Bikers have the opportunity to challenge themselves and experience the beautiful Wood County countryside when the Cranberry Bike Tour returns, supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Marshfield supporting families affected by serious illness.
Taking place September 16, the tour isn’t a race but a chance to go longer distances with additional support. Rest stops with snacks and refreshment are placed along the route, and a full lunch is served at the end of the ride. The $30 cost includes a t-shirt, lunch and refreshments.
The race begins this year in conjunction with Maple Fall Fest, a festival taking place at Wildwood Park. Bikers check-in at UW-Stevens Point at Marshfield (UW-Marshfield/Wood County) and can choose a 20, 64, 40, or 100-mile route. Routes are marked by The Sports Den and maps are given at check-in. This year, the routes can be viewed on the Strava app.
Register at http://rmhc-marshfield.org/ and view the routes. Those above twenty take riders through North Wood County Park. Same-day registration is available.
