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 which opens at 6:30. Note they only take cash, no credit cards. I usually enjoy having breakfast there shortly before the ride.
Please note that the 200k and 150k routes split shortly before Fountain City. Do not go with the 200k riders. In order to makie this an official 150k ride for RUSA's Rouleur Award, we added a few miles. You'll still be able to catch up with the 200k riders at the Fountain City control before you take the scenic, and much flatter WI-35 back to the start.
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.
