Any age or skill level can experience cycling on village streets and a paved bike trail. The villages of Rockton and Roscoe are true delights that should not be missed. (No supported rest stop, but several commercial stops are available.)

30 Mile Ride

Comment by Jim Kline on May 31, 2016 at 8:45am: Very nice weekend - thanks to the Blackhawk Bike and Ski Club. Was worth driving out from the city and an overnight hotel stay. Course had some challenging hills and the high winds made life interesting. But the organization was spot on and the course was easy to navigate. Next year I'll start earlier in the morning and spend a little time exploring Brodhead.
