The Coon Fork 40 features a deeply wooded signature ride of ~45 miles with 1,600 feet of elevation. Depending on the final route and which one you pick, you’ll see a mix of classic Amish farms, waterways both big and small, and plenty of towering Wisconsin pines. On everything from full-width gravel roads to narrow hidden paths (including a couple ATV trail segments), you’ll ride every color and type of gravel Wisconsin has to offer.

Roll on fast and hard-packed “hero” gravel, a bit of looser rocky gravel, and even a few patches of sand that might require a brief dismount or two - all in the name of adventure.

Want something longer or shorter? We’ve got it. How about 28 miles and a comfy 1,000 feet of elevation? Or maybe go all the way to 88 miles with 3,000 feet. There’s something for everyone, and all rides feature 85% or more gravel riding with a few paved connectors. And of course, all rides feature the Halfway Hang stop at roughly the mid-way point at Rock Dam Lake with free snacks, music, the beach, changing rooms, and more.

Not sure what bike to ride? Anything is fair game — a gravel bike, mountain bike, fat bike, or a road bike with beefier tires (38mm minimum) would all do the trick. Of course those short sandy patches will go better with bigger tires.

What else do you need? We’d recommend lights for other traffic if you’ve got them, a spare tube and tools just in case, bug spray and sunscreen, and of course plenty of water and snacks. And a swim suit if you want!

Support your own ride. While we’ll have snacks, water, supplies and restrooms for you at the Halfway Hang, you are responsible for yourself throughout the route in between. We’ll have routes and cue sheets to download or print before the event (Ride with GPS), as well as directional signage at key turns. But you are responsible to know your way. Be aware that cell phone service in this region can be spotty.
