Default Planning descent ride for next week

Next weekend I might be riding in the La Crosse Wisconsin area. Does anyone have a must ride road in the area that I can route into my gps?

Next time I'll say "groovy"

I thought you would be the 1st to respond.

IV already googled the H out of the region before I sent this out and found those sites.

Originally I was just going to PM you since you’re a couple hours away and figured you might have visited the area.

What’s your favorites?

Honestly I never get down there. I've talked to quite a few Winsconsinites on other forums and the say in SW Wisconsin you can't hardly take a bad road.

This one's probably better: Wisconsin Motorcycling

Like Clint said, it's hard to find a bad one. If you want to cross over into Minnesota and go about 40 miles north on 61, you will come to 60 west bound to Zumboro Falls. about 20 miles of nice twistes with 2 long straights. Keep the speed down on the straights, the cops watch from above.
If you are going through Madison, stop and smell the Roses, you will be going right past some real nice roads.
