Thank you!
Anywhere around the Twin Cities but out of the city. We have more gravel roads and paved quiet country roads than almost any place I’ve been. Western Wisconsin is also another good place. Back in the day, roads were paved and kept very smooth so dairy farmers bottles didn’t clink together and chip. So there is a lot of lightly traveled pavement that is very smooth. We’ve cycled in far Northern Wisconsin a lot and we’re always impressed with the smooth roads and virtually no traffic. Try Boulder Junction, Presque Isle, Manitorwish Waters area - many many roads with no cars.
