General Information
Thank you for considering the Kickapoo BRAVE (Bluffs,
Rivers And Valleys Event) Ride, starting in Gays Mills, Wisconsin on
September 20. Gays Mills is located along the Kickapoo River in
Southwest Wisconsin, in the heart of the scenic Kickapoo Valley. The
ride will start
at 9 am from the Crawford County Fair Grounds, located just south of town at
17725 State Highway 131. Registration sign-in will begin at 7 am, where
registrants will be given t-shirts, dinner tickets, and gift bag. A
brief welcome/ orientation meeting will take place at 8:45. There will be a
mass start at 9 am, so please be on time.
Daycare
This will be a family-friendly event. The 4-H
Junior Leaders will provide daycare for children ages 2 through 8 at the
fairgrounds. Please indicate on your registration if you need daycare
services.
Routes
You will have a choice of routes, including 20, 45, 55,
and 80 miles, all beginning and ending in Gays Mills. The shorter
rides will stay closer to the river valley, while the longer rides will explore the
scenery and communities along the ridge. Ninety-five percent of the rural roads
are paved, but there are short stretches of gravel roads chosen for their
character of scenery that will be monitored for condition. For a detailed
map of each ride, please go to:
