It's looking that that park might have some involvement in the SSWC in '08.
Until then, there's some virtual riding here.

Bianchi looks cool. I actually had the opportunity to buy one of those used a few months ago and passed it up. Seeing it in action makes me kind of regret that decsion.

Yeah, sweet pics. Now I am really motivated to check out Skyline. I almost went there today but settled for Rockville with a buddy. November in Norcal.... the riding never ends here.

That's some of the best helmet cam action I've ever seen. Most of those videos are shot looking straight down, but that was awesome. Incredible trail.

I rode something thats not quite aesthetically similar but rail wise seems almost identical. I guess Wisconsin trails aren't THAT bad after all.

Yeah it was WAYY northern Wisconsin; was like a 5 hour drive to get to where we were staying and another 1/2 hour drive to where we biked. I also rode around in the national forest up there and that was pretty cool scenery; but nothing too thrilling.
I don't know if this fact is true or not, but I was told by some XC junkie who actually liked the more flat, agonizing bluff climbs that are in southern Wisco, but anyways he said that only Cali has more mapped trails then Wisco. I didn't know if it was true or not, but I do know Wisconsin takes pretty good care of there state parks and way up north it's just one huge forest basically.
