Due to skyrocketing prices for fuel, food, coach busses, and many other tour services the regular registration price of the full tour has increased by $50.00, each riding day of a partial day tour has increased by $10.00 per day for all participant types (rider, non-rider, and volunteer).

We will not provide hotel baggage service in Manitowish Waters. Instead, you should bring your baggage to the main lodging site yourself when you park there long-term during the tour.
If you sign up for the Mechanical Support Plan, you will need to specifically request the pre-ride inspection yourself as we will not be able to search out each participant individually to provide it.
Because our business is now based in Dane County, Wisconsin (previously Chicago, Illinois) we must now charge every participant Wisconsin sales tax on all Bike Wisconsin event services and merchandise. Accordingly, we will no longer have separate registration forms or charge separate taxes for Wisconsin and non-Wisconsin residents.
Registration procedures for postponed 2020 participants posted. Unfortunately, we can only allow postponed 2020 participants to register for an event at the original 2020 pricing schedule one time. Click Here for more information.
The number of days you register for the optional Towel Service, Tent Rental, Chair Rental, and Mechanical Support Plan must be the same as the number of days you will attend the event. For example you cannot register to ride for six days but only register for two days of the Mechanical Support Plan.
No refunds will be issued in the event we are unable to run an event due to circumstances beyond our control. These circumstances include but are not limited to disasters (natural and/or manmade), pandemics, war, acts of terrorism, government regulations, strikes, civil disorder, curtailment of transportation facilities, or acts of God. (Force Majure)
Only online registration will be available after regular registration closes four weeks before the start of the tour in order to assure that we receive all of your information and payment in a timely manner due to laspes in mail service. This deadline also corresponds to the regular registration deadline. Click Here for more information.

The price of the tour has increased by $5 per day for full tour registration and $6 per day for partial day tour registration including all non-riders and volunteers due to significantly increased rental fees for our main lodging sites and rest stop locations (parks).
