Route

The route begins in Red Wing Minnesota and heads around Lake Pepin  clockwise with an overnight in Wabasha. The total is about 85 miles for those foolish  enough to keep track. Both days have many route options with quieter roads and  additional pass storming and rough stuff. For those new to this form of vintage  cycling, we recommend you follow the basic route as outlined in the Tourbook.  Before the Tour, have a look at a general map of the Lake Pepin area and plot  your possibilities. Remember, your discoveries are yours and  yours alone and you will cherish them as jewels in the years to come.

"Enduring the rigors of high adventure  creates a bond between rider and steed that is not easily broken." -John  Calkins
