\n\nAbout the Ride
\n\nThis ride is being hailed by riders as one of the most scenic and hospitable rides in Minnesota! With three ride options\, this ride is perfect for families\, novice bike riders\, and experienced riders. \;NEW this year\; all rides will 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. Experienced adult riders can opt to ride an alternate route on the highway a short distance to connect). There is not a &ldquo\;group start&rdquo\;\, but rather riders can begin the ride as early as 6:30am and as late as 8:30am. All riders must be back the Crow River Winery and checked-in by 2pm. Riders wishing to extend their ride by riding the Dakota and Luce Line Trail system to/from the metro area can learn more here.
