Day 119: The Chequamegon 40 is it!

Whilst enjoying a cup of tea in my tent today, I noticed a most intriguing announcement for the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival. It seems this annual affair draws bicyclists from across the country to Cable, WI. It is the largest mass-start, point-to-point, off-road bicycle event in the nation, drawing nearly 1,700 riders!

The main event of the weekend is the Chequamegon 40, which, as you may have guessed, is 40 miles of pure two-wheeled stamina, taking cyclists over the famed American Birkebeiner Ski Trail, along with forest roads, and snowmobile trails until they reach the finish line in Cable, WI. And since such a trek is not complete without finish line festivities, you will be rewarded with parades, concessions, children’s events and special raffles.

To the trails,
Miles
