The ride will start and end at the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds.
You can start any time between 7am and 10am on Sunday. If you did not pick up your wristband Saturday night, you must do so before you start. To reduce congestion on the roads and flexibility to the participants, there is no mass start.
Riders are asked to finish the ride by 4:00pm. SAG wagons will clear the route at that time and offer riders a ride back to the park. The post-ride meal will conclude at 5:00pm.
Follow the signs at the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds for ride parking.
Maps for the Ride are posted about 2 weeks before the ride on the route page and on Facebook. Riders may download maps in GPX or KML format from Map My Ride. Printed maps will be available at the registration table. Please check for any last minute changes at the registration table on Saturday or day of the ride.
Maps from Map my Ride provide elevation information. See the route page for links to these maps.
Yes, a vegetarian meal is available if ordered in advance (just let us know on your pre-registration form).
You may pick up your wristband on either Saturday night at the pre-ride get together, or Sunday between 7 and 10am at the starting line.
You can change your mind at any time. All routes start out the same to the first rest stop. At that point, the 35 and 50 mile routes head back over the river and the 75 and 100 miles head north. At the second rest stop, the 75 and 100 mile routes split.
You may ride on any style of bike you choose. The course is on all paved roads, so road bikes and upright hybrid bikes are the typical styles of bikes used by participants. If you would like to ride a mountain bike or fat bike go right ahead.
The event will take place rain or shine, hot or cold. We will keep an eye on the weather at each rest stop.
Yes. Regarding child trailers, make sure your children are also wearing helmets only the riders pulling the trailer need to register and pay the entry fee.
