Seth, No experience with this group in particular. Flat is a relative thing when it comes to bike rides - to me most of Wisconsin so far is 'flat' but that's because I'm judging it against long, sustained climbs. I don't think I've done a climb that was much longer than one mile yet (though I knowere were there are a couple.) I think the difference between the maximum and minimum elevations for the state is only something like 1,000' so there obviously won't be any really extended climbs. Some areas have lots of short, sharp climbs, though - I did a ride down around New Glarus a couple of years ago and actually had to use my third chainring!
If a route follows one of the meandering rivers it's a good bet that it will be relatively flat. Crossing from one river to the next can involve a little climb. A bigger deterrent to riding here is the wind, which can get pretty monotonous :( That being said, though, I love riding here. The county and other back roads are an increadible gift to the cyclist and the drivers have been much more corteous than they were in Washington (caveat - I live, and mostly ride, in a pretty rural area here and I lived in the Everett/Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia corridor there.) -Ken On Sunday, March 10, 2013, Seth Vidal wrote: > Hi, > Does anyone on the list have any experience with: > > http://pedalacrosswisconsin.com/ > > I'm a little curious about them - though I must admit - doing 50-60 > miles/day for 6 days feels like it could leave me a bit tired - I'm curious > just how flat this really is and other experiences. > > Thanks, > -sv > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com <javascript:_e({}, > 'cvml', 'rbw-owners-bunch%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com');>. > To post to this group, send email to > rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com<javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', > 'rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com');> > . > Visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en-US. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
