Synopsis

"I’m old enough to remember when a Sunday ride was the family’s afternoon entertainment. . . . Now my Sunday riding is done on a motorcycle. And even though my ride may take place on a Tuesday, it still has a Sunday-ride feel—the leisurely pace, the sun on my head, the wind in my face and the sense of exploration—riding for the love of riding."—Barbara Barber

Eighteen unforgettable routes along riverways and ridges, down rustic roads and coulees, and over 1800 miles of southern Wisconsin’s best rides

About this title

From the Author

“Re-riding the routes for this second edition was like visiting an old friend. I wondered why I had waited so long to do it. I found some major changes, like the bypasses around Lake Geneva and La Crescent. There were nice surprises of new pavement and a few ‘oh, dears’ at crumbling country roads—all part of the adventure of motorcycling. I’ve ridden in a lot of beautiful places, and southern Wisconsin is still one of the best. It draws me back with its winding roads, rural landscape, and friendly people.”—Barbara Barber
