Frequently Asked Questions
What is the "Spirit of the Hungry Bear" and what should I expect?
The Hungry Bear retains its roots as a minimally organized, self-reliant event that feels more like a family reunion than a typical corporate race. You can expect a community-focused atmosphere where riders support one another through the beautiful, rugged terrain of Northern Wisconsin.
What type of bike and tires are best for the Cable, Wisconsin gravel?
A dedicated gravel bike or a hardtail mountain bike is ideal for these mixed surfaces. We recommend tires with a width of 38mm or larger to handle the varying conditions and scenic forest roads found throughout the 100-mile course.
How many aid stations are available during the ride?
There are two official aid stations located along the route to help you refuel. However, because we embrace a self-reliant spirit, riders should be prepared to carry enough water and nutrition to bridge the gaps between these stops.
Is the Hungry Bear Gravel suitable for all skill levels?
While the distance is an extraordinary endurance challenge, we welcome riders of all levels who possess a spirit of adventure. The event is designed to help you uncover your hidden potential and celebrate personal achievement alongside a supportive cycling community.
What does it mean to be self-reliant during this event?
Being self-reliant means you should be prepared to handle your own basic mechanical repairs and navigation. Please ensure you have the route downloaded to your GPS device and carry a multi-tool, spare tubes, and a pump to ensure a smooth ride through the remote sections.
How does my participation help the local community?
By joining us in Cable, you provide a significant boost to local businesses as they kick off their summer season. We encourage riders to visit local shops and restaurants during their stay to show appreciation for the community that hosts our gravel adventure.
