Joe Frickin' Friday Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Hey folks – The complete Garmin *.gpx routes file for the July 2024 DART can be found here: 2024_BMWST_DART_ALL.gpx That file is about 11 MB. For anyone using Google Maps (with its 5 MB file limit), here are separate files for the routes to each lunch destination, each of which is less than 5 MB: 2024_BMWST_DART_Dualsport.gpx 2024_BMWST_DART_Dubuque.gpx 2024_BMWST_DART_Platteville.gpx 2024_BMWST_DART_Richland Center.gpx 2024_BMWST_DART_Viroqua.gpx If you’re using these smaller files, then each day you will need to choose your lunch destination town for that day and load the corresponding file. These routes have been assembled in BaseCamp using the City Navigator North America NT 2025.1 (V28.10) map set. Whether you're using the same map set or not, I strongly recommend duplicating all of the route files, recalculating the originals, then then comparing each original to its duplicate to look for and repair discrepancies in routing/distance. If you’ve never done this before, here’s how: After downloading the file and importing it into Basecamp, select all of the routes by clicking on the first route in the list, and then shift-clicking on the last route. Right-click somewhere in the selected area, and in the pop-up menu, click on “Duplicate” (BaseCamp will ask if you want to duplicate the waypoints; say no). Select all of the originals (Control-click them one at a time), right-click on one of them, and click on “Recalculate Selected Route(s).” Right-click on the first recalculated route, and click on “Open” to bring up the route properties window. In the route list, click back and forth between the recalculated original route and the unchanged duplicate. If the distances are different, you’ll want to visually inspect the map as you click back and forth between the two versions to see where they differ, and insert additional way/shaping points to make the recalculated original route match its unchanged duplicate. When the original matches its duplicate, delete the duplicate. Repeat steps 5-6 for each of the routes. A few general notes about how to use the day ride routes: The routes take you from Prairie du Chien to one of four different lunch destination towns. In the morning, pick a destination town – Viroqua, Richland Center, Platteville, or Dubuque – and then browse through the corresponding batch of routes to decide how far you want to ride before lunch (the distance is in the route name). When you get to your destination town, choose a lunch stop, and bon appétit. After lunch, find the batch of routes that will take you from where you are back to event headquarters (“Borah Borah - HQ”), decide how far you want to ride for the afternoon, and choose accordingly. Depending on your choices, total route distances for each day range from 185 miles to 289 miles. Note that if you choose the same letter (A, B, C...) for the morning and afternoon routes, you'll be riding the same route in reverse. If you skip the routes and just let your GPS take you directly to/from lunch-town, you’ll get something shorter, but it’s likely to be on main roads with more traffic and less curves. The GPS files include several restaurant waypoints in each town, although I’ve only actually eaten at one or two of each. Scroll down a bit in this post for links to restaurant websites and Google-hosted pictures of the food and venue at each place. I’ve personally ridden many of these roads, but not all of them: I “tele-scouted” some roads from home in recent years using Google satellite view and street view. To the best of my knowledge, there is very little total distance of gravel/dirt roads, but I can’t promise absolutely none, so please exercise due caution. The two GS routes are an exception to the above claim. Mike obtained these from the folks at Driftless Road Adventures (more info here, where Mike first posted about them). I haven’t ridden these routes at all, but I assume they contain plenty of gravel roads and paths that would be less-than-optimal for folks on RTs or other street-oriented bikes. In BaseCamp, you’ll see a long list of waypoints marked with an alien head, like this one: . These were harvested from Roadside America, a website dedicated to keeping track of oddball roadside attractions throughout the US. I only punched in a few that are outside the Driftless, but I’ve included all of the ones inside the Driftless. Sadly only a few were actually suitably positioned to be incorporated into the routes I created, but if you're a curious sort of rider, you might want to incorporate them into your own routes, or into your commutes between DART and your home. In Basecamp, you can double-click on each waypoint to bring up the properties window, then click on the “Notes” tab to read some info about what it is (there’s also a link in the Notes section to take you to the relevant page at Roadside America). If you find any that look interesting, feel free to add them to whatever route you like, including your commutes to/from the whole event. A separate set of waypoints marks the locations of official WI-DOT wayside rest areas throughout Wisconsin. These are primitive sites with picnic tables and outhouses, but they sometimes make for convenient bathroom stops. Only a few actually lie on the routes I made, but I've included all of them just for completeness. High-octane gasoline can’t be found at all gas stations in the Driftless. I’ve included waypoints for a few that I’ve verified, mostly in the lunch/destination towns; there are certainly others, especially in the bigger towns and close to main highways, but no guarantees. There is a “Rally” waypoint at Krachey’s BP in Prairie du Chien. Mike suggested this as a convenient place for people to rendezvous in the mornings, although there are no specific plans I'm aware of right now. Huckleberry’s restaurant is right there for breakfast if you want more substantial fare than what will be available at event headquarters (“Borah Borah - HQ”). About the Dubuque day ride routes: The “B” route presents the opportunity for a shortcut. If you’ve overslept in the morning, then when you pull up the B route to Dubuque on your GPS, choose “PDC shortcut” as your starting waypoint; you’ll only have 60 miles to ride to Dubuque instead of 120. Similar issue if returning from Dubuque via the “B” route in the afternoon: if you want to knock off early, then when you arrive at the ”PDC shortcut” waypoint, turn left, cross the mighty Mississippi, and you’ll be back in PDC with just 60 miles covered instead of 120. The “C” route makes use of the Cassville ferry. The landing on the Wisconsin side is right in downtown Cassville, but the landing on the Iowa side requires you to traverse 2 miles of unpaved road to get to/from the Great River Road. The fare for a motorcycle is $10, cash only. It runs on demand, so if it’s not moored on your side of the river or headed your way, push the button and try to look friendly or pretty, depending on which is your best attribute. The morning routes all end in east Dubuque, with a number of lunch options available in that area (see list below). However, Breitbach’s Country Dining is about twenty miles north of Dubuque, away from where all the morning routes end. If you want to eat there and you’re riding the “B” or “C” route in the morning, just stop when you get to Breitbach’s (these routes include a waypoint for the restaurant). If you’re riding the “A” route in the morning, then when you get to Dubuque, start one of the afternoon “B” or “C” routes and ride it until you get to Breitbach’s, then continue along your chosen route afterwards. Getting to/from DART: The address for Mike's ridgetop cabin (where people tend to congregate at the beginning and end of the riding day) is 13040 Borah Ridge Road, Prairie du Chien, WI, 53821. The waypoint for the event is "Borah Borah - HQ". There are waypoints on both shores of Lake Michigan for the SS Badger ferry and the Lake Express ferry. If you’re coming from Michigan or eastern Canada and don't mind the fare, either of these handily beats riding through Chicago. The Badger is more northerly, slower (~4 hrs), bigger, older, and cheaper; the Lake Express is more southerly, faster (~2.5 hours), newer, and expensive. The Badger requires you to bring your own tie-downs (you can buy them at a Walmart on the east side of town), whereas the Lake Express supplies tie-downs for you. Both require you to tie your own bike down, and you won't be allowed to visit your bike during the crossing. If you’re prone to motion sickness, remember to bring your preferred remedy; both vessels can operate in some really windy conditions, and it can get rough. If you absolutely insist on riding through Chicago, to get to Wisconsin, I-294 around downtown is way better than I-90 through downtown. I-294 is a toll road, so they’ll read your license plate and charge you accordingly; alternatively, you can save 50% on tolls by getting an I-PASS (E-ZPass also works if you already have that). Dining options: As mentioned earlier, I’ve included waypoints for a few restaurants in each town. Here are some links so you can check out the venues and menus in advance. Prairie du Chien Huckleberry's – Open for breakfast at 7. I've eaten here and can vouch for the egg special with kielbasa. (pics of the food and venue) Hungry House – nothing pretentious here, just basic comfort food. But if you’re up early, so are they: you can get breakfast at 6 AM. (pics of the food and venue) Pete's Hamburger Stand - This place has been slinging burgers for over 100 years now, and I don’t think much has changed in all that time. The menu is pretty simple – either you want a burger, or you don’t (OK, drinks and chips are available too) – and the only seating is your car, motorcycle or city benches on the sidewalk. But if you like simple, classic meat-on-a-bun from a place with some history, Pete’s may be the place for you (pics of the food and venue) Jone's Black Angus – Great food, but it’s a bit more upscale than the kinds of places we tend to frequent, so tuck in your shirt and straighten your hair before you go in. (pics of the food and venue) Dubuque Adobos Mexican Grill – Mexican-owned and operated, so expect some good stuff. (pics of the food and venue) Copper Kettle – Not a huge menu, but highly rated. I ate here last year, and it was mighty fine. (pics of the food and venue) Foodie Garage – The menu features almost five dozen different burgers, along with several wraps and sandwiches. If you can’t find a burger you like on their menu, then you probably just don’t like burgers. (pics of the food and venue) Pete's Thai – Not the cheapest option, but then you didn’t buy the cheapest bike either. Highly rated, so just open your wallet and enjoy. (pics of the food and venue) The Barrel House – Gourmet burgers, sandwiches, wraps, and tacos – the menu pics alone are enough to make your mouth water. (pics of the food and venue) Breitbach's Country Dining – Opened in 1852, owned by the same family since 1862. Lunch is served from 11AM - 2:30PM, so plan accordingly. There’s a scenic overlook a mile north of town, and another one within walking distance of the restaurant; either one affords grand views of the countryside all the way across the Big Muddy into Wisconsin. (pics of the food and venue) Platteville A&W – Dying for a classic root beer and burger combo? Head on over. (pics of the food and venue) Culver's – A high-quality fast food restaurant that got its start in Wisconsin 38 years ago and has since spread to numerous locations throughout the central and southern US. (pics of the food and venue) Los Amigos Mexican – Authentic and tasty, confirmed by yours truly. (pics of the food and venue) Steve's Pizza Palace – a local place serving gourmet pizzas and other items. (pics of the food and venue) Richland Center Culver's – This is about 3 miles SE of town, but Culver’s puts out reliably high quality food. (pics of the food and venue) RC Tacos – I ate here on a DART '22 day ride, and again in '23. I can confirm that the food is authentic and tasty. If I ride to Richland center again this year, there's a fair chance that I'll go back here. (pics of the food and venue) Mellem's Fish House – From outer appearances it’s a hole-in-the-wall establishment, but it seems to be highly rated. If you’re looking for deep-fried piscine goodness in the middle of the Driftless, this might be a worthwhile stop. (pics of the food and venue) Richland Family Restaurant – I ate here on a personal Driftless tour in 2019. It's the local greasy spoon, with a wide assortment of classic comfort foods. (pics of the food and venue) The Dairy O at Tijuana Crossing – A burger and ice cream stand. Outdoor picnic tables for seating, so if you want to eat here, either hope for fair weather or wear your rain gear. (pics of the food and venue) Viroqua Culver's – north end of town; expect the usual Culver-ish goodness. (pics of the food and venue) Pacifico Mexican Grill – (pics of the food and venue) Driftless Cafe – Definitely fancier than average for small-town Wisconsin. The menu varies from day to day. I've eaten here several times and will probably stop by again this year on the way to the event. (pics of the food and venue) Nelson Tru-Value Agricenter (brats?) - If you’re looking for a real Wisconsin lunch, high school kids and other groups sometimes cook brats on a grill outside Nelson’s Tru-Value Agri-Center to raise money for various causes. If they’re out front when you stop by, expect all the usual brat toppings, along with chips and soda on the side. You’ll have to use your bike as a table, but it’s good eatin’. That’s about all I’ve got. Watch out for cowshit and gravel on the roads, and beware of flesh-rending agricultural equipment on blind rises and turns. Ride safe, ride well, be excellent to each other, and above all, have fun. Here’s the route file links again.

Joe Frickin' Friday Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 To help give first-timers a sense of place, here are a few map screenshots showing what's what. Generally speaking, the Driftless area (where the best roads and scenery are) is the part of Wisconsin that's south/west of I-94, along with adjacent bits of Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois (the dotted line in this map): For DART, the day rides are mostly in the black box on this map: The dots, marked on all the maps in this post: Yellow: event HQ ("Borah Borah") Red: Viroqua Green: Richland Center Blue: Platteville Purple: Dubuque The two dualsport day rides: The rides going out to Dubuque and back (3 routes outbound, 3 returning): Platteville (7 routes out, 7 back): Richland Center (8 routes out, 8 back): And last but not least, Viroqua (8 out, 8 back): 1 Link to comment
Mike Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Once again, kudos and thanks to Mitch for putting these routes all together. As you can see from the maps he’s posted the roads here are really interesting. We’re still a few weeks out, but I’ll keep an eye on local conditions to let everyone know if there are any road concerns. For those who may be visiting the area before the actual event, we’ve had an exceptionally wet stretch of weather and the Cassville ferry has currently suspended operations due to high water levels on the Mississippi. I’ve heard of a couple of intermittent closures on Hwy 35 south of La Crosse due to landslides, but most roads are open. 1 Link to comment
Joe Frickin' Friday Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 Astute viewers may have noticed seemingly random thin red squiggles on the map screenshots I've posted. Those are roads I've positively identified as being unpaved - either through Google Maps street/satellite views, or through personal encounters over the years. It's handy information for plotting new routes, whether you like or dislike unpaved roads. Those traces are listed as tracks in the GPX files I've posted. They are of course not an exhaustive list; I've explored a lot of roads in the Driftless, but not all of them (yet). 1 Link to comment
Mike Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I’ll likely point my GSA towards Viroqua on Friday. I always enjoy a visit to the Driftless Cafe, owned by a James Beard-nominated chef. It’s very informal, but they serve great food. Other food favorites: -Coffee on the River in Lansing, IA is a worthwhile place for a light breakfast and good cuppa. It’s an old repurposed feed mill that’s very cool. In some ways the views along the Mississippi on the Iowa side are nicer. In any event, they’re different. -In La Crosse, lots of options. The Hungry Peddler is good, with a traditional menu. The Waterfront has a nice outdoor patio overlooking the Mississippi. The Charmant is an old candy factory reimagined as an upscale hotel and a very good restaurant. -Ma’s Bakery in Bloomington offers a really excellent breakfast. Sometimes they get you right in and out, but other times it takes a while. Super informal; you may end up sitting with someone else, particularly at the large community table in the middle. -Wherever you are when your stomach starts rumbling, keep in mind that most Wisconsin bars generally offer the basics: good burgers, fries, and maybe a few other sandwiches. For those who, like me, won’t imbibe while riding, soft drinks and non-alcoholic beer are always an option. Many operate on a cash-only basis, so make sure to bring a few bucks (or use the ATM terminal in the bar). Tip generously. Many servers up this way work two or three jobs to make ends meet. As a reminder, we will provide a free meal at Borah Borah (HQ) on Saturday evening. Please sign up as an attendee for DART so I can give a halfway accurate head count. Last year a bunch of us got together at Jones Black Angus in Prairie du Chien on Friday evening. Let me know if you’d like to do that again and I’ll make a reservation. *** On the subject of fuel: if you run out of gas it’s your fault. Most towns of any size have a gas station or two. Quick Trip is a Wisconsin-centric chain that offers pretty nice convenience store options. Almost everyplace maxes out at 91-octane, which is ethanol-free. *** A brief cautionary note or two: We’ve had a wet early summer and river levels are high. They will almost certainly subside in the weeks ahead, but be especially careful of water crossings. Borah Ridge Road, which leads to our place, has just been chip sealed, so the surface is somewhat loose; keep your speeds reasonable but remember that momentum is your friend on loose surfaces. Drop into first gear as you start up the hill so you don’t stall out in the switchbacks. The last 1,000 feet or so to our place is gravel. Link to comment

Hmmm....It hadn't occurred to me to add routes for LaCrosse. It's hard to utilize the best obscure county roads while still keeping the riding distance manageable, but a run up WI27 and WI33 would provide a few twists and turns while keeping the one-way distance under 100 miles. Folks looking for a shorter and more sedate run can of course take WI35 right along the river bank Or whatever the counterpart is in Minnesota). 5 hours ago, Mike said: In some ways the views along the Mississippi on the Iowa side are nicer. In any event, they’re different. At last year's DART, Alan and I had a nice run up the Iowa side of the river from Dubuque to Cassville. Lots of nice views as you note, and more than enough curves to keep a sporting rider busy. 5 hours ago, Mike said: Quick Trip is a Wisconsin-centric chain that offers pretty nice convenience store options.

Folks looking for a shorter and more sedate run can of course take WI35 right along the river bank Or whatever the counterpart is in Minnesota). It’s not a technical ride at all if you route directly there. When I’m in the mood I’ll just start on WI 35, then jog in and out as the mood strikes me. Some of the county roads that intersect with WI 35 and head east are great motorcycle roads. On the Iowa side you can follow US 18 across the River in Prairie du Chien, then take IA 76 north until you hook up with County Road X52, which then takes you along the river, ultimately connecting with IA 26, up to La Crescent, where you can cross the River into La Crosse. It’s a nice ride with mostly gentle curves and some great bluff views. Lots of Bald Eagle nests on that side of the River, as well as a couple of wildlife overlooks. This route also takes you past Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa. If one is in the mood for a moderately challenging hike it’s a fascinating site. I’d suggest slipping out of your moto boots and into something more comfortable for walking. As you ride north and are approaching Lansing, IA there’s a really cool museum operated by Allamakee County called the Driftless Center, which features exhibits on the natural history, human inhabitants, and wildlife of the region. It is a shockingly nice no-cost museum. Again, these are not peg-scrapers. Nice curvy roads, but best suited to the type of riding we geezers sometimes favor. Link to comment
steveknapp Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I'd add to the list: Lanesboro, MN. MN16 into town from Houston, MN is a fantastic ride. The town has some nice lunch spots. Similar ride north as La Crosse. For those looking to ride some gravel; Lanesboro, MN, Waukon, IA, and Elkader, IA all host gravel bicycle rides with some amazing elevation and scenery, for example this old mill. The routes, 30-150mi total, are easily found with your favorite search engine. IA-3 west of Dubuque to Luxemburg, IA is nice. If you're heading north and have already ridden along the river, IA-3 to IA-13 is a nice alternative. From near Lanesboro in the fall: Link to comment

Joe Frickin' Friday Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Heads-up, there are some road closures in Milwaukee this week due to the Republican National Convention taking place there. If you're coming to Milwaukee on the Lake Express ferry and then just zipping west, you'll probably be OK. But if you have any other plans in/around Milwaukee, you may want to check the closure list before you head out: https://spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/news/2024/07/10/milwaukee-road-closures-rnc The closures should all be lifted by midnight Thursday night.

Krautking Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Mitch & Mike Thank you for a great 24 DART. The U-turn class in the driveway, the tire changing session and the routing information all added up to a great weekend. Thank You Link to comment
