Those rides should be fine for what most will want or feel comfortable with. They are mostly more relaxing routes not requiring a lot of work. They do drift through the valleys and hills, giving anyone riding them a nice ride with some good views.

However, one of the routes runs for bit on County Road P; which is one of my favorite roads in the entire area. It is mostly a more narrow road with several tight twisted turns, going on for several miles. Anyone riding CR-P does not have to worry though. They can take it at their own speed and still enjoy it. If that route is run so that you ride CR-P from the west to the east, it is better in that direction. It takes you through some of my favorite valleys in that area.

If anyone is wanting a bit more challenging routes just ask me. I have quite a few I can recommend.

I am not sure if it was just my computer acting-up; but I could not get the last two routes to come up on the brochure. The brochure should be downloadable off the net though for anyone wanting to look at it.

Good job Amin.

I was wondering if you would make it Dave. It will be great to see you there!

We have to get a few more people to obligate themselves though. We only have a few who have committed to the rally.

For what it is worth, the following link is to my Adobe-Slate site where I put together several posts about the different areas I ride my motorcycle.

This particular link is to one about the Driftless Area; the area where this rally will be based.

Maybe it will help to entice a few who are not familiar with the area to show for this rally.

Thanks Greg. I am sure we will have more people coming as the new year comes around. I am sure people are looking forward to seeing maybe some great routes you might be able to plan out for group or individual rides, like you did for the 2012 regional rally Greg

Great job Greg. I too enjoy riding in this area, especially when I am chasing that beautiful Limited you ride.

Yeah I would much rather be chasing each other around that area right now!

We are in the middle of a relentless ice storm here now.

Apparently... I just cannot keep-up with all the bikes you are buying all the time.

Congrats on the new bike Mike!

Camping close to Hillsboro is limited.

The closest is right within Hillsboro in their park. It is a primitive campsite; thus no showers and etc. Here is the info on it:

Camping - Albert Field Memorial Park
The City of Hillsboro offers free camping in Albert Field Memorial Park. Primitive sites can be reserved at City Hall (123 Mechanic Street) or by calling (608)489-2521. Please contact the City prior to setting up camp.

Another choice is in the Wildcat State Park.
They have various types of sites and do have shower facilities.
However, I am not sure how easy it will be to get to their sites on a motorcycle. Although I have ridden in the area for years, I have not ever ventured into the park's camp grounds, since the roads appeared to be gravel on hills (steep hills). You could always call the park and ask one of the rangers for more details if you want. Overall, Wildcat S.P. is a beautiful park with some of the highest peaks in the entire area, and a clean, clear spring-fed river running though it that many canoe and fish on.

http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/wildcat/camping.html

Wild Bill's Hill Campground:
The last I knew, there also is a campground in Union Center (just a short distance east of Hillsboro -- five-minute ride) called Wild Bill's Hill. However, I cannot find a number for it. If it is still in business (and I believe it more than likely is) then, that might be your best bet. Do some searches and see if you can find their number. You could also call another business's number in Union Center and ask them about the campground's number. It is a very small town and everyone knows everyone. People in this area of Wisconsin are generally very nice and helpful; especially with tourists, as it is a big part of the area's revenue.

I will continue to think about other possible sites in the weeks coming; but as of now these are the closest I can think of. Others I know of are quite a few miles away from Hillsboro.
