Stoughton 600K

Note that there’s been a change of start location from Fitchburg to Stoughton but other than the changes needed to remove the segment to the old start location and add the cues to get to/from the start in Stoughton the route is otherwise the same.

As noted on the 400K, we did this route for the first time in 2022 and the weather gods were not at all kind with cold temperatures and pouring rain. Fingers crossed for better weather this year!

The ride starts at the Kwik Trip in Stoughton and heads east across the Lower Yahara River Trail boardwalk as we make our way out to Holy Hill through the Loew Lake Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. From this high point of SE WI, we descend our way through Sinissippi Lake and the Horicon Marsh before we turn back towards home through the classic bucolic countryside of Southern WI to where we started for a few hours sleep before heading out on day 2.

The second day will take us back across the boardwalk out to East Troy and up through the Southern Unit of the Kettles before making the turn back home.

Note that there are two hotels adjacent to the Kwik Trip start:

A Tru by Hilton: (608)-205-2566
A Quality Inn (608)-205-4201

Riders are responsible for their own reservations.

This is an ACP sanctioned event. 379.8 miles, 13,882feet of climbing.

At 36ft/mi this isn’t a hilly route by typical Driftless standards, but bring your legs, just in case!
