RIDE DESCRIPTION

Experience the thrill of the Dairyland Dare Bike Ride, set in the breathtaking hills of southwest Wisconsin!

Nestled in land untouched by glacial flattening during the last ice age, Dairyland Dare is home to some of the most intense hills in the Midwest, steep forested ridges, deeply carved river valleys, and unforgettable climbs.

Choose your challenge: 50K, 100K, 150K, or 200K. Road bikes, tri-bikes, and e-bikes are all welcome (e-bikes must follow aid station rules).

Riders who embark on this Gran Fondo will climb through the historic streets of Mineral Point, WI, and across the scenic countryside of Iowa County as they tackle their chosen distance before the sun goes down.

With an incredible team of community volunteers, our support is unmatched. Rest stops are fully stocked with more food and sports drink than you’ll ever need, and on-course support is always close by. Mechanical support is available at rest stops 3/4 and 6, with additional roaming assistance throughout the course.

And this year, we’re taking things up a notch.

We’re making exciting improvements to elevate your Dairyland Dare experience—and we can’t wait to share more soon!

Join us at the post-ride celebration for music, laughs, and a hearty meal that will leave you fully refueled.
