Join Team Ride The Ridges on Strava.

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!
