Chequamegon National Forest Bike Trails – CAMBA
I'll try and keep this fairly short and to the point. I've been wanting to ride the CAMBA maintained Chequamegon National Forest trails for about nine months or so, and I finally got around to making the longish trip north on Thursday 25th June 2015. DAY ONE I set off...
The Bear 100 Gravel Event, Saturday May 23rd – Laona WI
I can't remember exactly how I came to hear about this event. Part of me wishes I never had. I think I found a link on a mental health forum somewhere, followed the link looking for 'ways out' and ended up at The Bear 100 website. [Here] Their website really doesn't...

Completed First Mini Tour in Wisconsin
It's been a Summer of firsts as far as cycling is concerned. It's been my first real Summer of biking since I was a kid (I'm in my 50's now). I rode my first Century 3 weekends ago, followed by my first Century/Camp a week later. Then last Friday (26th Sep) I set out...
Peninsula Century
Ride Date: September 13 2014 Event: Peninsula Century Ride Route: 100 mile Location: Sister Bay WI OK so this was my first Century ride, big deal. It wasn't nearly as tough as I thought it might be. My previous distance was way below a 100m and I was concerned that I...
