Ray's MTB Milwaukee trip

The new Ray's Mountain bike park opened in Milwaukee a few weeks ago, and as luck would have it, I'm on a paid vacation, so it was decided that a small road trip was in order. Just across the Wisconsin border in Marinette, we stopped at a place called Blue Bike Burrito, which was super rad. They had old bikes, photographs of bikes, and even chairs and tables made with bike parts. The burrito was dang good too (note: we ate burritos every day of the trip).

Friday night we stopped at Four Seasons skatepark. It was a sweet park in an old industrial building. 11 bucks gets you an eight hour session there. It is a rad park, and worth checking out. We spent the weekend sleeping at University of Wisconsin, on the 12th floor of a 26 story dorm building.

We rode Ray's all day Saturday and Sunday. I would like to start by saying, if you ever get the chance to ride this place, do it. Easily it was the best skatpark I have ever been to. In the center is the skatepark section, which was all tranny. Around the outside was the box rhythm sections, which range from 7 to 12 consecutive jumps, and have wild berm hips. There are beginner and expert sections for the mountain bike courses, which have wild set ups and are super fun on a bmx. Riding bridges made of logs connected with large rocks is amazing. There are lounge areas all over with picnic tables and couches with tvs playing videos all the time. One thing I liked is the bike maintenance area, with a truing stand, pump and wrenches. All in all, this park is the greatest place ever for a biker, unless you are some kind of loser who talks shit on trails and tranny. I am debating living in a tent in the parking lot so I can just ride this place full time.
