Welcome to our home area….we live in an area that needed to be shown off! Join us on Friday evening for a run if cycling is not your thing or just join us for dinner. There will be lodging options for FREE on Friday evening. If you would like to stay Saturday night there is always that option also. Dinner Friday evening is on us, as is breakfast on Saturday morning. All proceeds raised will be donated to Wisconsin Badger Camp. This event will happen sun, rain or snow!
This is an old school, grass roots bicycle race. There will be no course officials and minimal to no course markings. Cue sheets and gps files will be provided in advance. You will be responsible for yourself, what that looks like is up to you. This will be a long and hard day, please have a plan B arranged just in case.
Resurrecting the former La Crosse Gravel Classic (aka LNL, aka Skullsplitter) with some tweaks to the course to enhance it. My marketing guy said the name Skullsplitter was a liability, both in terms of attendance and insurance, so we’re calling it the La Crosse Spring Gravel Classic. Gravel in the heart of the driftless region!
