From the Organizer
Experience the beauty of Central Wisconsin from the saddle at the 5th Annual Big Bull Falls Grand Fondo. Whether you're tackling your first supported ride or chasing a personal best, you'll find a route that fits your goals—and a cycling community that's cheering you on every mile of the way.
Choose from 35-, 73-, or 101-mile routes that wind through scenic backroads, rolling countryside, and welcoming communities. This is not a race—it's your ride. Set your own pace, ride with friends, or push yourself to a new challenge.
For those looking to test their speed, the 101-mile route includes a timed Strava segment with awards for the top finishers.
From the moment you roll out to the finish-line celebration, you'll enjoy a fully supported ride with well-stocked rest stops, SAG support, clearly marked routes, and a delicious post-ride meal. Our dedicated volunteers are committed to making your day safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable.
When you ride the Big Bull Falls Grand Fondo, you're doing more than checking another event off your calendar. Proceeds from the ride support Bridge Street Mission and NAMI Northwoods, helping strengthen the Central Wisconsin community we call home.
Ride your challenge. Support your community. Create memories that last long after the finish line.
