The Wisconsin Bike Fed announced in a recent press release that it will again host its Ride Across Wisconsin (RAW) event August 19–20.
The Bike Fed’s largest fundraiser of the year will revisit its route from La Crosse to Milwaukee, but this year, riders will be able to complete the ride entirely on paved surfaces or by a combination of trail and paved surfaces.
The route showcases Wisconsin attractions including the Elroy-Sparta State Trail Tunnels, Wisconsin Dells: Waterpark Capital of the World, Merrimac Ferry, Trek’s World Headquarters, and a new finish line spot: American Family Field’s Tailgate Haus.
With one- and two-day options, riders can choose a 235-, 165-, 135-, or 100-mile challenge. A new 11-mile (or 22-mile round trip) route on the Elroy Sparta Trail on August 19 is family-friendly option.
The RAW event will also include activity bags, RAW Car Bingo, swimming, nature activities, and more at Mirror Lake State Park.
Details about Ride Across Wisconsin routes, registration, transportation, and support are available online.
