Chequamegon (pronounced Shwar’me-gan) is a 40 mi point-to-point mountain bike race that goes over grass fields, gravel roads, the Birkebeiner trail, forest and snowmobile trails. It starts at Hayward, WI and finishes at Cable, WI.

That alone sounds like a great race! But what makes it even more exciting is the number of racers. We are talking about over 2,000 racers that are lining up for this race. Let the pictures tell the story:

Gary, the race promoter, and his dedicated crew and volunteers made this race happen. Everything was perfectly organized, from the race package pick-up to the bag drop-off to a great atmosphere!
