Ride the entire 101 miles of the 4 Trails starting at Marshland in the west and finishing at Reedsburg in the east. Reedsburg has recently lost the option of B&B lodging. We conclude with the last nights stay in standard hotel or one of two options: 1: discount of $100 per couple for no overnight and an approx. 5:00pm shuttle back to Sparta at your car. (shuttle time adjustments are available) or 2: approx. 5:00 pm shuttle back to Sparta for an overnight at the previous Sparta B&B in this tour.
NOTE 1: This tour requires a morning shuttle (10:00 am) with arrival in Marshland before or by NOON to allow enough time to reach Onalaska at a reasonable hour on this Wisconsin bike tour.
NOTE 2: This tour can be customized for most any request within reason and or what is available

Return to the trail and continue eastbound. Cross the trail bridge over I-90 and connect to the La Crosse River State Trail and ride on to Sparta (where you left your car). Sparta has a choice of restaurants and shops for your overnight stay. Lodging is about 8 blocks from the trailhead.
The trailhead in Sparta is the beginning of the Elroy – Sparta State Trail. Today will take you to two tunnels and to Wilton for evening lodging. As this is a shorter day, many nice road routes are available around Sparta and Wilton, where you can add as many miles, or just a few more, if you like.

Return to the trail and head east for the last tunnel. At Elroy the Elroy-Sparta State Trail links up with the “400” State Trail for the ride to Reedsburg and the final night of the tour. Reedsburg has a choice of restaurants.
