The Ride
June 18th - June 25th, 2023
The bike ride will be along the Mississippi River Trial in Minnesota from the headwaters in Itasca to the Iowa border. The entire ride is approximately 480 miles and the plan is to do this in 8-9 days. It will be a self supported ride so I will be setting up my own lodging and carrying my own gear, staying primarily at camp sites and a few hotels along the way. Anyone is welcome to join, whether that be for one day, the entire ride, or just to stop by the path to wave as I pedal by. Below is a rough itinerary of the day to day plan, but some of these may change as the ride happens due to weather and how myself and other riders are feeling physically. I will be logging a blog post each evening after riding to keep people updated.
