The 2nd Annual Worst Ride Ever

This is a mixed-surface, off-road/on-road adventure that weaves all around Madison—taking place in the very month when most people insist bikes should stay indoors.

Expect a little bit of everything: in-town MTB trails, bike paths, residential neighborhoods, and unexpected connectors that test your skills and your grit. The conditions your friends use as excuses this time of year? Those are the highlights.

Too cold. Hands frozen. Bike filthy. Face numb.
Exactly. That’s the point.

This ride is about embracing the worst conditions and turning them into the most memorable ride of the year. Show up as you are, ride through it together, and earn the post-ride warmth.

Start: Brittingham Park ( Roll out at 10am)
End: Mansion Hill Inn (snacks and a warm beverage provided)

Bike Types:
MTB, Fat Bike, Gravel/Cyclocross, or a wider-tired city bike

What to Bring:
Hydration
Flat kit
Lights
Helmet
Dress for cold, wet, and variable conditions

This is not a ride for perfection—it's a ride for stories.
