Main Check In and Opening Meeting
The main check in will begin at 5:00 pm on Saturday at the Phelps main lodging site, and the opening meeting will immediately follow the main check in. The opening meeting should conclude around 6:00 pm, which will still give you plenty of daylight to set up your tent and sleeping bag if you haven't already, get dinner, get any last minute mechanical work done on your bike, and get ready for the ride the next day.

Though very unlikely it is possible that our transportation service from Prairie du Chien to Phelps will not arrive in Phelps or be able to begin the main check in and opening meeting by 5:00 pm. If this happens we will begin the main check in and opening meeting very shortly after the transportation service arrives in Phelps.

We will not offer any on road support services on Saturday. Our first day of supported cycling will be on Sunday.

Phelps to Tomahawk Century Option
On Day 1 (Sunday morning), riders will have the option to complete a century ride (100 miles). You'll begin by heading north out of Phelps, cross the Wisconsin-Michigan state line, and continue a few miles into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula before turning around in Land O' Lakes and following the same route back. Along the way you’ll pass Lac Vieux Desert lake, the headwaters of the Wisconsin River. After returning to the main lodging site in Phelps, you’ll find a staffed rest stop waiting for you.

From there, you’ll continue by following the base route from Phelps to Tomahawk. Completing the century option means you can proudly say you biked not only the full length of the Wisconsin River, but also across the entire state of Wisconsin.

All century riders must depart Phelps at the route opening time of 6:30 am due to manpower, vehicle, and route-timing constraints.
