Ride Across Wisconsin (RAW)

Ride Across Wisconsin 2025 is officially in the books, and what an incredible weekend it was!

Cyclists from all over the country and beyond came together to tackle distances from 13, 100 & 180 miles, journeying through scenic countryside & charming towns.  The ride was more than just miles—it was a celebration of community, endurance, and the power of two wheels, and we couldn’t have done it without the support from the City of Eau Claire, the Eau Claire community and Visit Eau Claire.

Along the way, riders were supported by some truly outstanding rest stops at Together Farms, Northwoods Brewpub, Dells Mill, Leinie’s, Barum Lutheran Church, and the Menomonie Depot. These locations were made extra special thanks to the incredible efforts of volunteer groups including Bike Chippewa, CORBA (Chippewa Off Road Bike Association), ECYC (Eau Claire Youth Cycling), the Valley Girls, the Optimist Club, Friends of the Red Cedar State Trail, and many generous local individuals who gave their time and energy to keep our riders fueled and encouraged. Mechanical support was top-notch this year thanks to the talented crews from Wheel & Sprocket, Compass Bike Lab, Stache Cycle & Adventure, Spring Street Sports, and Erik’s of Eau Claire. Safety and wellness on the route were ensured by the dedicated team at Wisconsin Bike Patrol, who provided top-tier medical support throughout the event and Chippewa Valleys Amateur Radio Club who provided communications throughout the day.

Behind the scenes and along the route, our amazing sponsors kept everyone nourished, hydrated, and smiling. Bill Berg was our Eau Claire connection who helped make the event extra special with his dedication and hard work while Tom Schuler worked his magic once again with route setting and rest stop prep.  Festival Foods donated water, Once Upon a Coconut supplied refreshing coconut water at the finish line, and Conagra came through with pudding cups for a sweet mid-ride pick-me-up. Silver Spring Foods provided mustard for Leinie’s brat cookout, while Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery shared their signature cheese curds. Pickle Juice came through with hydration support, Ross Street Roasting provided coffee packets for rider bags alongside Cure hydration, and Bobo’s donated PB&J sandwiches. The Menomonie Food Co-op, together with Icon Meats, supplied meat sticks, GU Energy gave us chews, GoMacro donated delicious bars, and Premium Waters kept everyone hydrated. Eau Claire Youth Cycling (ECYC) grilled up brats at the lunch stop, while The Brewing Projekt hosted packet pickup in their space and provided delicious seltzers along with Oliphant Brewing supporting the finish line celebration with beer, and Volume One generously provided warehouse space, advertising, and media coverage throughout the event. 

We were lucky to have our weekend captured beautifully by Megan Zabel Holmes Photography, Volume One and Measha Lea Photography, who documented the spirit and joy of the ride from start to finish. 

Thanks to every rider, volunteer, donor, sponsor, and supporter who played a part in making this year’s Ride Across Wisconsin such a memorable and meaningful experience. We’re already looking ahead to next year—stay tuned for our 2026 save-the-date.

Until then, thank you for riding with us, supporting our mission, and helping build a better, bike-friendly Wisconsin.

Fun, epic, hard – worth it!
