Some time in the past year or so, _Bicycling_ magazine published an
article that discussed several tours. One of these was in the New
Glarus, WI area. My SO and I are interested in doing that one, but I
can't locate the issue. Can anyone tell me in what issue the article
appeared or send me a photocopy?
Thanks...

A friend and I did a week this year up in Wisconsin and included this
loop in our itinerary. Some of the most beautiful cycling I have
encountered is to be had in Wisconsin. You will like this ride a lot.
As luck would have we met the author of the article at lunch in Spring
Green. (Make sure you hit the Spring Green Hotel for a lunch or dinner,
great German home cooking at reasonable prices. The potato, dumpling
soup is an incredibly good way to load the carbos. Ah, such fond
memories, yet I digress.)
Small hotels are plentiful and reasonable in the area. We plan to do it
again next summer, but we will not camp. We plan to do day trips from a
little north of New Glarus using Dodgeville as a base of operations.
New Glarus is an easy loop from Dodgeville.
You can ride for weeks up there and never do the same loop twice. Make
sure you write the state Chamber of Commerce. They have some excellent
biking materials.
I made a similar request to yours back in the summer and got some good
information. Seems to me the note was back in the 1600 range. I'll try
to find it for you. If you want to give me a call at DTN 443-3221 I'd
be glad to provide you as much additional information as you want
regarding our experience.

I grew up in Central Wisconsin (pre biking days) and although the
New Glarus area is quite beautiful I'd have to vote for Northern
Wisconsin as a better vacation spot. The area is absolutely
amazing in it's beauty. Take Vermont and add a couple of thousand
lakes and you get Northern Wisconsin. It is a very popular area
for people from Milwaukee/Chicago to go on vacation. Cottage
rentals are easy to find. I have a soft spot for the area around
Rhinelander and Antigo.

You might be interested in reading 1717 for additional information on
Wisconsin routes other than the one described in the Bicycling article.
Whatever you decide, good luck. Let us hear about your trip.
