SLIMEY CRUD RUN
Sunday, Oct 1
To top off your weekend, we encourage you to stop
at the Slimey Crud Run on Sunday.
The SLIMEY CRUD RUN should be on every
motorcyclist’s “Bucket List.”
Peter Egan once
referred to it as a bunch of guys with café racers
going for a little ride. But it’s more than that. Nostalgia, thumpers, and café fairings rule the day; with
shell helmets, worn-out leather jackets, and goggles
worn by young riders who were born too-late for the
first go-round of these machines.

BMW MOA Regional Event ~ TOMAH, WISCONSIN
September 29—October 1, 2011
Join us for one of THREE extraordinary rides — or choose your own itinerary!
The Off-Road Adventure
(Entry Level)
Sport Bike riders Nirvana
Local riders will tell you: This area is the “east Tennessee of the
upper Midwest.” There are so many curves, twists, coulees and
hollars that you'd swear you are in West Virginia.
And the roads… Oh! The roads!
Taking Hwy 108 north
out of West Salem, we’ll
ride our own little bit of a
dragon, leading up to
and through the
Mindoro Cut. The Cut
was hand dug through
the soft sandstone, 75
feet deep and 25
feet wide.
You’re going to want to ride this road twice.
Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail
This ride is for the novice GS rider who wants to try his or
her skills at the off-road riding scene. Several experienced off-road riders will guide this ride, and offer suggestions in the more challenging areas.
Cranberry Harvest
& Amish Community Tours
Cashton, WI - An Old Order Amish Community
For those who would prefer a relaxing ride to enjoy the
autumn foliage and the character of this area, we invite
you to join us for this ride. Take a beautiful ride back in
time, and visit the shops and cheese factory in Cashton,
Wisconsin. We might catch the scent of narrow-waisted
bundles of hay, and hear the clop, clop, clop of horsedrawn buggies as they pass on the road.
We will visit the Cheese factory where 130,000 pounds
of milk from 270 local Amish farmers is collected and
processed daily.
Following that, if we have time, we will ride to Wildcat Mountain where the ridges, switchbacks, and tight curves can challenge even the most experienced motorcyclists. Located in the
hilly, driftless area of Wisconsin, the views will make you want
to stop to enjoy the vistas as you crest the tops of the ridges.
But the next curve always beckons you to tuck it in & ‘Ride it like
you stole it.’
The “Experienced” Adventure Riders will enjoy the quiet
serenity of this trail, and may be able to find a few
places to get into trouble along the way if they want.
The route is primarily gravel roads & a few paved roads,
through some of the scenic hills of Wisconsin. There
may be some water crossings and a few farmer-roads,
but this promises to be a fun day filled with quiet “roadsless-traveled.”
After sampling true Wisconsin cheeses made in the old
world tradition, we will continue on to the shops in the
“Down-the-Road” settlement, to enjoy old fashioned root
beer floats made with hand cranked ice cream, while
appreciating the craftsmanship of the Amish artisans.
Ride will be mapped out beforehand, and riders will receive a brief training session prior to the start.
The autumn foliage should add to the enjoyment.
