April 27 is Celebrate Trails Day!
The national Rails-to-Trails Conservancy organizes Celebrate Trails Day!
the fourth Saturday of each April. Bike Fitchburg will join the fun with
a recreation station at the "Velo UnderRound" (junction of Badger and
Capital City State Trails and Southwest, Cannonball, and Military Ridge
Paths. Search for it on Facebook or Google Maps) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Stop by for non-alcoholic drinks from national sponsor Athletic Brewing,
snacks, bike maps, and information on Bike Fitchburg's advocacy for
better biking in the city!
The event is free and no registration is required, but you can find more
details and RSVP to our
Facebook event if you like.
Rides for Joe
In honor of our late, long-time director Joe Imilkowski, Bike Fitchburg, the Fitchburg Senior Center, and the City of Fitchburg Bicycle Committee
are proud to announce monthly, slow-roll Rides for Joe. We will begin
at 10 a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month May through October.
After quick bike and helmet checks and a brief educational topic, we'll
head out on slow rides around the Fitchburg system of multi-use paths,
generally avoiding traffic. These rides are free and oriented to seniors, but all are
welcome. You will need to register and bring your own helmet,
bike, and state trail pass.
Registration will be open in April.
¡Pick Me Up at the Border! 2024
We will start on Friday, September 20 at 6:30 pm (rolling out at 7 pm)
along the Badger State Trail in Fitchburg, WI 53719 at 6:30pm, rolling out at 7pm. The end time depends on your speed and the
distance choosen.
This is our signature event and the annual fund-raiser for Bike
Fitchburg, Inc. This is a
night ride to the Illinois border on
the Badger State Trail. Shorter distances are also offered. A $15 or
larger donation to Bike Fitchburg is requested at registration.
