Ride Across Wisconsin 2016 Weekend is August 26th through the 28th. You can park in Kenosha and enjoy a relaxing bus ride to Dubuque on Friday afternoon. We’ll have a pre-ride party featuring Jens Voight on Friday evening. The main event is Saturday with the epic ride to Kenosha, finishing with a lap of the famous velodrome there and another party to toast your amazing accomplishment.

But if you’d rather get across our state in a more civilized two days, have we got the deal for you! We’ve arranged for a stay over in Beloit, with food and festivities there on Saturday night. Then you’re off to Kenosha on Sunday finishing with the same lap of the velodrome and closing party.

This isn’t just a great way to tour the state and to put another notch in your growing list of cycling conquests. It’s also a way to make cycling better for everyone. That’s because your registration supports the Bike Fed. Everyone who enters automatically becomes a member or renews their membership. Already with 6,500 members (up over 50% in just two years) we’re on a mission to break the 10,000 member mark in just a few years more and then we’ll keep going after that. Why not 20,000? Why not more?

And whether you choose the one or two day ride you’ll be treated to great, locally sourced farm-to-table food along the way, sag support from Wheel & Sprocket, and all the top notch accoutrement that comes with a Trek supported event. And, of course, if you can keep up with him you can chat with the ever outgoing Jensie along the way.
Each membership not only supports our work financially, it means more power behind the push for better cycling laws and infrastructure. Cycling isn’t just movement, it’s a movement. And the more people in that movement the stronger and more effective it will be. There’s still time to register, but we’re closing in our target number to make it a great ride. So, don’t delay. Go to the Bike Fed’s website and reserve your spot for the one or the two day ride right now. And when you’re done signing up, page through yet another Bike Fed Magazine masterpiece. Enjoy the read.
