Buffalo County Rally
This event is located in the upper North Central region. The rally is located in the unincorporated town of Waumandee, WI in an area with some of Wisconsin's finest rolling hills and winding roads. Waumandee is located approximately 1 hour north of La Crosse, 2 hours SE of the Twin Cities, and 15 miles east of the Mississippi River. This area is considered the northern half of the Wisconsin non-glaciated area.

Whether you camp or stay in a cabin, be sure to bring a camp chair for sitting around the campfire in the evening.

Area Attractions include, but are not limited to:

Grandad Bluff (La Crosse, WI)
International Owl Center (Houston, MN)
House with a Rock (Trempeleau, WI)
Perrot WI State Park (Trempeleau, WI)
Wildcat Mountain St. Park (Ontario, WI)
Many Local Breweries throughout the region, including
Leinenkugels Brewery (Chippewa Falls, WI)
Wisconsin Logging Museum (Eau Claire, WI)
Waumandee Graveyard Tour (self-guided, nightly) :-)

Weather: Normally dry and cool; highs upper 70's/Low 80's with 50-60 degree evening temps. BUT as always, check the local forecast before traveling.

There is a plethora of great roads in the area, but if you can't decide, we've prepared a couple day rides that should be a lot of fun.
