SEVEN GREAT ROUTES

• 8 MILES - Just two little hills, but big biking pleasure. Wetlands, riverbanks, valley views, cows and corn - it's all here! Stop for snacks and enjoy the beauty of the river and countryside.
• 17 MILES - Ride through gentle, rolling terrain, down a rustic road, past horse paddocks and ponds, by woods and wetlands. Take a short detour past the Cedarburg Bog, visit one of the county's oldest churches and pay respects at an old Irish cemetery.
• 27 MILES - Add gentle rolling hills, wonderful views of Milwaukee River valleys and a meandering ride along the banks of Cedar Creek past Wisconsin's last covered bridge.
• 42 MILES - Enjoy many of the scenic sights of the 56 & 70 mile routes in only 42 miles.
• 56 MILES - Extend your ride through hill and dale past Sandy Knoll County Park with a rest stop on the Milwaukee River. Enjoy a few long downhills and explore history in Waubeka.
• 70 MILES - Add a 14 mile loop to the 56 mile route north from Waubeka to see grand vistas of drumlins and farms. Visit the historic Stoney Hill School and rejoin the 56-mile route to follow the Milwaukee River back to Riveredge Nature Center.
