Z's Fork Horners
N4291 Co Rd X
Gleason, WI 54435

WHAT’s it like?

You’ll ride through wilderness dirt roads of Lincoln, Langlade, and Oneida counties.  This a self-navigated, unsupported, old school free "group ride" so be prepared to support yourself. Use paper cue sheets, gpx, or your phone to navigate because the course is not marked. Like with any other training ride, you will be responsible for yourself and should not count on rescue from anyone.  You will be in bear and wolf territory most of the time.  Your phone will work most of the time.

The rides will start at 10AM from Z's Fork Horners on Highway X 2.5 miles south of Gleason, Wisconsin. Usually folks hang out following the event at the Z's Fork Horners afterwards.

This event is part of the Ironbear 1000 which highlights Wisconsin’s epic gravel.
