TRANS WISCONSIN ADVENTURE TRAIL (TWAT) RUN
June 24 @ 8:00 am - June 27 @ 5:00 pm
Travel Dates – 06/24/24 – 06/27/24
The idea around this ride is to offer anyone from an experienced rider to a beginner to come along on a No Reservations ride. Just like I would do for a Back Country Discovery Route ride (BDR). We will all start at the beginning Monday morning (South West corner of WI), Ride as a group north along the route. Deal with challenges together and ride at a safe pace. We might not make it the entire way, but that happens. I’m not going to push to make deadlines with preset timelines. If riders are struggling we will offer optional routes with Coaches to help get around challenging sections. You are free to leave anytime you wish. If you decide to run out a head, faster than the group, I consider that as you are on your own and that is OK.
We are not charging for this ride, your support by taking our classes is appreciated.. Completion of Level 2 course is a prerequisite for this event.
WHY LEVEL 2? We want you to be comfortable and confident on your moto.
You will need a Wisconsin Trails Pass – https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/OHM
