Fat tire fanatics from throughout the state and beyond will descend on Madison, Saturday and Sunday, March 13-14, to kick off the new season at the 1999 Wisconsin Mountain Bike Conference at the Dane County Exposition Center near the Dane County Coliseum. Saturday morning will begin with a poker ride tour of the state capital, including rides along the lakeshores of Monona and Mendota, stops at local bike shops and two examples of mountain bike trails within the city. Rental bikes will be available and prizes will be awarded to winning poker hands. Sunday events include two distinct riding options in the Madison area. Novice riders can ramble through the farmlands southwest of Madison on the Military Ridge State Trail, while more experienced riders can test their skills on a private piece of technical singletrack just outside of town.
All rides are subject to weather permitting.
