Newspaper article said they had between 30 and 40,000 riders attended. Riders donated over $120,000.00 to MDA. Locals were all happy to have the riders in and appreciated the influx to the business community. Link to newspaper article from Wausau: ttp://www.wausaudailyherald.com/article/20090920/WDH0101/90920053/1581/WDH01/Crashes--brawl-injure-several-on-Fall-Ride-weekend

I have to agree with bagga......We were all excited about staying there this year, since the last few years
have been wet and COLD and we missed out staying in Tomahawk.
Still remember the years at the speedway.....thought it would be like that.
When we got there it looked like a typical music festival gathering.
Too many trailers and motorhomes for me.
We ended up staying about a mile away and tenting with a group from Iowa....had a Blast.
Tomahawk is getting to be one of those BIG events for sure.
