Next Month...
Upcoming in the September 2008 issue of Silent Sports:
In the run-up to the 26th annual Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival, September 12-14, the magazine celebrates the event and the year-round mecca for mountain biking the Cable-Hayward area has
become.
First, columnist Mark Parman salutes the democratic nature of the Chequamegon 40, won by Tour de France champion Greg Lemond as well as singlespeed bombers while its remained open to bikers
with racks and kickstands.
Eva Apelqvist then profiles John Leighton, a retired attorney and builder of challenging singletrack between Cable and Clam Lake in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
Steve Morales announces the opening of the Makwa Trail, the northern leg of an extensive trail system the Chequamegon Area Mountain Biking Association has spent three years creating near
Hayward.
Hank Deutsch reports on the next generation of mountain bikers learning riding and trail building skills at Camp Bulldog in southwestern Ferryville, Wisconsin.
The bicycling coverage moves to roads with long trip diaries from Jane Stoltz on the U.P.'s Keweenaw Peninsula; Charles Frisk on another RAGBRAI ride; Charles McKelvy combing is riding with
birding; and James Sajdak following the Illinois-Michigan Canal.
Jerry Harpt's kayaking group requires rescue from the wild waters on the north side of Lake Superior. And Jay Thurston survives his third canoe trip down the entire 436-mile Wisconsin River.
You'll find all this – plus the September, October and November event listings – and much more in the next issue of Silent Sports.
