Come on out for a fun weekend event to explore the beautiful roads in the Western Wisconsin driftless area.
The “alphabet roads” of Wisconsin’s driftless area may be the best kept car and motorcycle enthusiasts secret in the upper midwest. The driftless area features rugged terrain that was never scoured by glaciers, offering stunning ridgelines, secluded valleys and endless rolling hills – geography that seems more like the Appalachian foothills than Wisconsin. The main rally event will be our “Coffee and Curves Run” that will take in some of the best motoring the area has to offer.
