It's a fun ride lot's of fun back gravel roads, bit of 2 track and some hiway riding! The local establishments love the event and pretty much let us take over the town for weekend. |

Sounds like fun, unfortunately the buy-in is a bit steep for my liking. 35 for the ride plus 39 for the AMA membership. That equates to 5 tanks of gas on the lesser adventurous central WI roads. |

Hey I just looked at your profile. How long have you lived in Poy Sippi? I grew up around there and still have a lot of family out there. Send me a PM we should hook up and go riding sometime. |
