BURGR95 course will measure 95.5 miles including 66.2 miles on gravel, rough fire roads, fast single lanes and plenty of climbing. This ride is self-navigated through the wilderness of Lincoln, Langlade, and Oneida counties, unsupported except for one drop
bag point at mile 42. You will be responsible for yourself and should not count on rescue from anyone. You will be on the road for 5 to 7 hours and will not pass through any town ever. You will be in bear and wolf territory most of the time. Your phone will work most
of the time. All traffic laws and laws of nature apply.

The Fork Horners 47 course is generally flatter and smoother with none of the rough stuff that might be called B-roads out west.

Hundred Down

Ride Wisconsin's Ultimate Lap

August 19th, 2017 at the WEMS Thunderdown in the Underdown

Location: Underdown Main Parking Lot on Copper Lake Road between Irma and Gleason

Course: A 33 mile single track loop that combines the best of the old school with zippy machine built renovations.  Ride past 4 lakes, 5 bermed boardwalks and 64 hills all the way to the Prairie Dells overlook and back.  Guaranteed that there will be something you haven't seen before.  Mechanical updates are in progress to keep your momentum high.

• 11AM Start:
• Mid-distance solo: 2 laps completed between 11AM and 9PM
• Long-distance duo: 2 laps completed by both riders between 11AM and 9PM
• This is not a relay.  You will start with your buddy and could ride together the whole way if you want.  Lap times of both riders will be added together to calculate total time.
• 1PM Start:
• Mid-distance duo: 1 lap completed by both riders between 1PM and 7PM
• This is not a relay.  You will start with your buddy and could ride together the whole way.  Lap times of both riders will be added together to calculate total time.

Opening Ride Saturday May 6th

10AM at the Copper Lake Road Parking Lot

Underdown trails are cleaned up and ready to ride.

Closed

Underdown trails are closed until May 1st.
Plenty of downed trees to cut until then.
Trails volunteers needed in June and July.
Races in August.

Great Weekend

Ski trails are groomed.
Snowshoe trails are tracked and in good shape.
The Big Bog Loop was a different kind of fat bike ride today.  Dog Lake was a viable ride too, and Mist Lake is an adventure as always.

The Prairie Dells loop from Heineman Road  is incredibly fast right now.  The forecast looks good for more great riding, but give it a break if it gets too melty.
