2024 Wednesday Night Bike Rides  

Welcome to another riding season on the back roads of Dane County. Rides are 20-35 miles & have route options so that riders of differing abilities can participate. Routes have been designed for minimum traffic density & maximum scenery. Most are hilly. WNBR post-ride tailgates are a well known tradition.  Most riders leave between 5:00-5:30!
