"I'd like to find the guy who said that and put a level on his head!" -- Wisconsin resident, commenting on the marketing claim that the Elroy-Sparta Trail has only a six percent grade

It's 32 miles long, traveling through rolling Wisconsin dairyland, and it's a great mix of grade and flat. Three times, the trail passes through long tunnels that are a cooling relief on the hottest day.
