MRT Riding Day 13 - 8/14/2026 – La Crosse WI to Prairie du Chien WI - 65 miles

 Prairie du Chen was always one of our potential stopping points for our ride along the northern Mississippi River.  And today was such an enjoyable day of riding that decide we decided to end on this high note.   Wisconsin SR 35 continued to be a wonderful bike touring route with constant wide shoulders, lots of interesting pullouts with river views and historical markers, as well as town ever 7 to 10 miles.  We have really enjoyed our whole route from Bemidji to Prairie du Chen.  

Lots of interesting homes built on floating docks since Winona




One of the nice roadside stops, this one at Ferryville
