Gordon Pine Barrens 50

In front of the fireplace on Saturday night our family was a buzz about our experiences at Ride the Divide. Many discussions on what went well, what needs some tweaking, and most often about the "vibe" our riders brought to the event. Your support, enthusiasm and fellowship toward each other and ride staff was unsurpassed. What a kind generous group of people, we certainly look forward to the planning and development of the Douglas Divide for years to come.

Thank you everyone for coming out. We can’t wait to see you next year!

We had a great time riding the Divide course this weekend before the upcoming ride on October 17th.

We look forward to having you on the 100k celebratory ride next weekend; we’re projected to have good weather and the gravel is looking fantastic.

Please note that riders will have the option to have a drop bag at mile 19 and mile 36. We’d recommend bringing a bag that’s easy to pick out of a crowd!

For information on the ride, please refer to the link and screenshots in the comments.

Come together and ride the Divide!” You are invited to ride the inaugural planning year with us. We are looking at a highly organized “Group Ride” that will build interest and give us feedback for becoming a “race” in October of 2027. The
100K Douglas Divide gravel route has been ridden, explored, and mapped over the past several years. The route is safe, remote, and rustic. In our planning and riding conversations, we know the Douglas Divide is and will be an amazing experience for everyone.

The ride will depart and conclude at the Douglas County Bird Sanctuary that is located within minutes of Hwy 53 between Solon Springs and Gordon WI. The Bird Sanctuary has water, toilets, and good parking. When you complete your
ride there will be food available on site (Brats, Baked Beans) for riders andfamilies with a suggested donation.

NOTE: The ride will be limited to the first 50 riders that RSVP - [email protected]

We break down the similarities, differences, and what it could mean for the future of gravel in the region.
