Ride The Ridges

Saturday - September 19, 2020

The RTR ride committee is reviewing guidance related to the coronavirus and

making necessary adjustments.

Active promotion for Ride The Ridges 2020 has been suspended.

The committee will continue to assess options for the event and share updates through this RTR website, Strava, Facebook, and eBlasts.

We will monitor circumstances in the weeks ahead, with the hope -

and goal - of hosting the eighth annual RTR in September.

Practice social distancing - and keep riding.

Stay Safe! ~ Ride Safe!

Thanks to all riders, sponsors, and volunteers

for making RTR 2019 a very successful day!

The Winona Rotary Club strives to make every aspect of RTR a superior experience for all riders.

RIDE THE RIDGES - tour the blufflands of Southeastern Minnesota and experience some of the state's most scenic areas. Beautiful scenery – from lush valleys along quiet streams to majestic bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. Now in its eighth year, RTR is the region's premier bicycle tour. Choose one of four routes, ranging from 18 miles to a Century, all having well-stocked rest stops, friendly hosts, and SAG support.

For an extra challenge - ride the new "Century Plus" and claim over a mile of vertical climb!
