    Check www.adventurecycling.org about the Mississippi River route they researched. You may have to take a side trip or two to get to points you want to go but they tried to map the most bike friendly route they could find. From Red Wing to Madison, you should probably check local sources like bike clubs or maybe Wisconsin's tourism bureau has biking info. There is a nice rail trail that could be used for part of that route (Elroy to Sparta, WI I think). It is hilly country but scenic and there are plenty of lightly traveled back roads for options.
