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

Mary Jo and her staff at Around Wisconsin Bicycle Tours offer an excellent product. I've done half a dozen supported tours over the last few years (except 2020) and this was a small group which allowed more personalized support, nice hotels and great fun. Their "Northern Woods and Waters" was just as advertised. We had very pleasant August weather, no rain and some of the most well-paved, low traffic roads I've ever ridden on. This is not a high mileage, strut your stuff ride but if you want a laid back tour with bakeries, beer and ice cream stops along the way I couldn't recommend it more. Great couples ride too!

Mark from Michigan – 2022

Really enjoyed the tour. The scenery was great, with so many bike paths, great bike trails next to busier roads! The staff was great…saw them several times on the route looking for anyone that might have troubles…they were even able to SAG us once when we got lost (MJ was VERY quick to answer my phone call for help!)! lodging and meals were well organized. I liked the small group atmosphere-much easier to get to know the other riders. Thanks Mary Jo and staff for a great week! ”

Beth from Ohio – 2022

We had a great time on the Northern Woods and Waters Tour last week. The food, accommodation, roads, routes, and yes, even the weather, were wonderful. We marveled at your ability to guide us over nearly flawless roads. We enjoyed Captain Steve’s pirate cruise where we saw two eagles and three eagle’s nest. The gathering at the Minocqua Brewery on the last night was especially fun.

Rick from Wisconsin

We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the rolling hills on the Wisconsin backroads. It was a good route. The food was great and we enjoyed getting to know lots of adventurous people. In appreciation, “
