We make the route, you ride the ride.

Driftless Cycling

    There’s something special about the place where Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa meet. We call it the Driftless Region, where the Ice Age glaciers failed to grind down a corrugated, primal landscape.  

    It’s a cyclist’s playground of bluffs, ridges, coulees and valleys on both sides of the Mississippi,  is criss-crossed by two networks: smooth, low-traffic county byways and rolling gravel backroads.

    We’re volunteers who ride, map, and publicize free routes to promote riding in the Driftless. A variety of lengths and difficulties offer excitement and challenges for all levels of riders. These routes are designed to be ridden self-supported, with free Ride with GPS maps to follow and regular convenience store stops.
