The fondo begins with a group roll out from the Port of Dubuque. Just after starting, riders will be greeted with the breathtaking views from Eagle Point Park in Dubuque (pictured).
After heading north, the first rest stop is located at the scenic overlook near Balltown, IA. Scope out the river, grab some apple cider, and head on down to the river!
After a few fun climbs around the bluffs of the Iowa side of the river, wind on down to the river, pick up some snacks, and hop on the ferry. For more info on the ferry, check out the ferry website.
Head down the Wisconsin side of the river to your final aid station at the Grant River Recreation area.
You're almost there! Spin your way on up into Illinois and across the Julien Dubuque Bridge to find the finish line party back in the Port of Dubuque!
