Café Hollander Otto Wenz Downer Classic Bike Race

The Café Hollander Otto Wenz Downer Classic is a staple in Wisconsin's cycling scene, drawing both local and international competitors. Held on the historic Downer Avenue, this event offers a full day of racing, from kids' events to the high-stakes twilight pro race. It's not just about the bikes, though — the event is a community celebration with food, drinks, and activities for all ages.

The kids' races are a highlight, with age groups ranging from 3 to 12, and every participant gets a sweet treat at the end. The Dairyland Mile, organized by Infinity Running, adds a fast-paced running component to the day. Whether you're a cycling enthusiast or just looking for a fun day out, the Downer Classic is a must-visit.
