Part of CORBA’s mission is to grow the community of trail users through events. These events bring fun, challenging and entertaining ways to share in the community of trail users. Every user enjoys this community in their own way and we want to create opportunities for each of them. Whether you are a competitive racer, a volunteer, or someone who just likes to watch, we hope you find something you can be a part of.

Coon Fork 40
August 23, 2025
Traverse deep swaths of pine forests, classic Amish farm country, and picturesque Wisconsin waterways on beautiful gravel roads through Eau Claire and Clark County lands. Multiple distance options available. There is something for everyone.
Depending on which one you pick, you’ll see a mix of towering Wisconsin pines, waterways both big and small, and even a classic Amish farm or two. On everything from full-width gravel roads to narrow hidden paths (including a couple ATV trail segments), you’ll ride every color and type of gravel Wisconsin has to offer.
Whether you come for a race or a ride, and no matter what bike, you’ll enjoy a gravel party done right.
