Day 14 Part 2 Overview

Part 2 of Day 14, I rode the Mississippi River run rolling south from Prescott, Wisconsin on Wisconsin Highway 35.

When I lived in Minnesota, this was one of my favorite routes to ride motorcycles.  Back then, that motorcycle would have been a Honda VTX 1300C (that I crashed in California in August 2017).   The Minnesota side (Highway 61) of the Mississippi river is also a nice ride.  I do prefer the Wisconsin side as there is more visual scenery, and more sweeping curves.  I often would ride south on the Wisconsin side and cross the river either into Winona Minnesota or across the river into Minnesota from La Crosse, WI and roll north on Highway 61.

Today, there was no crossing back into Minnesota as I was on my return part of this trip back to where I live now near Atlanta, Georgia.

I completed today’s ride stopping in Peru, Illinois staying in a hotel overnight.

Day 14 Review

I rolled out from Coon Rapids, MN through Saint Paul, MN (see part 1 video), into Prescott, Wisconsin and completed the day in Peru, IL.

Total miles for Day 14 were about 430 miles.
