Description

Trail Ride

Distance - Up to 60 miles

Bike World and the Des Moines Cycle Club are providing this year's Annual Tour de Fall with a fully supported trip to Lanesboro, MN and the Root River Trail!

Biking lovers rave about the spectacular paved Root River State Bike Trail that winds 60 miles through the valley with Lanesboro at its heart. It runs along an abandoned railroad bed through towering 300-foot limestone bluffs, forestlands, river, rolling fields and pure inspiration.

A chartered bus will leave the Bike World West parking lot at 7:00a...m on Saturday, September 28, 2013, and take you to Lanesboro, arriving at approximately 12:00pm where your bike, camping gear, and a hot lunch of smoked loin, bbq beans, salad, and veggies will be waiting for you! Just get your bike, (and accessories you will need for up to a 60 mile ride), and overnight camp gear to Bike World West NO LATER than Thursday, September 26th to be loaded on the Bike World trailer. The trailer will head up to Lanesboro on Friday the 27th.

After you eat, you'll want to find that perfect spot to set up your tent. Then grab a water bottle and helmet and take off on the trail in any direction you choose and explore! The afternoon and evening are yours to bike, stop in and shop at the dozens of quaint stores and boutiques that Lanesboro and the surrounding communities along the Root River Trail system have to offer!

Once you've dined on your own and are ready to wind down for the evening relax back at camp with a bonfire and share your day's stories with other fellow cyclists in our group!

Wake up Sunday morning to the smell of hot coffee and a full breakfast of omelets, muffins, bananas and yogurt all provided by Bike World!

After breakfast we will head back out to the trail until we board the bus with our box dinners and head back to Des Moines.
