The Birkie’s Epic Bike Fest is an exciting multiday offroad cycling festival with an incredible point to point singletrack mountain bike race from Hayward to Cable, WI, and an equally challenging gravel event. Ride one or ride them both! The ABSF is a non profit, so all proceeds go to developing trails in the Northwoods.

Since 2013, the Epic BIKE FEST has raised over $200,000 for MTB trails.

We rode the fastest, most intuitively laid out and rewarding single track I’ve raced in 15 years.
