You must be a TCBC member to participate; please register for each day’s ride so that ride leaders can contact you. 

This is Day 2 of a three-day ride. You are welcome for any or all days.

We leave the Albany trailhead at  9:45 a.m.  We will head west on the Wobegon Trail and then north on the Holdingford spur. Option 1 is out and back to Holdingford and return, 22 miles. Option 2 is out and back to Bowlus and return, 36 miles. Option 3 is to continue past Bowlus to the Mississippi River dam and return; this adds another 6 miles, for a total of 42 miles or all the way to the Soo Line terminus, for a total of 46 miles. No matter what, you’ll find a great place for lunch:  the BoHo Café in Holdingford or Jordie’s Trailside in Bowlus. 

A group dinner on Saturday will be arranged.
