| "This is the second time that I have hired bikes from Eric for a trip. The first was a ride up through Patagonia and the latest from Oregon, through Canada and on up through Alaska - some 6,500kms. I cannot recommend Eric and his team at Rideadv more highly. Great people to deal with - honesty, integrity, reliability, well maintained bikes that are comprehensively kitted out………and importantly people that ride themselves and understand that things do not always go to plan and will work with you to help get things sorted whatever they are and wherever you are. Thanks Eric - you guys are simply awesome!" |
-Mark Stewart from Australia on the heels of a successful ride to Alaska with his friend Phil, and our Oregon-based motorcycle rentals. A pair of Africa Twin's, 2 experienced riders, the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, Alberta, the Yukon, and all the moose, elk, bears, and other wildlife along the way, quite a journey a long time in the making. Just loved this picture as two voyagers were headed out of the shop that day. Come again, guys!

"Well, the trip came to an end today. Pulled in at 3:00 showing 1475 miles. I can't wait to start looking through all the pictures and videos. Really want to thank you guys for an incredible time! I could not have asked for a better time. Chad...you and Ernie are top notch tour guides and photographers...thank you!"

Itinerary
Day 1 (Thursday night)
All riders arrive in Galena, Illinois where your hotel room awaits you and we'll have a pre-trip meeting to and cover any questions riders have.
Day 2 (Friday)
Rise and shine, nice and early...there's a long ride ahead! Our adventure starts with rolling hills, pavement, and the easiest of the gravel riding spread throughout the day. Crossing the Mississippi River and heading briefly into Iowa, the area of Prairie du Chien will serve as one of our thru points on the way to the Black River Falls area. The best part of the first day just might be that the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail gets even better from here on!
Day 3 (Saturday)
With almost 2 more degrees of latitude already behind us, we're likely to be feeling some extra cold descending upon us from Canada. Using the Clark County ATV trails and a mix of other unique backroads, about 80% of our day will be spent off-pavement on the way to the Hayward and Clam Lake area of northern Wisconsin. Riding under tree canopy like this is an absolute treat that too few adventure riders get to enjoy!
Day 4 (Sunday)
Although reservations might not even be possible, we'll still enjoy a late breakfast from the enormously popular "Delta Diner" and experience one of northern Wisconsin's most unique and popular culinary options. Mostly sand-riding will make out the remainder of this half-day ride, as we charge closer to "Wisconsin's northernmost post office" in the town of Cornucopia. With the chance to touch the frigid waters of Lake Superior at our ultimate moment, if you're like most riders, you'll want to turn around and ride the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail back home!
