Moderate A mostly moderate ride with three climbs, two of which are challenging. This route heads east up the rural La Crosse River valley to Bangor before turning north and engaging the first climbs of the day. Starting with a moderate hill (that can still be a bit surprising), you’ll get your heart rate up for the steady, steep and challenging Highway E climb. After a turn in Mindoro you follow a scenic and winding road to the famous Mindoro Cut before a fast descent back to West Salem. Motorcyclists come from all over the midwest to do this twisting route, and cyclists will love it too.
