THE TWO HUNDO FUNDO
or
A Wild Day Around
A self supported mixed-surface enduro RIDE for the masses!
100% free, 100% self supported
Ever wanted to take a shot at an enduro ride, but didnt want to drive six hours out of the city, or spend hundreds of dollars? Or maybe you're not confident you could finish the whole thing and you dont want to be stranded in the woods, hours from civilization, with nothing except emergency services to rescue you?
Then this is the event for you! A 200 mile (ISH) group ride that starts and ends in south MPLS, where you are never more than a 30-45 minute drive from the city proper, with dozens of potential turn off points to call the ride early if needed. AND you can sleep in your own bed the night before, and the night after!
Already a seasoned rider? Come along for what is quite simply a very very pretty bike ride with lots of pals! Make the ride what you want, no matter the skill level.
About 30%-40% unpaved, and around 85%-90% on bike paths/lanes/pedestrian infrastructure.
Not a road ride, not a gravel ride. Just a good time.
Start at Bracket Park, head out to Stillwater, dip your toes across the border then shoot down to Afton, cut over through Cottage Grove, swoop around Lilydale into the river bottoms, come out at Bloomington Ferry Bridge, through Shakopee and Chaska out to Lake Waconia. From there, a little jaunt around the lake out to New Germany, then up to the Luce Line, which will take you all the way to Wayzata, where you'll take a little shortcut back to Minneapolis and the Cedar Lake trail, which will eventually lead you to the Mississippi River, where you'll head north to the Coon Rapids Dam, before heading back to where it all began!
