About the Ride

This ride is hailed by riders as one of the most scenic and hospitable rides in Minnesota! With four ride options, this ride is perfect for families, novice bike riders and experienced riders. Back by popular demand this year is the 75K Gravel Grinder; perfect for those who love to ride on gravel! All rides begin and end at the Crow River Winery, which connects with the Luce Line Trail via a 1/4 mile packed gravel trail (the only portion not paved, is the connection from the Winery to the Luce Line Trail). Experienced adult riders can opt to ride an alternate route on the highway a short distance to connect to the Luce Line. There is not a “group start”, but rather riders can begin the ride as early as 7:00am and as late as 9:00am. All riders must be back to Crow River Winery and checked-in by 3pm. Riders wishing to extend their ride by riding the Dakota and Luce Line Trail system to/from the metro area can learn more here.

Routes are subject to change, with minor adjustments for road construction or conditions.  Please check for any last minute changes at registration the day of the ride. 
Maps are available for viewing / download here and will also be available at the registration table and rest stops.
