Our Story

Who We Are

Welcome to Around Wisconsin Bicycle Tours. The previous owners created unforgettable experiences for their many customers over the last several years and we are continuing this long- term tradition. Our family has resided in Northern Wisconsin for the past 35 years and is very familiar with the back roads and the many amenities available in small towns in Wisconsin. As well we have lived in Southeast and West
Central Wisconsin which allowed us to log thousands of miles in every corner of Wisconsin. Being long term cyclists, we have ridden in many day and multiday bicycle tours. We know what makes or breaks a great bicycle vacation, and we are putting our experience to work for you to create a fun, unforgettable trip! Our staff is committed to providing the highest level of support and fun.

A new tour was created for 2021, Escape to the North. It was a huge success in both 2021 and 2022. The Northwest part of Wisconsin has great cycling and this is one of few tours in the area. The 2022 Northern Woods and Waters Tour
proved to be once again a perfect combination of woods, lakes and backroads.
We are a proud member of the Bicycle Tour Network, Adventure Cycling Association, People for Bikes, Wisconsin Bicycle Federation and our local bike club, Antigo Bike and Ski Club.

Testimonials

What People are Saying

I highly recommend this bike tour. I’ve been on a lot of bike tours over the last 45 years. Very beautiful part of Wisconsin, low traffic county roads and bike trails. The accommodations were excellent and fun leader and staff to bike with.

Barry from Minnesota 2025

Wonderful support! Over and above on the snacks at the rest areas and the directions were fantastic. I highly recommend this tour. Mary Jo and staff (volunteers) were well organized, the roads were lightly traveled and the smoothest ones I've ever ridden! Great mix of roads and trails. ”

Nancy from Iowa 2025

Around Wisconsin Bicycling North Woods and Water Tour a truly amazing ride. Very well organized. I loved that they arranged dinner every night. On other tours we had to hunt down a place to eat on our own. The SAG support was spot on (always there if you needed them). I highly recommend this ride.

Theresa from Lincoln, NB – 2024

This is a very well-run bike tour in beautiful surroundings on low traffic country roads and also paved bike trails. Accommodations were excellent, food was great and lots of it. All breakfasts and dinners were provided along with great sag stops. This is an awesome tour. ”

Kay from Orangeville, PA -2024

Beautiful routes, low traffic roads, saw many lakes, deer, turkey, a hawk. Very attentive staff, great food, nice hotels, condos etc. Rides had staff riding, great rest stops, route markings, route maps, ride with GPS, white board info daily. Had a doc on staff that helped with a Heimlich maneuver. Staff even took some of us off route for an ice cream stop. Great trip that I highly recommend.

Gerald from Ankeny, IA – 2024

I do lots of bike tours this was the “gold standard” of trips. Small group, fantastic staff, great hotels, even better meals. Friendly helpful staff. Small bike group so you can take time to make new friends. I plan to do this one next year. Please join me. ”
