Many riders that will say a challenge ride in May is too early. Then there are the defiant few that don't have time to listen it. These are the riders that trained all winter and believe that whatever this Brute can dish out, regardless of how painful those last few climbs become, they will prevail.

The 2010 BRUTE will challenge cyclist with two routes, a 100K & 200K. As always, the routes will ascend 100 feet for every mile pedaled. The routes will lead cyclists up scenic valleys to ridge lines with spectacular views. Staged in a region where Wisconsin's' Driftless meets the Mississippi, the routes are characterized by long climbs and descents. Cyclists riding the 200K will have 14 'mile-long' climbs, 100k riders will have 8 'mile-long' climbs.
