Course Description

The SAGBRAW route is designed to showcase the diverse beauty of Wisconsin while providing a manageable challenge for recreational cyclists. The journey begins and ends in the Wisconsin Dells, utilizing a "layover" format that allows riders to explore the host towns more deeply without packing up every single morning.

Event Highlights

The magic of SAGBRAW lies in the balance between time in the saddle and time spent enjoying the best of Wisconsin. Because the ride starts and ends in the Wisconsin Dells, participants have the unique opportunity to turn the weekend into a full family vacation, enjoying the world-class waterparks and boat tours that make the area famous.

• The Trek Factory Tour - A standout highlight for many riders is the Thursday layover in Columbus, which features an optional tour of the Trek bicycle factory. This is a rare opportunity to see where some of the world's most iconic bikes are designed and assembled.
• Lakeside Relaxation - Spending two days in Green Lake provides the perfect opportunity for swimming, boating, or simply enjoying a quiet sunset over the water after a morning of cycling.
• Small Town Charm - Each overnight stop is chosen for its hospitality and unique character, offering local dining and community vibes that you won't find on a standard road trip.
• Family-Friendly Atmosphere - The layover schedule is a favorite for families, as it reduces the stress of daily moving and allows kids and parents to set their own pace for exploration.
• Post-Ride Vibe - After the final day of riding, you are back at your car in the Dells, ready to celebrate your achievement with one last splash at a waterpark or a celebratory dinner with your new cycling friends.
