 rate our 11th season with us on another overnight bike camping trip! Devil
 s Lake State Park has long been Wisconsin's most popular State Park\, but 
 we will enjoy its beauty late in the fall with fewer people and at a quiet

 ander through the countryside with some rolling hills and a few to moderat
 e climbs before we meet the Highway 12 bike path and cross the Wisconsin R
 iver into Sauk City. In town\, we can replenish at Kwik Trip or the local 
 cafe before heading north on the Great Sauk Trail. We'll use the scenic\, 
 rustic way to the park. On the return\, we'll head east before crossing on
  the historic Merimac Ferry\, where ice cream can be had after we cross. W
 e'll go past Gibraltar Rock for an optional hike before heading to the bea
 utiful town of Lodi\, where services are plentiful. We'll finish the tour 
 riding on Lodi-Springfield Road\, a group favorite over the years\, as we 
 pass the IAT.\n\nWe hope to see you there!\n\n**Cost:** $10 pre-registrati
