Weekend of mountain biking for all levels through the Chequamegon National Forest Region of NW Wisconsin (Cable/Hayward). The Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association (CAMBA) off-road bike trail system consists of over 300 miles of marked and mapped routes through a near-wilderness area of striking beauty and peaceful solitude.This well-mapped trail system includes many routes that use singletrack paths, gravel forest roads, two-track trails, and ski trails. Lodging is a bunk in a rustic cabin or camping on our property.
Friday:
We’ll leave the cities after work on Friday, it’s about a 3-hour drive to our place.
Saturday:
Ride at your own pace on your choice of trails — or take part in the Mt. Borah Epic race. We’ll be patrolling the race, so you must be comfortable riding on your own or with a buddy. The trails are well mapped and rated according to ability. | trail guide |
Race: The Borah Epic is nothing short of its true definition, epic. Full course is 33–36 miles, Half Epic is 16–18 miles of pristine single track. The course offers an experience difficult to replicate in most mountain bike races nationwide and will leave riders grinning from ear to ear upon finishing.100% of race profits are donated to CAMBA so they can continue to build and maintain these awesome trails!
Sunday:
More riding, or possibly hiking if we feel we need to use different muscles.
Accommodations: Camping or a bunk in a rustic cabin (we ask for $20 to help with expenses). No running water; to clean up after a long day of biking, we either pay for a shower at a hotel, swim in a lake, or use a portable outdoor shower.
Food: Bring your own breakfast, lunch, and snacks. We’ll head to a local eatery for dinner on Saturday.
Estimated cost: $20 ($100 if you race) + food/gas. Deposit: $20. Max trip size: 8-12 people willing to carpool.
