What is the Nicolet Hot Days?

Nicolet Hot Days Community Campout is an overnight self supported bikepacking group ride designed for all levels of bikepackers, veterans and those interested in being introduced to bikepacking with an emphasis on adventure.

Sign up for this event if you:

  • are not afraid to ride two tracks, ford a slow moving and waist deep river,

  • want to discover cool and remote places,

  • desire to camp at a remote spot on a river without amenities such as an outhouse,

  • can ride your bike loaded with all your gear for 40 miles a day,

  • like eating amazing food at local restaurants and bars, and

  • want to hang out with a fun group of like minded people.

The event's goal is to build a stronger bikepacking community by learning from each other and to empower riders by doing a few things that may feel intimidating. 

This event is capped at 15 people so sign up early and please sign up only if you fully intend on riding it! The plan is to stop at Old Town Hall for dinner and Sunset Bar for drinks.

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