Bong State Recreatinal Area near Brighton, WI and this Year, I tried Kettle Moraine SF- Southern Unit, Ottawa Lake Recreational Area, just south of Dousman, WI.

Comment by Cyclist1969 on July 22, 2011 at 12:00pm: I understand, I've hiked n camped. I've motorcycle & auto camped. Never bicycled n camped.

Something, I would like to do. Where does this group like to go?

Comment by igz on July 22, 2011 at 9:07am: cyclo'69, we have found that slingshotting outside of the 50 mile radius is the way to go to try to get to more remote, or more aptly, places we havent been a millions times already.

Comment by Cyclist1969 on July 15, 2011 at 4:28pm: Hey All, I'm new to this group and i was wondering what are the best places to bike/camp within 50miles of the city? I was thinking about going sometime in the late summer/fall. I know there is Blackwell, just of the IPP. I've seen some places on the I&M canal trail.

What else?

Comment by BalloonBiker on July 7, 2011 at 9:49am: I have reservations for August 6th at the Indiana dunes state park. I've bumped up the discussion thread.

Comment by Adam "Cezar" Jenkins on July 7, 2011 at 9:15am: Anyone planning another trip? I've never been to the dunes before. I wasn't able to make the last trip. The idea of not going bike camping this year kinda bums me out.

Comment by igz on July 5, 2011 at 5:36pm: New Glarus Oktoberfest II event is up. Some details are still being finalized. Mark your calendars!

Comment by Laura on June 25, 2011 at 7:12am: Everyone get ready!!! When Iggi and I get back from vacation the planning for NEW GLARUS OKTOBERFEST begins!!!!! Get ready!
