Select participants and date
The first hum comes not from the bikes but from the bay: a low, constant call of water against rock as you roll out of Juddville and into the wide sweep of Peninsula State Park. E-bikes make the hills feel like rolling conversation rather than a climb—a quiet, steady assist that lets you look up the whole time. Skyline Road unfurls along the ridge, and the wind off Green Bay nudges you toward every overlook. From the Sunset Trail the islands—Chambers, Horseshoe, Strawberry—sit like punctuation marks on the blue.

Adventure Tips
Helmet & fit check
Helmets are provided but always adjust straps and fit before rolling; a quick check reduces wobble on descents and rougher surfaces.
Hydrate for wind and sun
Wind off Green Bay dries you out faster than you think—carry at least 1 liter of water and rehydrate during stops at overlooks.
Practice e-bike basics
Spend 10–15 minutes getting comfortable with throttle and regenerative braking on a quiet stretch before hitting steeper sections.
Watch for mixed surfaces
Tour uses paved park roads and some crushed-stone sections—choose shoes with good grip and be ready to dismount briefly at scenic stops.
