About the event

Thank you for your interest in the InSayner Mountain Bike Race a fund-raising event for the Musky Mountain Bike Trails.

NOTE: The Long Race Course has been cancelled due to not enough interest. However, the long race will still be run as a double lap of the short course. And luck you, because you get to climb up Musky Mountain twice, and you get to cross the river twice!

Race Day Details

8:00 AM - 9:15 AM Big Pick Up/Checkin/Registration9:15 AM - Racer/Rider Meeting.9:30 AM - Long Race Start.10:00 AM - Short Race Start.10:05 AM - No-See-Um Family Ride Start.1:30 PM - Awards and Raffles.

The InSayner takes place in the depths of Northern Wisconsin's beautiful Northern Highland American Legion State Forest and there are 2 routes available to racers.

No-See-Um Ride
A much shorter ride suitable for kids and families. But this is the InSayner, so there is definitely some adventure on the course. You get to cross a bridge over Plumb Creek on the way out, and on the way back in, you get to cross Plum Creek again - this time without a bridge.

But don't worry. We will have people at the crossing to help anyone No-See-Um Riders who wants or needs it.

If you are a InSayner racer, we can help you also. But it will cost you an extra $50. Just kidding. You don't get any help!

The  Short Race (highly recommended), the brutal 23 mile backwoods biking adventure:

Ride snowmobile trails, sweet stretches of downhills, an old ski hill run, logging roads, gravel roads, a small stretch of blacktop, and a few other surprises that may dampen an average riders spirit. NOT YOU though!! 

The InSayner will be a challenging, but fun race that to the bitter end will throw you an occasional gut punch. But this is how legends are born! What kind of bike you ask? Ha Ha Ha Ha wouldn’t you like to know! But know this: one bike's advantage won’t last forever. 

The race starts in the town of Sayner at the Community Center and travels down snowmobile trails to Musky Mountain. The route continues down Plum Vitae Road to another snowmobile trail. This hits Vandercook road a few times before continuing to Klondike Road and on to Ross Lake Road before following snowmobile trails back to the finish.


The Long Race (and recommended only for those who are InSayne!), the savage, barbaric 50+ mile torture on a bike, as described here by race directors Mike and Danny:

The eBike Race will follow the same route as the Long Race. So, that's at least 50 miles! Do you think you and your eBike will be up to the challenge? Well, before you get too excited, make sure you understand our rules for eBikes.

eBike must be class 1, peddle assist (no throttles).As class 1, bikes should not exceed 20mph.Bikers are allowed to carry one extra battery.eBike racers will start first, and will not be racing against traditional (analog) mountain bikes.

If this looks good to you, we would be happy to take your money. After all, it's a fund raiser for building mountain bike trails at Musky Mountain!

Oh, you’re one of THOSE people!  The 25ish isn’t enough?  You think you're better than that, don’t you?  Well, I’m not holding my breath.  Pull up your britches, cuz this isn’t your daddies after dinner ride!! 

Then adventure is what you'll get, so saddle up, you're headed in deep!  And don’t count on any race support! You had the chance to sign up for the short race, the 25ish.  Maybe you should re-think your decision, buttercup? 

Is something watching you, you wonder? As you struggle your way through the woods? Oh yes. Make no mistake about it. Don’t ask us what it is though. We do not speak its name.  Just hammer those hills and don’t get off your bike because it can sense fear - shed a tear and it’s over.  You best not even think about giving up!

People say whatever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. Nope. That doesn’t apply here.  Have you heard about Suicide Hill?  Most people descend it...you’re a “Privileged Rider” though, and you get to go UP it!  Mash those pedals and quit yer whining because this is NOT an all day event. YOU have a cut off to make, otherwise it’s black top for you!

You've been warned and you still didn’t listen.  I hope pain and agony is your forte!  If you don’t make it and cross over to the other side, say hello to my grandparents.  Remember, you chose this.  No cursing, and don’t forget to sign the waiver.

Yours truly, Danny and Mike O., The InSayner Race Directors, 2022
