This Century Ride brings you across the beautiful state of Minnesota, along a 102-mile route. This route includes paved paths, gravel, and paved roads. Riders should be familiar and comfortable with riding on two-lane roads with traffic, climbing and descending hills, and urban riding in traffic. There will be van SAG support to provide help with routine repairs and provide transportation when needed. Rest stops will be located along the route with water and snacks for riders. A catered lunch will be provided for all riders as well.
You can look at the route with RidewithGPS.com, which can be downloaded and installed free of charge. The maps offer Google Maps functionality on your computer, including street view, satellite images, etc. Below is the link for the route which loops through the state of Minnesota, starting and ending in Minneapolis.
