🚲🛶 THE LIL’ DRIFTY RETURNS • AUGUST 6–9, 2026 🏕️The Lil’ Drifty is a 3-day bike, kayak, and camp adventure through Wisconsin’s beautiful Driftless Region. It’s less of a race and more about embracing the challenge, exploring off the beaten path, and making questionable decisions with really great people.
Ride scenic backroads from Madison toward Sauk City, paddle the Wisconsin River, camp under the stars, stop at hidden gems along the route, and finish the weekend at DriftyFest at Working Draft Beer Company.
Expect:
🍻 Small town bars & breweries
🛶 River miles + bike miles
🏕️ Camping & campfires
🌄 Incredible Driftless views
🚲 A choose-your-own-adventure vibe
🤝 An amazing community of riders
This event is designed to be challenging but approachable. Ride hard, ride casual, stop for a beer, jump in the river, take too many photos - there’s no “right” way to Drifty.
Even better? 100% of event profits support Adaptive Adventures, helping expand access to outdoor recreation opportunities for individuals with physical disabilities.
Whether you’re here for the miles, the scenery, the camaraderie, or the cold beer at the finish line… this weekend is one you won’t forget.
