Last chance to register for the musical Saint Paul Classic fall bicycle ride

The 30th Annual Saint Paul Classic Bike Tour is a music-filled fall bicycle ride through the Capital City. It offers fun for all who participate. This year’s ride on Sunday, September 8, will again showcase the beauty of the east Twin Cities Metro Area. Riders will celebrate riding through historic neighborhoods along the 12.5-mile “Lollipop Loop,” the 30-mile Saint Paul Grand Round, or add a lap around Lake Phalen for 33 miles. Registration for the event closes this Thursday, September 5th.

About this fall bicycle ride

Saint Paul Classic riders always find plenty of good treats along the course.

The Saint Paul Classic Bike Tour is one of the most comfortable, family-friendly bike rides in Minnesota. Known throughout the area for its quality, all proceeds from this fall bicycle ride support the mission-driven work of the Friends of the Parks and Trails.

The Classic is an excellent experience for all ages and skill levels. In this relaxed environment, the tour winds through historic neighborhoods, beautiful parks and parkways, and the revitalized downtown riverfront. Join new and old friends for a non-competitive, go-at-your-own-pace- ride, with rest stops full of tasty treats. All you need to do is:

Participate in an event that champions bicycling
Choose a route distance you are comfortable with
Enjoy mostly traffic-free cycling, with much of the tour closed to motorists
Rest assured, medics, police, and SAG wagons are on hand for your safety and convenience
Enjoy fresh, local produce and baked goods at each well-stocked rest stop
Groove to the live music performed by local artists at each rest stop
Have fun!
