Welcome to yet another season of great riding along the back roads of Dane County. Rides will be between 20 and 35 miles in length and will have short and long options so that riders of differing abilities can participate. Routes have been designed for minimum traffic density and maximum scenery. Most are hilly. WNBR post-ride tailgates are a well known lasting tradition.

New for 2023!  If you would like to use your Smart Phone for Navigation, WNBR has a Ride With GPS club account!   Create a free RWG account (if you don't already have one) and download the App for free Voice cues, offline maps and cuesheets!!!
