Explore The Outdoors With A New Glarus Bike Tour

By Jessica Brooks


One of the best destinations for cycling in America is Wisconsin. A visit for a New Glarus bike tour will make you appreciate the unique beauty of the area, with the local lakes and sprawling plains being a sight to behold. The area is also well known for its many breweries, with outsiders visiting each year to sample what they have to offer.

The local tour companies usually plan for 3 to 8 day tours. It is advisable to travel with your bike if you have ample space for it in your car, but rentals are available from $100. Accommodation is also provided by most organizers, with standard rooms starting at $500 for five days.

Before traveling, it is important to check with the local tour firms on the availability of tours during that season. There is very little activity that goes on in winter and spring. The busiest months for the local firms are the months of summer. Just send an advance email to confirm availability.

The tour usually starts at Madison. There are miles of trails that follow the shores of lakes Monona and Mendota. The picturesque lakes are always filled with kayakers, sailors and paddle boarders. In summer, you will see lots of camping families by the many campgrounds that dot the lakeside.

The trails usually lead to the countryside. It is common for cyclists to stop midway to snap photos of the numerous rolling farms and red barns. Many cyclists like to regroup and rest at the popular Edgewater Hotel. The hotel is situated at a vantage point that gives guests uninterrupted views of the imposing Capitol Dome and Lake Mendota.

The most loved cycling areas are found in New Glarus, a town that lies a short distance from Madison. Swiss immigrants founded the town in 1845. You get an out of this world feeling just from looking at the grazing cattle and picturesque hills. A ride through the streets in town will let you see the attractive chalets and museums dedicated to Swiss history. A famous brew bistro lies at the southern part of the town.

If you look out carefully enough, you should be able to spot the skyline of Madison. The town is conveniently connected to Madison city through good roads. It is always advisable to cycle by the roadside in spite of the low traffic. After a cycle to the outskirts of town, you may head back to any of the several local restaurants for lunch.

Lakeside communities, open prairies and sprawling ridges make up the eastern part of the town. Glacial activity significantly contributed to the formation of the unique landscape. The most historically significant archeological site in the area is Aztalan. It dates back to 1000 AD. This is an attraction you should not miss out on.

Visitors often make it a point to check out Lake Geneva. Its surrounding landscape consists of bogs and forestland. Ride carefully when traversing the nearby trails. The vicinity of the lake is also lined up with restaurants, so grabbing a quick meal while exploring should be easy.
