Proceeds from the event support GHTF’s mission to develop and support a system of family-friendly biking and walking trails in eastern Vilas County. Thanks in large part to Ride with Leinie, GHTF has contributed more than $25,000 toward maintaining the Conover-Phelps Trail over the past three years. Current projects include extending the Conover-Phelps Trail two miles to Torch Lake County Park; developing the River Trail connecting Eagle River and St. Germain; and constructing a safer Highway 45 crossing in downtown Eagle River. 

Friends, family members, and other non-riders are welcome to join the post-ride festivities at Conover Town Park beginning at 11:30 am. Meal and beverage tickets will be available for purchase with cash at the event.
