2010 Bike Ride
July 10th
Registration begins at 6:30am
7:00 am Start for the 100 Mile Ride
8:30 am Start for Other Rides
All rides begin at Adams this year.
Routes are revised from past years to provide new riding
experiences.
As the trail evolves with increased mileage over the years expect
more changes in future years.
The "Bike Ride" page has all the details,
including maps and registration forms.
The trail now is 15 miles of 8 foot wide asphalt from the
eastern trailhead in LeRoy to the Adams City Park on the west end.
There is plenty of parking at both ends with
restroom and covered picnic areas. Midway in Taopi is another
restroom and picnic table with parking.
Riders who wish to stay overnight may contact the
Rose Pedaler /
Log Cabin Inn (Rose Creek) or
Sweets Hotel
(LeRoy). It will also be "camping season" at
Lake Louise State Park, one of the top-rated camping facilities
in the MN State Park system.
Adams
City Park also has overnight camping and an outdoor swimming pool
near the park. The City of
LeRoy also
has places of interest to visit.
Delicious food service is available in Rose Creek,
Adams and LeRoy with choices of fine dining, down-home cooking, and
take out.
Much of the trail follows the long-abandoned railway
of the Milwaukee Road. In addition to public restrooms and
sheltered picnic areas, the trail runs through Lake Louise State
Park with its picnic and camping facilities.
Further westward extension of the trail about 7
miles toward Rose
Creek is underway. Much of the earthmoving and bridge work
took place in late 2009 and paving is yet to be scheduled.

This site is one of three related webs.
The others are: Prairie
Visions and
Shooting
Star Scenic Byway. Together all three represent a cooperation by
the four small cities of Adams, LeRoy, Rose Creek and Taopi in
southeast Mower County
plus a dedicated cadre of volunteers who proudly wish to share their historic and
scenic attractions with the rest of the state and country.
