Bob: I suggest you contact the Wisconsin Bike Federation to get their maps of the area you'll be traveling thru:
https://store.wisconsinbikefed.org/shop/bicycle-maps-set-of-four/ A few years ago some us rode SAGBRAW, up around Door County, then back to the Twin Cities, using these maps. They are absolutely first rate. The network of county roads is used and routes are selected for ease of riding & avoidance of traffic. Interstates are show in half tones for orientation purposes. The various rail-trails are shown. It's pretty much everything a touring cyclist would want, and I've used a lot of different types of maps. They're printed on waterproof stock and quite rugged. Not doing RAGBRAI but wish you the best. dougP On Sunday, January 24, 2016 at 7:14:48 PM UTC-8, Statrixbob wrote: > > Aloha all! > > Now that that RAGBRAI 2016 route has been announced ( > http://ragbrai.com/2016-overnight-town-map/) I've got the rest of my > summer ride plans to consider. > > I'll be attending my 40th (ouch) high school reunion this summer and I > convinced the committee to hold it the weekend after RAGBRAI by telling > them I'd ride from the end of that ride to Shorewood.
