Routes & Maps
Two paved rural road options with light traffic, a mix of open farmland, river crossings, and small-town stops:
- Short route: 38.5 miles
- Long route: 62.5 miles
Both routes start and end at the corner of Washington & State streets near the Piatt County Courthouse in Monticello. The two routes follow the same course to Argenta. Riders continuing on the long route will add a southern loop through Cerro Gordo before returning to Monticello. The short route returns directly to Monticello from Argenta.
Routes were checked and minor updates made May 10, 2026.
