Party with ‘Ride with Leinie’
CONVER – The Great Headwaters Trails organization invites everyone to the 13th annual “Ride with Leinie” fundraiser in Vilas County. The bicycle-focused event will take place Saturday, July 27 with all activities starting and ending at Conover Town Park, 4697 Park Circle, Conover.
The ride now attracts more than 300 riders each year. Participants may choose from a 20.4-mile trail ride led by Dick Leinenkugel on the C-P Trail from Conover to Phelps and back; a shorter 10.4-mile trail ride led by Dick’s daughter, Katie on the C-P Trail, and the 20-mile, 40-mile, and 62-mile road-ride routes.
The 62-mile ride, or Metric Century Ride, is new for 2024. Both the 40-mile and Metric Century Ride will take riders from Conover to Land O’ Lakes and Phelps, and back to Conover.
The after-ride party at Conover Town Park will feature a picnic style lunch, Leinenkugel Beer tasting, music, raffles, and an auction for unique items. Non-riders are invited to the luncheon (11:30 a.m. start) with ticket purchase.
Go to ghtrails.org to register and for more information. Funds from the event will go toward the enhancement and development of eastern Vilas County bike trails.
