there, it's the up and down return to River Falls, via a long descent, a pleasant wooded stretch with a quite steep hill, the long long descent down Happy Valley Road, and even some flatter stretches of rural road. 

As ride leader, still quite out of shape, I plan to ride in the rear, and you are welcome to ride as slow as me, especially on the several reasonably long ascents, as well as the shorter but really steep hills. And you are welcome to blaze ahead with the other, fitter riders, possibly training for more challenging rides later on.

This route has relatively little climbing per mile. But that is relative to your typical Wisconsin Hills ride. In any case, join us and enjoy the ride!

Note that we depart from Hoffman Park River Falls at 1:00 pm. (The ride briefing will start at least 5 minutes prior to this.) (Do be sure to check for an unlikely but possible ride cancellation before coming to the ride.)

This 46 mile route is at  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38997018. I will plan to have as many actual, real maps and cue sheets as registered riders.

[Note: even if you have NO doubt about the weather, be sure to check for Ride Cancellation by the morning of the ride.]
