Ride With One Of The World's Best Cycling Coaches, Chris Carmichael in the Tour de Cure

The Twin Cities Tour de Cure is Minnesota’s premiere one day cycling event.

Our magnificent metropolitan tour features the best of Minneapolis and St. Paul, from lakes to rivers, skyscrapers to stadiums, downtown to uptown, and everything in between.

Riders enjoy the route variety – from quiet suburban park trails to busy commuter bike lanes.  Rest stops at scenic venues like Shadow Falls and Harriet Island provide amazing backdrops for necessary refueling.

Choose from our 7 mile River Ride, 18 or 27 mile Scenic Sampler, 45 mile Ultimate Urban Tour, 62 mile Wild West Ride (100 km metric century), or our newest addition, a 100 mile Urban Century Ride.   With a route for cyclists of every age and ability, Tour de Cure meets the needs of avid road cyclists, casual family riders, corporate teams and everyone in between.  Ride like a pro with full SAG, medical, mechanical, and radio support. 

Speaking of pros, Chris Carmichael, world renowned coach and trainer, will be among the riders of our inaugural 100 mile route.  Chris has worked with several elite athletes, including seven-time Tour de France Champion, Lance Armstrong.  Now is your chance to ride with one of the world’s best cycling coaches!
