Beyond Design Bike Tour

The Beyond Design Bike Tour (BDBT) is an annual fundraising and networking event organized by the Eppstein Uhen Tennessen Foundation. Its primary aim is to raise funds for local charities within our community while fostering connections among partners, clients and friends. Commencing 21 years ago, the event serves as a weekday bike ride through the picturesque landscapes of Wisconsin. The Eppstein Uhen Tennessen Foundation was established by EUA in 2007, commemorating our 100-year anniversary. Its core mission revolves around enhancing the quality of life for individuals in the communities where we reside and operate. Each year, the BDBT garners funds through sponsorships and contributions, which are then allocated to support the Foundation and various local charities across communities where EUA maintains offices. Over its history, the BDBT has successfully raised more than $1 million for charitable causes. This year’s event will once again take place at Embers of Tuscany (formerly Chivaree), traversing the country roads of Ixonia and neighboring areas. Riders of all skill levels are encouraged to join in, with support and rest stops conveniently positioned along the route. Participants can choose from routes spanning 20, 37 and 70 miles, ensuring inclusive opportunities for all. We are so excited to announce that Logan's Heart and Smiles has been chosen as the designated charity for the BDBT 2026 ride. Logan’s Heart and Smiles is a Madison based non-profit organization dedicated to improving homes and inspiring hope for children with disabilities across Wisconsin. They work to eliminate both the physical and social barriers, by making accessibility and safety upgrades through the Home Modification program and providing inclusion, connection and community through the Beyond the Build program.
