SUMMARY:Wildcat Mountain Wander 300K
DESCRIPTION:Breaking news! \nThere is a bridge out in Sparta! I’ve done a route that detours around it but note that if you need to resupply  it’s roughly 54 miles from the control in Norwalk to Cashton. \nIf you need to resupply\, I recommend you turn right on Hill St (mile 90.3) to where it “T’s” with WI-27/Citizen Soldier Hwy\, make a left where you’ll see lots of food & drink options (Burger King\, Culvers\, McDonald’s and a Kwik Trip) then retrace your steps to rejoin the detour route. On Saturday you might be able to get across the bridge (it was complete when I previewed it on Monday 9/12) if they’re not working on it but be aware you might need to retrace your steps. \nWe’ll be running this route in conjunction with shorter and longer events and roll out together so even if you’re the only rider signed up for your particular distance it’s likely you’ll have company for at least part of the way. \nThe brief for this ride is the same as the Norwalk\, Black River and Cranberry Country rides: challenging but not overly brutal climbs mixed with long stretches on ridge tops and rolling through river valleys. Store stops placed at regular intervals to give you a chance to refresh and regroup. Lots of beautiful scenery and quiet roads. \n187.2 miles\, 8022 feet of climbing\, ACP certified \nRidewithgps link: here\nMore details: here\nBrevet card: here \nComplete the registration form below. You’ll receive an email which will contain a link to complete a waiver electronically and a PayPal link to pay for the ride. Note that there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received. \nImportant note: If you register and don’t receive an email confirmation check your spam folder!

SUMMARY:Fitchburg Frolic 600K
DESCRIPTION:For this new for 2022 ride\, we abandon our moniker and ride east through the heavily glaciated regions of SE Wisconsin. \nThe ride starts at the Wyndham Garden Inn Fitchburg and head east across the Lower Yahara River Trail boardwalk as we make our way out to Holy Hill through the Loew Lake Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. From this high point of SE WI\, we descend our way through Sinissippi Lake and the Horicon Marsh before we turn back towards home through the classic bucolic countryside of Southern WI to where we started for a few hours sleep before heading out on day 2. \nThe second day will take us back across the boardwalk out to East Troy and up through the Southern Unit of the Kettles before making the turn back home. \nThis is an ACP sanctioned event. 373 miles\, 13\,412 feet of climbing.\nRidewithgps full route here\nDay One here\nDay Two here \nAt 36ft/mi this isn’t a hilly route by typical Driftless standards\, but bring your legs\, just in case! \nMany thanks to Andy Quandt for his work developing this new route! \nComplete the registration form below.

SUMMARY:Fitchburg Frolic 200K
DESCRIPTION:This is a new route in 2022 and many thanks to Andy Quandt for his work developing the route! \nThe ride will start and finish in Fitchburg at the Wyndham Gardens hotel. This is quite a hilly route so you’ll want to bring your “climbing legs” or some easy gearing and maybe a bit of both! Although there are some pretty stiff climbs there are also lots of sections where you’re rolling along in a river valley or on a ridge top (but you gotta climb to get there!) so it’s reasonably well balanced. \nLeaving Fitchburg we’ll head over to Mt Horeb then Northward through Cross Plains and then up to Prairie du Sac (AKA “Sauk Prairie”)\, over to Plain then Southward to Spring Green. We’ll then “head to the barn” via Barneveld (and a fairly stiff climb!)\, Blue Mounds before completing the loop to Mt Horeb and finally returning to the start in Fitchburg. \nThis is an ACP approved route of 128.6 miles with 6\,425 feet of climbing so right at 50 feet/mile which is generally considered “hilly”. \nRidewithgps route here: here. \nComplete the registration form below. You’ll receive an email which will contain a link to complete a waiver electronically and a PayPal link to pay for the ride. Note that there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received. \nImportant note: If you register and don’t receive an email confirmation check your spam folder!

SUMMARY:Fitchburg Frolic 300K
DESCRIPTION:Another new route for 2022 and thanks to Andy Quandt for his work developing the route! \nThe ride will start at the Wyndham Garden motel in Fitchburg\, head over to Mt Horeb then Northward to Baraboo via Sauk City and a ride on the Lake Wisconsin ferry. \nFrom Baraboo we’ll head South East to Spring Green and Dodgeville then start working our way back to Fitchburg with stops in Hollandale and New Glarus. \nThe route has some climbs that’ll test the legs but is about “average” for riding in the Driftless so that means about 61 feet/mile so you’ll want to make sure you’re up for some climbing. \nThe ACP sanctioned route is just under 191 miles (307K so you’ll get your money’s worth!) with 11\,840 feet of climbing. \nRidewithgps route is here: here \nComplete the registration form below.

SUMMARY:Kickapoo Rouleur 150K
DESCRIPTION:This is the final event in our Rouleur Series. We’ll get an early start to allow those who came for the weekend to finish and get home at a reasonable time. \nThe ride is a nice route through the Kickapoo River valley taking in portions of the Reserve and Wildcat Mountain State Park. Hilly but not egregiously so for the area and a generally downhill run back to the “big city”. \n95.8 miles\, 4\,553 feet of climbing\, ridewithgps route here. \nComplete the registration form below.

SUMMARY:Dart Populaire - Rouleur Series
DESCRIPTION:This is the third event in our 2022 Rouleur Series. As before\, we’ll start the Saturday ride a little later to give those coming from afar the ability to drive to the start in the morning. \nWe’ll be doing a Dart Populaire Team Event for this ride. This is a ride with a minimum of 120 Km that must be completed in 8 hours. Briefly\, the rules are as follows: \n\n\n\n\n\nTeams consisting of minimum of 3 and no more than 5 riders.\nMinimum distance of 120 Km.\nA minimum of 25 Km must be ridden in the last 2 hours.  This must be verified by a timed and dated receipt.\nThree team members must finish together in order to receive credit for the ride.\nAny team members not finishing with the rest of the team will not receive credit for the ride.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe complete rules can be found here. \nNote that the Dart Populaire counts as a team event for a RUSA cup! \nHere’s the plan for the day: \n\n\n\n\n\nAssuming there will be a lot of solo riders who are interested in doing this ride\, we’ll form teams on the day of the ride.  The main ground rule is: everybody rides!  So don’t worry if you don’t have a team – come anyway!  We’ll form or reform teams as necessary to make sure that everybody rides!\nAlthough for longer events e.g.\, a flèche\, it’s customary for riders to form their own teams and develop their own route for this event we’re assuming that most people will be unattached and won’t want to do their own route design.  Accordingly\, we’ve developed three routes that meet the rules criteria.\nThe Blue River – Spring Green populaire\nThe Boaz to Boscobel populaire\nThe Plain and Fancy populaire\n\n\n\n\n\nNote that the three routes are within .1 of a mile of each other for distance with the Boaz route having about 1\,000 feet more climbing. \nIt sounds more complicated than it is – the absolutely most important thing is we’ll ride in small groups and HAVE FUN! \nComplete the registration form below. You’ll receive an email which will contain a link to complete a waiver electronically and a PayPal link to pay for the ride. Note that there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received. \nImportant note: If you register and don’t receive an email confirmation check your spam folder!

SUMMARY:Fennimore Frolic 200K
DESCRIPTION:Our traditional season opener features a beautiful route with long stretches in river valleys and quiet roads with just enough climbing to get those early season legs pumping! It’s an annual favorite for good reason! \n127 miles\, 4096 feet of climbing\, ACP certified \nRidewithgps link: here. \nNews flash! \nCR-Q at mile 59.2 is closed for construction to replace a bridge. As of 4/23 the bridge is still there BUT it’s possible it’ll be demolished and therefore impassable between now and the brevet. \nSo\, here’s what we’re going to do: \n\n\n\n\n\ndownload the route given above. If it’s been a while since you downloaded it you should do so again as I’ve changed a section of the route to avoid a section of road that’s being repaved.\nalso download the alternate route which detours around the construction.\nI’ll scout the route on Friday before the ride and will announce which route we’re going to use for the brevet. It’s important to note that will be the official route for the brevet. Should you decide to follow the original route and swim across the weather your ride will be disqualified (and you’ll be very wet!).\n\n\n\n\n\nComplete the registration form below. You’ll receive an email which will contain a link to complete a waiver electronically and a PayPal link to pay for the ride. Note that there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received. \nImportant note: If you register and don’t receive an email confirmation check your spam folder!

SUMMARY:Happy Anniversary 200K!
DESCRIPTION:In addition to remembering the people who lost their lives on Sept 11\, the date holds additional significance in 2021: it is the 100th anniversary of the first ACP brevet. Both RUSA and the ACP are planning on issuing something that will be available for purchase as a memento for riders participating in a brevet on that day. Here’s a bit of background about the first brevet courtesy of Bill Bryant (RUSA 7): \nThe Audax Club Parisien was founded in November of 1904 to participate in the new “audax” 200k endurance rides that were starting to take place. “Audax” signified always riding in a group at about 16-18 kph with a road captain who kept the group together the entire time\, and from going too fast. The rides often lasted from dawn to dusk and were fairly popular around the Paris region. Upon a successful completion of the ride\, participants were awarded a certificate or diploma (brevet in French) for their athletic feat– no small thing in a time of dirt roads and cobblestones and fairly primitive bicycles and cycling clothes and equipment \nOver time some of the riders began to itch to go faster than the steady audax pace\, others wanted to also include audax hiking activities with the group cycling\, while others wanted the club to remain true to its audax group cycling format. Club meetings became pretty heated affairs and in the summer of 1921 it all exploded. A majority of the ACP members voted to start doing “allure libre” or free-pace brevets that allowed riders to choose their own pace so long as they stayed inside the minimum and maximum speeds\, and they could ride alone or in a group– the same as we do today. The audax cyclists angrily decamped and formed their own organization\, as did the hiking contingent. \nSo\, there was no more “audax” in the Audax Club Parisien. On Sunday\, September 11\, 1921 the ACP held its first free-pace brevet of 200 km. The route was a big loop that went west and south of Paris to Dreux\, Chartres\, and then back to Paris. Twenty-six randonneurs and randonneuses completed the ride\, arriving at intervals back in Paris. Brevet #1 was issued that day\, starting a continuous string of numbered brevets that we still earn today. The free-pace randonneuring begun that day eventually spread through France in the 1920s and -30s\, around the globe starting in the 1970s\, and here we are in the 21st century\, still out earning our diplomas while choosing to ride our own pace and how many people we want to ride with. This is the formula of the Brevets de Randonneurs Mondiaux\, or BRM that you see on the front of brevet cards sanctioned by the ACP. \nFor this special event we’ll be riding the “Fledglings Dare” route: \n128.1 miles\, 5354 feet of climbing\, ACP certified\nRidewithgps link: here. \nTo register: \nTo register for this event complete the registration form below. You’ll receive a confirmation email which will contain a link to complete a waiver electronically and a PayPal link to pay for the ride. Note that there will be no day of ride registration – advance registration is mandatory! \nYour registration is not complete until your completed waiver and PayPal payment is received.
