The Tour de Sprawl is not a race. Riders establish their own pace, however all participants convene at each stop to enjoy the view and to hear from our speakers.
The Tour will include bike support services, a sag wagon and light refreshments, though we suggest eating lunch prior to the start. An ANSI-certified bike helmet is required equipment for all participants.
At the end of the ride, well celebrate with live music and food at the picturesque Peninsula Point Park in Anoka. Participants will have the option of returning on their bikes (without support services) or loading up their bikes on our support-truck and returning via shuttle bus.
