Riders’ Comments

Best scenery and organized ride in the Midwest

It was very well put together. The sign markers were very easy to read and the stops were so well put together. I also felt comfortable safety wise as there were many different support vehicles seen throughout the course.

Fun with friends

Ride The Ridges is a great event- the best aid stations and support for riders around!!

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

I was just thinking this morning that I wouldn’t have needed to bring anything. The stops had dill pickle shots, Clif bars, sandwiches… it was awesome.

Beautiful views; wonderful people.

This ride is a great blend of challenge, scenery, and fun!

Beautiful course, great rest stops, friendly helpful volunteers!

Great volunteers at rest stops.

The ride is scenic and challenging. The planning and execution are great. Winona is a great place to visit and a great drive from the Twin Cities.

It really is a spectacular ride

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!

Cat 4 climbs, of course for century ride

Breath taking scenery and best rest stops ever!

Perfect ride food at the rest stops, especially the pickles and pickle juice

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

I wish that other ride organizers would ride Ride The Ridges. THIS is how to run a ride!

Extremely well organized.

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.
