Memorial Day Weekend: 3-Day State Line Classic!

Introduction: Celebrating our 11th season, join us on a three-day tour to our neighbors to the south via gravel trails and quiet country roads. On our first day, we'll head south out of Odana Hills Golf Course to the scenic Badger State Trail, where we will pass through the towns of Belleville, Montebello, and Monroe before transitioning to the beautiful Jane Addams Trail once we cross the Illinois state line. Our first night, we'll stay at the secluded Lake Le-Aqua-Na State Recreation Area (sorry, no alcoholic beverages). On Day 2, we'll meander back north on gravel and quiet country roads through the towns of South Wayne and Argyle before reaching our destination for the night, along the picturesque Pecatonica River in Blandchardville, one of the group's favorite villages over the years. The final day takes us over some hills to New Glarus, the bustling hamlet of Paoli, before heading toward Verona, where we take the Military and Southwest Commuter Path back to Madison. If the distance from Madison is too far, or you are looking to condense the tour into two days, an optional start from New Glarus State Woods is available with a vehicle state park sticker and license plate number for the park manager. Please reach out at least 3 days in advance with this information. Note that the route and itinerary are flexible and may be adjusted due to weather or member preferences, but the intent is to offer the full route.
