The Wigwam Mountain Bike Challenge took place on October 7th. Of the many sporting events that Wigwam sponsors, this one takes place right here in our hometown of Sheboygan, WI.
You might be asking yourself: “Wisconsin has Mountains?” We don’t have mountains, but due to the glacial activity that created Lake Michigan and the other Great Lakes, we certainly have hilly and rocky terrain in parts.
This fall day felt more like a balmy summers day as temps reached well into the 80’s, thus making the Mountain Bike Challenge more than a mere challenge of overcoming the terrain.
Mountain Bikers come from all over the country to participate in this event. There are many different racing classes that range from beginners (Citizen), to advanced (Elite) riders. Within the levels of experience, riders are also sub-classified by age groups. The races then run the various experience levels at different times throughout the day, so the course does not become congested with a myriad of riders at various riding levels. There is also a kids course, which also runs races at various age group levels, making this event a fun day for the entire family.
