Overview
The Wright Stuff Century is a supported cycling event in Dane County, Wisconsin and the signature event of the BBC. Now in its 49th year, the ride embodies the spirit of the renowned Driftless region with challenging climbs, beautiful views and quiet country roads, including Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin and Unity Chapel.
This year we have again partnered with Bikes for Kids, Wisconsin. The club will make a donation to help this great organization pursue its mission of creating equitable access to bicycles in Dane County and beyond. You can also donate time or money directly to them via their website. If you are interested in riding, read on.
