Difficulty: Difficult terrain with longer, steeper hills
Limited to: 350 Participants

The Big Bull Falls Grand Fondo is not a race, but rather a chance for riders to challenge themselves while enjoying the ride at their own pace. The routes include scenic, rural landscapes of Central Wisconsin with three course lengths to choose from; 35, 71, or 100 miles. Riders tailor their experiences to their own preferences and abilities. There will also be a timed Strava segment in the 100-mile ride, with special awards for top finishers in multiple age classes for both men and women.

This fully supported ride hosted by the Wausau Wheelers Bicycle Club includes four rest stops, SAG support, a meal served after the ride, and the Strava-segment award presentation. We have many volunteers dedicated to ensuring everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Profits from our ride will go to support the Bridge Street Mission and NAMI Northwoods, fighting homelessness and mental illness in central Wisconsin.
