What We're Doing
 

Oktoberfest Bike Ride is an organized ride through the glacial drumlins (look it up) of southern Wisconsin on Oct. 3. The goal is to raise funds for Tomorrow's Hope, which supports organizations that provide research, education, prevention and hospice care for those touched by Alzheimer’s, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and more in Southern Wisconsin.

Riders can choose to go 18, 26, 46, or 66 miles. The more people who support us, the farther we will ride. If you want us to go all the way, add your name to the list of supporters.

 Well, you've ridden more than me this week! How much will it take to get you to go all the way? I'll send in a donation online...[If we have only two supporters, I might head straight to the beer tent.]
