4 Great cycling events

We have a lot of great events coming to Cable this Spring including 4 premiere mountain bike events. The CAMBA Festival of Trails, The Mt. Borah Epic, The Cheq 100 bike race and the Cable Classic Bike Race.

Book a room, grab a campsite, or get the cabin ready for visitors. Join us for a pizza, a beer and some comraderie.

 

 

We dug it! 

Thank your to those that came out for the CAMBA trail digger fundraiser on May 9th at the Rivers Eatery.  We hope you had a good time.  You can't beat the company, the grub and the refreshments; River Pig, Buffalo Sweat, Spotted Cow, South Shore Nut Brown, Fat Tire, Hopdinger, Ranger, Rye, Oakey's Stout, Red Zin and root beer.  My that was a good night.  Oh, and we raised a few grand for CAMBA thanks to the generousity of the good folks that build and enjoy the trails.

 

The Power of Pizza

During the months of April, May and June the Rivers Eatery will host several fundraisers to help fuel the economic and social engines of the Cable area. 

 

This spring's recipents include a local high school baseball team in April, a trail building effort in the northern part of Bayfield County in conjunction with CAMBA in May, a non-profit organization creating opportunities for artists with disabilities in June, and soon athletes aspiring to become olympians.  

 

The Rivers Eatery will donate the net proceeds from the events to the efforts.  Your role is to attend the events, eat pizza, drink beverages and enjoy the comraderie.  The baseball event has successfully concluded; The CAMBA event is May 9th from 6-9;  The art event is scheduled for June 29th 3-5; and the athlete fundraiser will be posted and conducted very soon.

 

Mount Borah Epic

The First Annual Mount Borah Epic is now starting in downtown Cable. We couldn't be happier. Stop by for a pre or post race pizza and beverage. The Rivers Eatery welcomes you and your supporters for a great weekend of racing and festivities.

The fatbike birkie was a big success!! Congratulations to Telemark Resort, The American Birkebeiner and all the riders. Some of you giggled with excitement... we heard you! Also, thank you for dropping by The Rivers Eatery to share the glow. It was so fun serving you. You proved once again that "Our economic engine is silent."

 

North End Classic - Feb 10, 2013

The Rivers Eatery was proud to be the host location for the North End Classic registration, bib-pickup and post race celebration again for 2013.  It was 150 bowls of Souper fun!

Thank you!

It seems we have spent the last 5 years saying "thank you". But, we mean it. Your willingness to tell your friends and family about us has kept us busy again this year. By now you know that we have a simple plan for success. We serve cool food in cool space to cool people. This is not a slogan for us. We love our space, we love our food and we love our customers. If you keep telling your friends and family we will keep using quality ingredients and working hard to meet your expectations. Thank you again for filling our building in 2012. We hope to see you again soon.

 

The Rivers Eatery voted as Top 10 Adventure Bar in the U.S.
We are honored to be named one of the Top 10 Adventure Bars by Switchback Travel. We want to thank our silent sport fans for supporting us and voting. Thank you!
The Rivers Eatery on Discover Wisconsin
The Rivers Eatery was fortunate to be featured in a recent episode of Discover Wisconsin. Host Emmy Fink and crew visit a variety of pizza restaurants throughout Wisconsin and spend a night in The Rivers Eatery.
 
It was fun to see how much the crew had learned about pizza as they traveled from place to place. We learned as much from them as they learned from us.
What makes a great pizza? We think its a big chemistry experiment. To make a pizza like ours you need great ingredients, a big stone oven, an old building and a quirky method of dough management.
Thats the beauty of pizza. You simply can't make the same pizza in two different locations.
In our segment, Emmy falls in love with a pizza we call the Spirit Creek. You can view the full episode at http://kididdel.com/Channels/ChannelView/tabid/66/Default.aspx?rid=4ObwkRk8ZmyJt%2f1Yp31t4g%3d%3d.
She even shares a meal with one of our favorite customers and renaissance man Bill B in a special outtake session http://www.discoverwisconsin.com/Destination.aspx?sdid=7615. Check it out.
 
Thanks to Discover Wisconsin and The WI Dairy Marketing Board for finding us and telling our story.

 

 

 

 

Evidence that Pizza is Great Pre-race and Post Race Fuel*

We noticed one of our favorite people and employees, Carolyn Ocariz was eating an awful lot of pizza Birkie week.  She was even taking pizza home at the end of her work shift to share with husband, Santi.  As it turns out, she was the winner of the Classic 2012 Birkie!  Congratulations Carolyn...we couldn't be happier or prouder!  We also witnessed over 500 skiers consuming stone oven pizza at the Rivers Eatery post-race. 

*This was not a scientific study.  Four years of anectdotal data should not be considered proof that pizza is good for you.  We advise each person eat stone oven pizza at their own pace and monitor the results carefully before drawing conclusions.

 

 

A Fat Tire Weekend for the record books!

Wow. What a great event.  Thousands of happy people and hundreds of volunteers and staff made it happen.  Thanks to the Fat Man Gary Crandall and his supporting cast for not only filling the town of Cable but for putting on a world-class event in our back yard.

 

To the finishers and champions that chose to spend time with us before and after the race, thank you!  We were glad to see you all had a great time.
