Riders’ Comments

It really is a spectacular ride

An exceptionally beautiful ride and perfectly orchestrated – nice job!

Wonderfully done, great signage, rest stops filled with happy crews and good refreshments and food.

The support team on the road and at the rest stops were super nice and helpful with a great selection at the stops.

Beautiful views; wonderful people.

This was my second year at Ride The Ridges, and it was great being back for this great ride.

I was thankful for the SAG support when I had a flat!

The scenery from the top of the ridges to the valleys below is spectacular!

This is a gorgeous ride with 5 climbs that are challenging but definitely achievable even by riders who aren’t used to climbing. And there are a lot of very enthusiastic volunteers to cheer you on!

Great scenery, small towns, epic climbs, and fun descents. Friendly volunteers.

Amazingly well-run event with great views of the bluff area

Very clear and helpful signage.  Excellent rest stops strategically placed before or after long climbs. Friendly staff and volunteers.

Perfect roads very few cars – great scenery

The fact that it’s a ride, not a race, means you can really enjoy the beauty of the region and take your time at the rest stops and make new friends.

Hard to find a wider variety of challenges including climbing in the state of MN

Do you like hills?

The enthusiasm of volunteers is special: from the time you enter at packet pick-up, rest stops, finish line to lunch area. Everyone is fully invested in our enjoyment of the ride.

Great after ride party with friendly volunteers.

The Bloedow’s donuts are worth the entry fee.

Gorgeous ride
