WAUSAU, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Ironbull in Wausau is urging people to get outside and enjoy the warm October we are having.

The endurance athletic group is holding a bike ride and several races Saturday, Oct. 17. 

Riders can choose from a family-friendly 12-miler or longer races.

Their 140-mile race covers some hidden gems.

"This is only the second time ever bikes have been allowed at rib mountains state park. The first time was our event last year," Andrea Larson, executive director of Ironbull, said. "We also have the Wausau School Forest, Nine Mile recreation area which is actually closed to bikes at this time, but we are able to have bikes access that."
