Join us Saturday, May 4, 2013 for the Coulee Region Bike Tours, with your choice of four scenic rides. The Bike Tour is a leisure, noncompetitive, untimed event.

The 2013 Coulee Region Bike Tours have gone through some changes and updates to improve your experience. The experts at River Trail Cycles, have developed four routes to better suit all levels of riders.

Time
The 32, 43, and 62 mile tours will have a mass start at 7:30AM. The 5 mile family tour will begin at 9:30AM.

The Courses
The four tour options you can choose from each have incredible scenery and great cycling for all levels of riders!

The 5-mile family friendly ride takes participants on the marsh trails and back to Riverside Park.

The 32-mile ride is an easy flat ride through Goose Island, down to Stoddard and back to Riverside Park. This is a great ride for the beginner cyclist.

The 43-mile ride follows the 32-mile route through Goose Island and Stoddard and with an added looping through Chaseburg for one large climb before heading back to Riverside Park.

The 62-mile ride is more challenging with rolling hills, a few climbs and one large climb. This ride goes through Goose Island, down to Stoddard,through Chaseburg and Coon Valley where the ride makes it's final turns back towards La Crosse.
