Biking Guide OFFICIAL BIKING GUIDE NINTH EDITION Welcome As Governor, it’s my pleasure to invite you to explore our outstanding natural resources, charming towns and exciting cities on two wheels. Wisconsin is a leader in bicycling, offering a world class combination of linear and mountain bike trails and lightly-traveled rural paved roads. In fact, Wisconsin is home to the nation’s first rails to trails program, which has now converted 80 former rail beds into recreational trails that crisscross the state. From picturesque rolling country hills in southwestern Wisconsin to the premier CAMBA mountain biking trails in northern Wisconsin to exceptional touring trails in every corner of the state, Wisconsin offers an outstanding ride for all levels of biking enthusiasts. It’s a great way to explore our natural beauty and rich heritage, and no matter where you are, there are plenty of friendly people ready to welcome you. Use this guide as your starting point to plan your next biking adventure in Wisconsin. We look forward to welcoming you.

Riding cliffside, cruising wide-open country roads, or dodging pines in a 1.5 million acre forest – this is Wisconsin biking. You haven’t biked some of the coun- Atry’s greatest trails until you’ve biked our state. We’re currently ranked as one of the top 10 biking states in the nation by the League of American Bicyclists. Wisconsin was the first state to convert abandoned railways to multiuse paths. One of the best known, the Elroy-Sparta State Trail, is the nation’s first rails-to-trails conversion. Wisconsin’s secondary road system is among the best in the na- tion. Looking for open country roads? We’ve got ‘em, complete with grazing cows in the distance for that true Midwest experience. Think you’re extreme? Give Wisconsin mountain biking a try. Our rolling hills make for intense off-roading adventures. Plus Wisconsin’s landscape takes you to beautiful places you can’t see from the road. But it’s more than just our miles of well-groomed trails and beauti- ful scenery. Our active state advocacy group, the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin, is dedicated to funding the sport. Wisconsin is also a favorite of world-class bicycle manufacturers. Companies such as Trek, Pacific Cycle and Saris love the combination of the state’s urban and country landscape and sports culture and have built their businesses here. So with that going for us, where else would you rather ride? Head on out and let the good times roll! 2 Find more fun at travelwisconsin.com or call 1-800-432-8747.

Though Dane County allows reduced capacity indoor dining, many restaurants have chosen to offer takeout and delivery only at this time. We have tried to remove restaurants that have been closed permanently and mark those that have closed temporarily, but this is not an exhaustive list and some venues listed here as temporarily closed may either fully re- open or permanently close by the time of the meeting. We will make an updated version of this document in June. Madison Dining Guide Your fellow commissioners may have similar ideas for dinner and the summer is a busy time for tourism in Madison. Please remember to make reservations well in advance, particularly for larger groups such as delegation dinners. We’ve indicated general price ranges for each restaurant listing. Please see the guide below (the prices listed are for an average entree). These are estimates. If you are concerned, please consult the restaurant website for current pricing. $ - Inexpensive/Casual (up to $15) $$ - Moderately Priced ($15-$25) $$$ - Expensive ($25-35) $$$$ - Very Expensive/Fine Dining ($35+) Nearby Restaurants in Downtown Madison Each of these restaurants is an approximate ten-minute walk or less from the Monona Terrace Convention Center and Hilton 1.
