Item Description

Pick a trip with Joel Patenaude, editor of Silent Sports Magazine, the go-to guide for self-propelled recreation and competition in the upper Midwest. Because, like his readers, Joel "multisports" -- he bikes, runs and skis -- the winning bidder and a guest can choose one of the following day-long outings, set the pace and enjoy a beer or a coffee at a local establishment as part of their cooldown.

OPTION NO. 1:
Vilas County Bike Tour: Join the magazine editor where residents have fought and won multiple times to keep their public lands safe and serene for silent sports enthusiasts. Prepare to ride on and/or off road, as there are 23 miles of rolling paved trails and 12 miles of off-road riding opportunities in this bike-friendly northwest corner of Wisconsin.

OPTION NO. 2:
Blue Mound State Park Trail Run: In the late 1980s, the editor's high school cross country team trained on the trails at Blue Mound State Park. Since then, phenomenal singletrack built specifically for mountain bikers and snowshoers hosts runners like him.

OPTION NO. 3:
Minocqua Winter Park Ski: When snow is scarce elsewhere in Wisconsin, Minocqua Winter Park can be relied upon to have and hold snow. This unique, expanding county-owned Nordic Center is the editor's secret weapon as he trains there on classic skis for the American Birkebeiner and other winter marathons.

This "choose-your-own adventure" opportunity can be further customized according to the winning bidder's seasonal preference and fitness. Joel is flexible, so long as a majority of the time is spent in Wisconsin's great outdoors.
