Daycare

This will be a family-friendly event.  The 4-H Junior Leaders will provide daycare for children ages 2 through 8 at the site.  Please indicate on your registration if you need daycare services. 

 

Routes

You will have a choice of four routes beginning and ending in Gays Mills.  The shorter 20-mile ride will stay in the river valley and take you to the Driftless Area Art Festival in Soldiers Grove, while the 62-mile (100 km) ride will take you over the ridge to Ferryville and the Mississippi River.  This year, we will also offer an intermediate 40-mile route, as well as a challenging 100-mile route that will take you into new territory and eventually rejoin the 62-mile route.  All of the routes are paved, but there may be loose gravel on seal-coated roads.
