16 Mile Loop
Enjoy a relaxing 16-mile tour along the river valley back roads between Whitehall and Independence. This is an easy ride for families or the occasional recreational bicyclist.

The 23- mile Loop
Follows the same route as the shorter loop but turns off at around the 10- mile point. This route soon begins a moderate yet steady climb to the Top of the World or at least seems like it. Square Bluff is the highest Trempealeau County road and one of the most spectacular panoramic views. Once on top of Square Bluff Road you will follow this ridge top for the next 4 miles. Be sure to take a few moments to enjoy the spectacular views while riding this ridge top road. Extended “World Tour”
Approximately 40 up to 60+ miles of challenging hills, roller coaster hilltop riding and a valley bottom ride back to the main course on Cty D back to Whitehall. There is a little of everything a sport cyclist is looking for in this loop. The extented World Tours split from the two short routes shortly after departing. However this route reconnects back into the main loop before the first rest stop.

Refreshments and Snacks will be provided before the tour begins. There are two well-stocked rest stops one is across from the picturesque Fagerness Church and also on the Extended Tour. Sag wagons will be patrolling the loops in case you need assistance or to be brought back to town.
