2019RIDEMN1

Per Ride Camping for Saturday Night September 7th is included. We will be camping at Lake Bronson State Park at their Group Camping area on County Road #10 – NOTE: the entrance to the Group Camp is NOT the same as the entrance to the main State Park.

Although this is a Group Campground, Hot Showers are included. We will have access to electric hookups and a shelter.

Dinner will be provided by RideMN1 at the Campground at 7 PM.

For those interested, we are planning a ‘warmup ride’ on this Saturday (September 7th).
This ‘warmup’ is about 29 miles and will start at the Red River a few miles west of Hallock and end at the Lake Bronson State park Group Campsite. SAG support and snacks will be provided.

At 2:00 PM RideMN1 will transport Riders FROM the Lake Bronson State Park Group Campground to the Red River Bridge on Minnesota Highway #175.

Please indicate on the Rider Registration Form if you are interested in participating in the ‘warmup’ ride.

RideMN1 will provide all meals beginning with a pre-ride dinner the night of Saturday September 7th at Lake Bronson State Park and ending with an early dinner Saturday September 14th in Silver Bay. 22 meals in all – 7 Breakfasts, 7 Lunches, and 8 Diners.

Most meals are at local cafes and restaurants where we engage with the local communities. Usually participants ‘order off the menu’ but occasionally we will arrange a preplanned meal. We try consider diversified appetites (vegan) to the extent possible. Some meals will be prepared by RIddeMN1 where logistics require so.
On the road fruit, snacks, and beverages are also included.

RideMN1 will provide SAG support by transporting broke down Riders and bicycles to the scheduled day’s ride end. We will work with those affected to repair their bikes and depending upon availability of volunteers and location, we MAY be able to call upon one of the Bike Shops in the area.

Luggage Transportation – 120 LB Limit – (40 LB per ‘bag’)

We encourage Riders to pack spare parts – tires, tubes, pedals, chains, etc.
With a 120 LB weight limit, Riders have the option of packing a few more ‘comforts’ – thick air mattresses and electric pumps. Some Riders pack fans and heaters for those occasional warmer/cooler nights when we have access to electricity. In most cases, we will have AC power available to all participant campsites!

• A signed Waiver Form is required.  No exceptions will be permitted!
