Once voted the "Sufferfest of the Year" by Madison weekly newspaper Isthmus, "The Toughest One-Day Challenge Ride in the Midwest" is not to be missed by serious riders anywhere.

Friends of Military Ridge Trail provide a respite station for the bikers at a park in Black Earth.   Snacks, energy drinks, and a cool down spray with the hose are offered to hot, tired bikers.   Click here to go to the volunteer sign-up page.

Groups with DNR Permits to Use Trail

School groups, senior citizen groups, and other community groups can apply to the Wisconsin DNR for permission to use the trail at a specific time.  Click here for more information.
