WHAT’s TTT 6th edition?

This is the 6th edition of the challenging TTT, with additional shorter route options to encourage new gravel bike riders. The TTT stands for the start and end in Tomahawk, the climb to the highest point in Wisconsin at Timm’s Hill, in the 103 mile event and resupply in Tripoli (*not an option in 2023 due to the BP station burning down unless it’s rebuilt) for the 103 mile event.

This is an old school free gravel bike ride so be prepared to support yourself with whatever you can buy in Ogema, Tripoli (*not an option in 2023 due to the BP station burning down unless it’s rebuilt), and the Windmill. Use paper cue sheets, gpx below, or your phone to navigate because the course is not marked. You must register to be included in the results. This event is part of the Ironbear 1000 which highlights Wisconsin’s epic gravel.

The ride starts in Somo Area Recreation Arena (SARA) Park. SARA Park has showers and a beach so bring a towel. SARA Park has camping, more details here. All riders will check in at the Windmill "finish" on the way back then spin down the bike path back to SARA Park.
