EVENTS
All courses are fully stocked with aid stations and mobile Support and Gear (SAG) . John Berry of Madison founded Berry Fast Bicycles , where he travels in his decked out Ford Transit van to similar events in South Dakota and the surrounding states. “When he’s not working with events, he provides bike repair service to communities with no bike shops,” said Geigle. “Last year in Wall, we had 10 bikes waiting for him to repair.” Wheelin’ to Wall takes place the fourth Saturday in September on National Public Lands Day , which encourages people to get outdoors, enjoy nature, and give back to the community through environmental conservation and restoration. Proceeds from the ride are used to improve the walking and biking infrastructure in the Wall-Badlands area, which benefit locals and visitors alike. “One improvement includes the Dero Self-Repair Bike Station by the Wall Community Library ,” said Geigle.
