CAMP THIRD ANNUAL ICE S’MORE
CAMP THIRD ANNUAL ICE S’MORE - GOVERNOR DODGE STATE PARK, WI, JANUARY 18-19, 2025
WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE?
Join us for a quick overnight winter camping trip in Wisconsin’s Winter Wonderland on January 18-19, at Governor Dodge State Park. This State Park traditionally plows a few of its campsites for the Winter, and that’s where we will camp. Yes, in January. Are we crazy? No (ok, maybe).
Camping in the winter is not impossible, but it comes with its risks. You have to have the right sleeping bag, the right sleeping pad, and a lot of base layers. Depending on the temperature, it may be very pleasant, or it may be a no go. We will watch the weather and see how it is. But if you come, come prepared! We will share well in advance a wealth of material for you to read on. But this is a nice article to start with.
We will drive to Governor Dodge’s State Park on Saturday morning, build our tents, build a beautiful fire, and spend the day outdoors enjoying the Winter Wonderland. We will cook great warm food and tell each other how silly we are or how great we are, it will all depend - and bring your snowshoes for a trek to Stephens Falls, where we will watch ice climbers climbing the frozen cascade.
If you are interested but don’t have enough winter camping gear, send us a message - you can borrow some of our gear.
THE COST OF THIS EVENT IS $10 PER PERSON.

Although riding (paved or unpaved) is our primary focus, nothing prevents you from joining with your car and focus on exploring the park’s desert and the many attractions the area has to offer, including historical towns, hot springs and, why not, crossing the border to Mexico. The weather towards the end of February will be warm during the day and chill at night.

Campground amenities include a shower building, flush and vault toilets, a dump station and a playground area.
This is a PAVED event. However, depending on the weather, the park’s off road area MAY or MAY NOT be open to the public. If it is open, nothing stops you from going for a couple of laps to take the dust off your off road capabilities, if you want.

CAMP TSD Rally
CAMP TSD RALLY - SUNDAY, MAY 11, 2025
Join us for our very first TSD Rally. What is a TSD Rally? TSD stands for “time-speed-distance.” TSD rally is a precision-based competition where a driver (or in our case a motorcyclist) must stay on a specific route over many miles and go through checkpoints at specific times. It is not about going as fast as you can, it’s about arriving to a precise location as accurately as possible and within a specific time. If you go too fast or too slow you are penalised equally. This event will be held on public roads, in the Drifltess area. More information will be realeased in January 2025, when you will also be able to sign up.
In the meantime, a few key things:
This event is NOT a race - it will be held on public roads, and it doesn’t require speeding. If anything, speeding is guaranteed to make you lose.
This event is open to any motorcycle, as long as it is street legal. Scooters are also welcome.
This event will be held on PAVED roads.
This event will take place on Sunday May 11, 2025. No overnight travels are required, if you live in the Midwest, but you will have the option to stay at a nearby hotel if you prefer.
The Rally will last around 3 hours, and it will be followed by a lunch.
How A TSD Rally Works
The rally organizers, sometimes called rally masters, create a route then pre-run it keeping track of mileage. They determine where checkpoints are, and how long it should take (and the distance) between them. This route, as run by the rally master, is the car-zero time (CZT). This is the official time, speed, and distance for the rally. The whole event is based on this.
Entrants will be given a route book with instructions that are followed chronologically. Alongside this will be odometer readings and designated speeds. The instructions provide a variety of information from where to turn, signs to observe, and hazards to avoid.
All info from here.
2025 CAMP Wisconsin Adventure Ride
CAMP TRANS WISCONSIN ADVENTURE RIDE, MAY 22-27, 2025
WHAT, WHEN & WHERE
CAMP 2025 Wisconsin Adventure Ride will take place on May 22-27.
The Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail is a 650 mile route starting in Galena, IL, and ending at Lake Superior, near the town of Cornucopia, WI. The route is a patchwork of paved roads, forest roads, deep gravel and sandy roads, taking you through the Northern Woods. Exhaustive info on the route is available here, along with answers to many common questions about the route. GPS files for download are available here.
This route is ideal both for those who are just dipping their toes into off roading, and for those with more experience. This is the perfect shakedown to test your skills and your gear before you join us for our BDR rides.
A riders pack with a day to day itinerary, GPX tracks, essential information and more will be sent to all participants.
WHAT’S THE PLAN?
We will be camping 5 nights, in different locations (State parks, commercial campgrounds, national forests). We will be carrying all our gear on our motorcycle. There is no support vehicle.
This is our draft itinerary:
Thursday, May 22: Arrival Day at starting point, communicated to all participants.
Friday, May 23: Paved and unpaved roads through Southern Wisconsin and Iowa. Our Basecamp will be in the Wildcat Mountain State Park, WI. Mileage: 150
Saturday, May 24: mostly off road riding, with a lot of gravel, some sand and few single tracks. Camping in the Black River Falls Forest. Mileage: 100.
Sunday, May 25: Paved and unpaved, mostly off road. Camping by the Black Lake, in the Chequamegon National Forest. Mileage: 150.
Monday, May 26: deep sand is waiting for us for our last day. Lunch at the Delta Diner, and final camping day on the shores of Lake Superior, in Cornucopia, WI. Mileage:150.
Tuesday, May 27: you ride home or continue wherever you want to go!
WHAT BIKE SHOULD YOU RIDE?
You must bring a dual sport/adventure motorcycle for this ride. All motorcycles need to be street legal, and they need to have a Wisconsin special pass (information will be emailed to all participants on how to get that pass).
The choice of tires is up to you, but having ridden the TWAT a few times, I can tell you that off road tires are a cheap insurance against falls. Personally I recommend 50/50 tires (i.e. designed for 50% off road use and 50% paved use). You won’t need them all the time, but when you need them, in the Northern Section, you will be very happy to have them.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The ride costs $250 per rider. This fee includes camping five nights in State Parks, National forests and Commercial campgrounds; dinner on Friday night (our second night); t-shirts; info pack with day to day itinerary and information.
Please note that this ride is open to CAMP members only. Not a member? Just add your membership at check out and you are good to go.

Almost every section includes some moderately technical riding, as the remote two-track flows through regions of vast high-desert, short-grass prairies, and alpine climates. You will experience expansive views from the summit of two different 11,000-foot mountains, cross two major rim escarpments and pass through many other seldom visited areas and historic mining towns. This is the most remote BDR, so plan ahead and be prepared to have a true backcountry adventure.

The name of this S’more says it all: this is dedicated to all of us who love Fall colors. If you've been lucky enough to experience a peak Fall Foliage in Vermont, you might know what's in store - but if this is your first Autumn Adventure, prepare yourself for sensory overload because Fall in Vermont isn't just a season, it's an event!

To make things even better, the riding in this area is spectacular!

The park is a hub for the many miles of trails in Groton State Forest. The rocky, tree covered hillsides were originally cloaked with white pine, spruce, hemlock, beech, maple and birch. These were initially logged by local farmers for lumber, fuel and potash. The logging industry was large-scale for almost 100 years while the railroad was operating.
Although this will be a tent camping event, we have booked so called “lean to” structures. These are shelters where you can pitch your tent OR use as a community area to store gear and protect yourself from the elements, while pitching your tent outside. Showers, water, brick made grills are all available.

The Lake Michigan Circle Tour was part of a plan that began in 1985 and included circle tours around all the Great Lakes. It was the brainchild of Jack Morgan, who worked for the Michigan Department of Transportation. In 1987, the governors of Michigan and Indiana struck a deal and the Great Lakes Circle Tour was finalized in November 1988. In 1998, signs were posted throughout the route, covering 1100 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline.
We will send every attendants plenty of information, the GPX files and everything you need to know about the ride.

We will be camping every night in a different place. Our first night, Friday August 30, will be spent in Northern Wisconsin, so that folks from different parts of the country can all convene there. We will then continue north, spending also two nights on Lake Superior, where you will have a chance to explore Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The last day, September 4, will be devoted to riding back to our respective homes.

CAMP Wisconsin Adventure Ride
WHAT, WHEN & WHERE
CAMP Trans Wisconsin Adventure Ride will take place on May 22-27, 2024. This is the ONLY Trans Wisconsin Ride planned for 2024.
The Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail is a 650 mile route starting in Galena, IL, and ending at Lake Superior, near the town of Cornucopia, WI. The route is a patchwork of paved roads, forest roads, deep gravel and sandy roads, taking you through the Northern Woods. Exhaustive info on the route is available here, along with answers to many common questions about the route. GPS files for download are available here.
This route is ideal both for those who are just dipping their toes into off roading, and for those with more experience. This is the perfect shakedown to test your skills and your gear before you join us for our South Dakota BDR X ride, or Colorado BDR or Mid Atlantic BDR.
WHAT’S THE PLAN?
We will be camping 5 nights, in different locations (State parks, commercial campgrounds, national forests). We will be carrying all our gear on our motorcycle. There is no support vehicle.
This is our draft itinerary:
Wednesday, May 22: Arrival Day. Welcome dinner cooked for us at CAMP. Riders meeting.
Thursday, May 23: Paved and unpaved roads through Southern Wisconsin and Iowa. Our Basecamp will be in the Wildcat Mountain State Park, WI. Mileage: 150
Friday, May 24: mostly off road riding, with a lot of gravel, some sand and few single tracks. Camping in the Black River Falls Forest. Mileage: 100.
Saturday, May 25: Paved and unpaved, mostly off road. Camping by the Black Lake, in the Chequamegon National Forest. Mileage: 150.
Sunday, May 26: deep sand is waiting for us for our last day. Lunch at the Delta Diner, and final camping day on the shores of Lake Superior, in Cornucopia, WI. Mileage:150.
Monday, May 27: you ride home or continue wherever you want to go!
WHAT BIKE SHOULD YOU RIDE?
You must bring a dual sport/adventure motorcycle for this ride. All motorcycles need to be street legal, and they need to have a Wisconsin special pass (information will be emailed to all participants on how to get that pass).
The choice of tires is up to you, but having ridden the TWAT a few times, I can tell you that off road tires are a cheap insurance against falls. Personally I recommend 50/50 tires (i.e. designed for 50% off road use and 50% paved use). You won’t need them all the time, but when you need them, in the Northern Section, you will be very happy to have them.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The ride costs $190 per rider. This fee includes camping five nights in State Parks, National forests and Commercial campgrounds; welcome dinner on the first night; t-shirts; info pack with day to day itinerary and information.
Depending on the number of riders involved, we will split the group on the basis of pace/skills. Please note: this ride will take place if there are AT LEAST 7 riders signed up.
Please note that this ride is open to CAMP members only. Not a member? Just add your membership at check out and you are good to go.

May BOOKCLUB: Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance
CAMP MAY BOOKCLUB: Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance
Meet us for our bookclub meeting on Sunday, May 12, 11am at Rivers and Road Cafe in Chicago to discuss our book of the month. This cafe is national parks themed and offers coffees, teas, pastries and a light lunch. Check them out here.
This month we are reading Zen and the Art of motorcycle maintenance. Sign up on meetup or send an email to info@motocamping.club to confirm you are coming. You don’t need to be a CAMP member to attend the bookclub.
Pirsig wrote this book exactly 50 years ago, and although this is mentioned often as a must read in the motorcycle community, once you read it you realize that it has very little to do with motorcycle maintenance, but more about a definition of morals and what's good and bad and how to discern it. More info here.
CAMP Bookclub meets to discuss books that are motorcycle and outdoor related. You don't need to be a member of CAMP - The Motocamping Club to attend the bookclub. Please come with ideas for next month's book!

CAMP WINTER S’MORE 2024
CAMP WINTER S’MORE 2024 - GRANITE PEAK, WI, FEBRUARY 9-11
WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE?
Join us for CAMP annual Winter S'more, at Granite Peak, in Wasau, WI, a four hours drive from Chicago (227200 Snowbird Ave, Wausau, WI 54401). This ski area has more than 70 runs, 6 terrain parks and - at least by Midwestern standards - decently long slopes, some of them shy of a mile. Plenty of green slopes for newbies, plenty of blue and plenty of black slopes too. Skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing available.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST AND HOW DO I PAY?
This event is “pay as you go”, i.e. you make all reservations and bookings for your lodging and your lift tickets by yourself. YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A CAMP MEMBER TO JOIN THIS EVENT. Just come ski with us!
However, we please ask you to let us know if you are coming - just add this s’more to the cart and check out as if you were paying for it. The price is zero, but this will give us an idea of how many are coming. Alternatively just drop us an email. We are organizing dinners for our group on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 so we need to have an idea of how big the group is going to be!
Lodging: unlike other ski resorts, Granite Peak does not have its own hotel, but it works with many hotels in the area, with special rates. You can see (and book) the hotels at a discounted rate HERE. Some of them are less than a mile from the ski area, some of them are a little further away or in Wasau proper, but still only 5-6 miles away. Rates start from $80ish per night per room (2 people) at the Super 8 and La Quinta, all the way up to $200 plus at the Hilton and everything in between. Please book whatever hotel you want, either from that list or anywhere else.
Ski pass: The earlier in advance you buy your ski pass here, the more you will save. If you are coming with a kid, look at the "combo" options, as they are cheaper. Please take note of their cancellation policy. Please book your lift ticket asap, because we have seen them close ticket sales for dates that are too busy/crowded.
Ski, snowboard, boots and helmets rental, are all available. You can book it all online when you buy your tickets. Please note that I have an extra snowboard to lend you, if you want (a 158 Burton Blunt - first come, first served). If other members have equipment to lend, please let me know.
Lessons: lessons of several types are available: group, private, semi private (up to 4). I know there are a few beginners who were interested in joining, and you could pool in to take a semi private lesson.
X-country skiing and Snowshoeing: the Southern part of the same mountain hosting the ski resort hosts Mountain Rib State Park, which has plenty of snowshoe trails. You can read about your options here, or do a google search. If you are into Xcountry skiing, there are many trails at the adjacent Nine Mile Forest Recreation area. You can read about them here.

CAMP SECOND ANNUAL ICE S’MORE
CAMP SECOND ANNUAL ICE S’MORE - GOVERNOR DODGE STATE PARK, WI, JANUARY 27-28, 2024
WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE?
Join us for a quick overnight winter camping trip in Wisconsin’s Winter Wonderland on January 27-28, at Governor Dodge State Park. This State Park traditionally plows a few of its campsites for the Winter, and that’s where we will camp. Yes, in January. Are we crazy? No (ok, maybe).
Camping in the winter is not impossible, but it comes with its risks. You have to have the right sleeping bag, the right sleeping pad, and a lot of base layers. Depending on the temperature, it may be very pleasant, or it may be a no go. We will watch the weather and see how it is. But if you come, come prepared! We will share well in advance a wealth of material for you to read on. But this is a nice article to start with.
We will drive to Governor Dodge’s State Park on Saturday morning, build our tents, build a beautiful fire, and spend the day outdoors enjoying the Winter Wonderland. We will cook great warm food and tell each other how silly we are or how great we are, it will all depend - and bring your snowshoes for a trek to Stephens Falls, where we will watch ice climbers climbing the frozen cascade.
If you are interested but don’t have enough winter camping gear, send us a message - you can borrow some of our gear.
THE COST OF THIS EVENT IS $10 PER PERSON.
