    The Big Bull Falls Grand Fondo is not a race, but rather a chance for riders to challenge

    themselves while enjoying the ride at their own pace. The routes include scenic, rural

    landscapes of Central Wisconsin with three course lengths to choose from – 35, 73, or 101

    miles. Riders tailor their experiences to their preferences and abilities. There will also be a

    timed Strava segment in the 101-mile ride, with special awards for top finishers.

    This fully supported ride includes four rest stops, SAG support, a meal served after the ride, and

    a Strava-segment award presentation. We have many volunteers who are dedicated to ensuring

    everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

    In addition, profits from our ride will go to support the Bridge Street Mission and NAMI

    Northwoods.
