In this episode, we explore some of Wisconsin's most scenic and diverse rail-trails, perfect for cycling enthusiasts. Starting in Madison, the 13.5-mile Capital City State Trail offers a moderately challenging ride through urban landscapes, ideal for year-round adventures with leashed dogs welcome. Next, the Glacial Drumlin State Trail from Waukesha spans 22.1 miles, providing an easy route for birding and biking, with the best visits between March and October. We also highlight the historic Elroy-Sparta State Trail, a 34.8-mile path featuring impressive 19th-century tunnels and varied terrains, from wetlands to prairies, making it a must-visit for those seeking a moderately challenging journey.

Jake will delve into the charming Sugar River State Trail in New Glarus, a 20+ mile route that showcases beautiful fall colors and a mix of asphalt and crushed stone paths, perfect for mountain biking and birding. Meanwhile, Eric will focus on the Hank Aaron State Trail in Milwaukee, a 6.7-mile easy route popular for winter activities and road biking, accessible year-round with leashed dogs. Lastly, the Fox River Trail in Green Bay stretches 25.8 miles, offering a serene and historical ride along a stunning body of water, with a special reminder to share the trail respectfully with all users. These trails provide a fantastic way to explore Wisconsin's natural beauty and historical landmarks, ensuring memorable rides for cyclists of all levels.
